Power Force names shoe design winners
Power Force Apparel has announced the winner of its first "Design the 'You' Shoe" competition. The winners were selected from more than 7,800 entries from across the US.
Athletic footwear designers submit their designs for a chance to win up to $25,000, have their design produced by Power Force and named after the designer.
Quintin Lamar Williams from Elko, Georgia, won the top prize. A graduate of Savannah College of Art & Design, Quintin was hand-selected by the former Jordan brand design director D-Wayne Edwards to join Pensole, a footwear design course in Portland, Oregon. Quintin recently completed a two-month footwear study in Dongguan, China.
The second prize winner was Michael Matteo from Cincinnati, Ohio, who received $15,000, while the third place winner was John Muhlenkamp from El Dorado Hills, California, who won $10,000.
The three winners will be flown to New York City in June to officially unveil their designs.
Founded in 2010, Power Force produces ion-infused athletic shoes and apparel.
