Rising Star: The ALPHAPROJECT aka Jason Petrie
1st, must say thx NT member, STORM RYDER to make this great post, The ALPHAPROJECT (aka. Jason Petrie) Appreciation Post!! http://niketalk.yuku.com/topic/134454
STORM RYDER wrote:Many of you know his story. One of NT's own but not one of the up and coming designers in the industry anymore, this guy has arrived and is established but still has a great future. I think eventually, he can be on that level with guys like Aaron Cooper and Eric Avar. His concepts have "wow'ed" NikeTalk for years, and from his first few sneakers with Fila to his latest creations with Nike, he continues to wow us and give us aesthetically pleasing , forward thinking performance products with his own signature flair.

Nike Air Force S.T.A.T:
One of the best Air Max shoes in years. Details on this shoe are off the hook. My highlights include the outsoles ("airmax" on the right and "STAT" on the left), the old school "FORCE" style "STAT" logo on the tongue, on the medial side heel above the air bubble the right shoe says "25.0 PSI" and the left says "610.245" just a GREAT detail on the shoe.
Nike Air Force STAT II:
I think Jason was a bit constrained on this shoe by having to use the Air Max 360 BB midsole/outsole combo but the upper details are very nice.
Nike Flight Windmill:
Very very lightweight shoe. Zoom Air heel is responsive, but only uses phylon in the forefoot. Laces were too thin and contributed to sub-par fit. Grip is phenomenal due to the unique outsole design. Outsole writing says "Nike Flight Systems . Two Thousand and Eight" a great touch and definitely "Alphaproject"
A few more shoes that I suspect Petrie had a hand in: Nike Zoom Sharkley Nike Barwin
Please feel free to add any pictures of your favorite Alphaproject (aka. Jason Petrie) designed shoes or if you have any corrections please add.

One thing I noticed...Possibly his most famous shoe was the AJ1..Where he made it for today's standards... Its almost like Nike assigned him this task with projects...The huarache 09'....The Barwin/Sharkley..Even the STATS with the inspiration from Barkleys...He is def. the best at it...a true pioneer...

Just a minor one:
The first two colorways had the Force logo on the tongue. The second two had the AS1 logo.
