Goldy Gopher sports new custom sneakers
University of Minnesota student Chris Hui wears two hats: student and custom sneaker designer. He recently made an incredible pair of custom shoes for Goldy Gopher and the U did an awesome time lapse of the project.
Chris said one of the inspirations for the shoes is the maroon and gold overalls that a lot of fans wear to game day at TCF Bank Stadium.
A little more about the project can be found here. Here's some good exceprts:
If a Heisman were to be awarded for creating amazing sneakers, Hui would be a top contender, and Goldy Gopher might be his biggest booster (see video). For the time being, Hui is content as a U student with a major in marketing and a minor in design. But his sneaker-painting resume is eye-catching, to say the least.
AND
As the years have passed, C2 has gained a good share of fame, if not fortune. His clientele includes NBA superstar LeBron James, baseball stars Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun, rapper Lupe Fiasco, and late-night TV host Carson Daly. His pieces have traveled the world in exhibitions, and he’s been featured in TIME and on Carson Daly.
