An intriguing coach joint effort is launching today – yet you’ll need to leave on a treasure hunt around London and Manchester to track down the shoes.
Google, Ellesse and Manchester-based creator Matt Burgess – behind streetwear brand MattB – have united to make another restricted version mentor.
Anyway, the new shoe – which has a plan that ‘combines artistic work with digital culture’ – has no name, so it can’t be looked for in the conventional manner (Otherwise known as popping it into Google).
All things being equal, you can track it down by tapping the camera symbol in the Google App and taking a snap.
The point of the coordinated effort is to show that it is so natural to ‘Find That Thing’ on the Google App utilising pictures rather than words – especially stand-out things that we sometimes don’t have the words for.
Banners of these anonymous coaches will be up around the capital and in Manchester.
Individuals can be in with a possible winning couple by tapping the camera symbol to look through them in the app, transferring their picture, and filling in their subtleties.
Remarking on the treasure hunt, footwear customiser, Matt Burgess, said: ‘We live in such a visual culture; thus quite a bit of modifying is accepting a current shoe as your material and envisioning and reproducing something new and extraordinary that sticks out. My motivation for the plan came from the possibility of an association through the web.
‘We needed to investigate this thought, and as a group, we teamed up on one material piece of quality, blending various mediums and fine arts of printing, painting and digital.
‘These exceptional custom mentors won’t ever be reproduced, and it’s significantly cooler that they must be believed to be looked.’
