Greetings from the critique club! Great shoe. I wish they'd had these during my converse days - my favorite pair had each panel a different color, though, which was cool.
Pros:
The colors are working for you, and you've captured them well. I like the general idea of the composition (abstracting the shoe by cropping part of it) but I do agree with those who suggest you change the angle a bit and definately keep the top of the shoe - it feels crowded.
Cons:
The biggest is your lighting; it's quite harsh and flat. If you could diffuse it somehow and/or add additional lights from the sides I think you'd have a much stronger shot; as it is the shadows on the background are quite distracting and the shoe lacks depth.
The Challenge:
You were concerned about meeting the challenge, but some of these are so open ended that I think people are pretty interested in different interpretations; from my perspective anyway you met the challenge just fine.
Overall I'd try to soften your lighting try taking your shots from a bunch of different angles, to see if you can find something that pops a little more. |

| GREAT shoes and I really love the color! Maybe just a tad awkward compositionally - kinda feels a bit off balance to me, but I'm an anal retentive engineer. :-) Either straight, or a stronger angle, perhaps? Or maybe just a bit more breathing room at the top. And I want a pair... |

| Cropped just a little too much at the top, need to see tip. A very light grey background might help to set the colourful sneaker of better. |

| Well taken, but I doubt it'll score extremely well because it doesn't have a "wow factor" (something that makes the viewer go wow! (like if was a stop action shot of this splashing in a puddle). That being said, I like the simplicity of this shot. |
