The dudes from Sole Collector went to Pony to work on some shoes—some pretty fresh shoes. If you ask me, with the team they’ve put together, Pony is poised to make some big moves. (I’ll take a pair of the black and blue bruisers below.)

Kyle Pulli, who’s designed the adidas TMac V & VI, as well as the entire adidas KG line and the latest adidas TS sneakers, heads up the direction for Pony design now. My good friend Chad Little, who was featured as the Focus:Artist in our Issue 14 way back during his college days, is now working as a jack of all trades designer working across several categories like cleated, apparel, hoops and more. So basically these guys put in work.
