Kiwi, “Shopping tip: You can get shoes for 85 cents at the bowling alley”


“Lets odours out.”
So they take some shoes invert them inside out and dirty them up a bit. Than strategically toss them somewhere and light them. Actually I really like the lighting. Sharp, a little hard and quite real. Not too bad for a still life ad shots.
By the way does being inverted means smelling bad? Do you thing average person will spot the shoes have been inverted? Can the ad be a little too subtle or am I just blind?

Well – I’m an average person and I didn’t notice the shoes were inverted until I read what you wrote and took another look. Makes the ad more interesting now that I see it for all it has to offer. I think by inverting the shoes it does make you think they smell really bad. Cool idea!

I also didn’t notice that they were inverted at a glance, which made me wonder how this was original in any way until I read that they were inverted.
