The sneaker world has been thriving with the animation trend this year. We’ve seen remarkable partnerships between iconic shows like SpongeBob SquarePants and The Simpsons and leading footwear brands. There’s also been a wave of fresh designs oozing nostalgia from our favourite classic cartoons. In line with this theme, we’ve been busy crafting beautiful designs of our own, such as the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 3 with a Tom and Jerry spin. But now we are stepping over to the world of Looney Tunes with our concept for Sylvester and Tweety sneakers.
Sylvester And Tweet: Icons Of The Silver Screen
Chances are, you’re well acquainted with the legendary pair, Sylvester and Tweety. This dynamic cartoon duo have had fans in stitches ever since their debut in the 1947 masterpiece Tweetie Pie. I mean, who can forget their hilarious escapades, right from their classic cartoons to their detective sagas in the animated series The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries?
Their looks may have evolved over time, but the hilariously entertaining quarrels between them have never failed to keep us entertained. That’s why we felt compelled to capture their most well-know design in our unique Air Jordan 1 “Sylvester and Tweety” sneaker concept.
A Closer Look At The Design
This stylish design has been created by none other than our skilled designer, Brandon Krige, who previously transformed our Tom and Jerry Air Jordan 3 vision into reality. Krige continues his split-shoe strategy on this pair, with Sylvester shining proudly on the right sneaker and Tweety charmingly displayed on the left. However, their designs use their recognisable colours in a similar colour blocking to maintain the overall harmony.
With its playful combination of “White,” “Canary Yellow,” “Black,” and “Orange,” the left shoe effectively evokes the likeness of the beloved Tweety. The sneaker’s base, crafted from clean white leather, is modelled after Tweety’s big, endearing cartoon eyes. The overlays then reflect the cartoon character’s famed “Canary Yellow” coat of feathers, while the dark colours on the collar and wings emblem are inspired by his long eyelashes and adorable hair tufts. Lastly, his tiny little beak inspires the bright orange hue that adorns the sneaker’s famous Swooshes at the sides.
Now, if you thought you “saw a puddy tat!” Of course, you did! Sylvester’s signature “White,” “Black,” and “Red” hues are effectively showcased on the right shoe. White is used on the midsole, shoelaces, wings logo, and base to depict Sylvester’s belly, facial features, and soft paw fur. This is enhanced further by the portrayal of the his black fur on the collar and overlays. And to keep with the touch of red on his nose, the design is accentuated by vibrant red Swooshes.
The two iconic characters have also been added to their respective heels for a little added nostalgia. When placed together, it shows the duo in one of their classic chase scenes, with Sylvester in hot pursuit of Tweety Bird. In fact, we went so far as to create a conceptual packaging box that showcases their humorous “feud.” It’s all about the details, after all.
Would You Wear These Sylvester and Tweety Sneakers?
It’s a real shame that these sneakers are just a concept at this point. However, we hold out hope that these Sylvester and Tweety kicks will only remain in the realm of ideas for a short time. Any takers?
