anyone else disappointed by some of the finalists?
There was lots of shoes I was expecting to see make it that didn't
and some of the chosen finalists are just plain sad compared to some of the other shoes that were submitted.
I do not comprehend
Some of the finalists aren't too hot, I agree...but we do have some nice ones like Extremeicon's entry. (Futureshifted mana symbols) And the Damnation/Wrath one...

I was kind of disappointed that they opened it back up to everyone. I was so stoked this morning when I was named a finalist but then they changed their minds around noon and opened it up to all 500 some designs. Oh well.
If you vote for me I'll be your friend...

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
The statement on the rules page seems to imply that the vote is still just between the 27 finalists. I could be wrong about that, but I can't imagine that they would have Jarvis and Co. pick out their favorites and then just ignore that. Even if that isn't the case, the 27, being in front, will obviously get the most attention.
I feel like the only person on here, (and RYZ) that isn't creaming my pants over extremicons design.
The bland grey feeling of it just totally turns me off :/
I guess having an opinion that is different from yours = "brownosing" (putting your brow on someone's nose? I'm not sure).
Either way, I prefer the more subdued look to the bright blue and pink designs I've seen on there. Extremeicon's design is one of few I'd feel like wearing someplace other than a magic tournament.

I was going for something that would actually be applicable for daily use. It'd be cool to have a shoe with your favorite card on there but if you're going to be dropping $100 on a pair of shoes, I know I'd prefer it be something that I'd wear apart from just to Magic tournaments and such.

Sucks they took away the meaning of being a finalist. Still, some of those other shoes they choose weren't so good. Actually there's lots of bad/repeat designs. However, there are a few gems if keep looking.
I think it's just the top one. I'm not sure how they calculate it, exactly - whether it's the shoe with the highest average rating or the shoe with the most "Love It" ratings... I haven't seen them specify that anywhere.

Actually I was over there and in the timeline it says 7/3/09, winnerS will be announced. So that indicates multiple shoes could get made. Still no idea if thats 2, 3 or 27 or whatever.
Hope you make it.

I took the delay in announcing the winner more to mean that they wanted to be able to filter out designs that they don't want the Magic name attached to that happened to get a ton of votes (there's a couple up for vote that don't have the slightest thing to do with MtG).
I just wish the voting deadline was sooner. I know my friends, family, and coworkers are going to be sick to death of me reminding them to vote every day

Media is not making me steal. But in a way is like the story of the very hot girl with the short skirt teasing the old sick guy with a history of rape.
I did this but I have a feeling its not strong enough to win. I think there should be more than one winner though; especially considering how many shoes cater to only a single color or type of player.
I saw someone posting on their forums how there would be a second prize of $250 but I have no idea where they got that from. That would be nice, too, but it wouldn't go as far in replacing the things that got fried when our house got struck by lightning last year as the $1000 would

I don't like the tongue on that one but I like the Wizards logo on the inside - it's the only shoe I've seen that used that over the Magic logo. Also, my wife's getting incredibly sick of me reminding her verbally and via Facebook to "Rate my shoe!" every couple hours

This and extremeicons are the only ones I would wear.
I totally agree. Those are definiteley the best, there are a few other good ones but, I would only wear those two. I'm pullin' for you Extremeicon, but I think I like the solid gold ones the best. But not by much. They-re both good.

Do we have to login to vote? I don't really want to create an account there just for this..
With benefits?
My favorite pair was "islandwalk" - a blue mana symbol on the heel. Very elegant.
Like one of my fav: http://ryzwear.com/shoe/detail/8367/steamboots (never guess why ).
Also I voted for your's icon and I voted it highly. Remember people you can also vote the jank low to help keep it from being made.
Also, anyone know how many they're going to make? Like top 3 or 5, or is it just the number 1?

This is the only one I would put on my feet. All the ones with mana symbols are too bland, and the other card art ones are mostly of bad cards.
