The creatively of the video is amazing but the overall video didn't seem to have a true connect with the actually shoes themselves. Yea, I agree.

The concept of the shoes as animated beings is cute, but then cutting to original shoes climbing out of the original shoe and dancing around a plain surface creates a huge disconnect. Why is the viewer taken from an exciting playing field with new characters back to what looks like a storage closet? I really like the classic Cortez, so I don't appreciate the mundane treatment of the original shoe design. Why wasn't the classic shoe allowed to exist in the cooler playing field? These are just my creative thoughts. As for the shoe itself I appreciate the color, texture and fabric combination. The only feature that I find visually jarring is the sole of the shoe. It looks too rugged and thick for the shoe. Such a heavy sole takes away from the elegance of the shoe. Adding a stripe of color or two might help with that.
