Having just completed its third go-round, the Nike Future Sole competition produced more dope entries than any year so far. Whereas last year’s contest was centered around designing a new Jordan Brand sneaker that turned out to be the Air Jordan Melo M6 Future Sole, this year’s design showdown added Nike SB and the N7 projecct, and the results suggest further expansion is warranted. Neil Zemba’s HTM2 Runboot-like lowtops won the N7 division grand prize, while Jordan winner Christopher Dixon’s midtops find themselves somewhere between the Zoom Kobe V and the upcoming CP3.IV. Check out photos of the Z-Corp resin model of both, plus Allen Largin’s Jordan Brand high school division winner and Josh Mann’s dope Nike SB offerings, all after the jump. via Eastbay
