our friends over at core77 are currently hosting the '1-hour design challenge: play-doh kicks',
in which they are asking readers to recreate their favourite footwear (sneakers, high-heels -
anything goes!) out of play-doh.

'cut loose and give your imagination a stretch. maybe you'll create a miniature tribute to your
favorite sneaker designer of all time. or, honor your humble, beat up kicks by sculpting
their likeness, busted soles and all.'

how to enter:
participants must execute their design in only 1 hour (all this based on the honor system)
and upload their entries to the designated competition forum .

you should include the name of the shoe you have recreated, along with any supporting text,
and photographs of your finished work including: a three-quarter view, side elevation
and an optional sole view. the images should be hi-resolution in case it is selected for publication
in sneaker freaker!

the challenge is open until saturday, september 25th, 2010 @ 9pm PST (4am GMT),
so you still have time to get your creativity flowing and sculpt some of your favourite kicks!
