Sole Plus Details
Sole Plus is a high school footwear design competition that was founded on the quote by Pablo Picasso, "Art washes away from the [sole] the dust of everyday life." The SOLES of our shoes collect dust and dirt from places traveled in the same way that our SOULS collect dust through life's trials. The Sole Plus design competition metaphorically washes the dust and dirt from the SOULS of our young artists by providing them with an avenue of expression. Sole Plus literally washes away the dust and dirt from the SOLES of our shoe recipients by providing a needed pair of shoes to replace old ones. The Sole Plus shoe design contest is more that art creation. It is a competition whose aim is to create a unique fusion of artistic expression and social activism for young artists and designers. It is a unique and focused program that gives today's youth a boisterous voice to bring awareness to the artist's chosen cause. The contest provides young designers with the opportunity to use their artistic abilities for something other than art for art's sake. It in affect allows the artist to creatively leave his or her own footprint. Sole Plus offers a real world application of their skills as well as the opportunity to directly connect with individuals in need. The goal of Sole Plus is twofold. The first focus is to encourage students to present their own message for social change. Students are challenged to create their message thoughtfully as well as artistically using Converse All Stars as their canvas. Sole Plus has created partnerships with women and children shelters throughout the United States. Through our collaboration, Student designers are able to personally deliver their handmade shoes to these recipients. In addition to tapping into artistic talents, students receive the gratification of using those same skills and talents to help a child in need.
