RYZ Sneaker Design Contest

Our designs are created by artists, DJs, poets, students, dreamers, doers and other unique individuals like you. But that doesn't stop them from achieving design immortality – or sharing in the profit, each winner receives $1000 + $1 for every pair we sell online.

We'll post the design entries online and let our community decide what’s hot and what’s not. The design that receives the most votes wins. It’s produced and sold to adoring fans from around the world. Bragging rights and a share of the profits included.

Yes, this is a popularity contest – and like all democracies, participation is important. So download your template, create your design, then tell everybody you know to vote early and often. And may you RYZ to the occasion.
