For example, collating your feedback thus far, we have arrived at a low-cut, sleek skate-type shoe with a "cupsole" style "outsole." The side (or "quarter") as well as the "heel counter" are broad and available for whatever art or expression we collectively choose. I am suggesting a single, giant semicolon, but I'm open to suggestions. Materials for these portions can be combined (with suede, canvas, or leather being the most common). They're suggesting no more than three colors for the raw construction.
