Today we are launching a competition that can be considered anything but run of the mill. We are giving you the opportunity to customise the soles on a pair of Speciali boots. But this isn’t just something to do if you have a spare 30 minutes – the 11 designs judged best will be made for the designers to keep.

Oh, before I forget to mention… Amongst our highly esteemed judging panel there will be Michael Owen, Gaël Clichy, John Terry, Stuart Semple, the head of Umbro footwear design and an icon from the design world. And just in case that isn’t enough to get you motivated, Owen, Clichy and Terry will each pick a design to wear in a match.

Once uploaded, you can download your design as a wallpaper.  You can also share the designs in this flickr stream.

If you want to be in with a chance of being one of the winning designers head over to our umbro.com site for full details. Good Luck!

    Jorge,

    Everyone thinks he will win :)

    Me too, quite pleased with:

    I am sure someone must have done something similar (after all there are already some 3,000 entries). I had the idea of a barefoot photo and I saw that someone had already uploaded it.

    Did you know Michael Owen likes horses (he owns race horses) ?

    So I uploaded a design with a horse.
    Of course, best it would have been to use a photo of Michael’s favourite horse.

    This would have been a sure winner as Michael for would have voted it :)

    Suggestion:
    Follow-up exhibition with best 300 designs
    ‘Umbro Art’ or ’129 artists nobody knew about it’
    Auction to sell the designs (actually Umbro pairs that will be made with the respective designs).
    Funds to be donated to a charity.
