Okay, so today, what do you look for in custom sneakers, right? What grabs your eye first? Is it the design itself, the story behind the design, both of those? It's a little bit of both.
I think the cool part about it is if you go look at all, you know, the shoes behind me, if you look at all of the entries and went through a pass one time and then you did it again, you probably notice just different things every time. That's the cool part about The creativity is every interaction you have with the shoe, you might get something different from it. I think maybe the first thing I think about is like the texture and the materials. That's something that stands out a lot to me. If you could take a shoe that, you know, was a certain material and then kind of remix it, and you know, the mixing and matching of materials and how the texturization of shoes, that to me stands out because it gives it that even more like 4D element almost. Yeah. And then you go into color, then you go into like, oh, what is the actual theme here? I am a fiend I have a keen for hand painting too. That's something that's really cool. I don't have that skill set at all. And so when I see it done at a high level, it, uh, I enjoy that. Yeah.
