There is in Brooklyn (New York) a collaborative workspace of designers, illustrators, bloggers, writers, and developers. It’s called Studiomates and Studiomates and Raul Gutiérrez, also known as “the mexican”, is one of them. I love his work!

A few weeks ago I found this wonderful post written by his 4 years old son, saying:

My 4 Year Old On What Makes a Good Shoe
1. “They should be fast.”
2. “They should have something on them. Something pretty cool like rocket boosters or fire or bush babies or something.”
3. “Maybe they should glow in the dark so you can see them when it is night… or you could have a light on them and a remote control.”
4. “They should be faster than regular shoes.”
5. “When your feet are in them, your legs should be really fast.”
6. “They should not make sounds when you walk. I like to scare people.”
7. “You have to make sure they are fast shoes. SUPER FAST!”
8. “They should be soft.”
9. “They should never smell like feet.”
10. “When you run in fast shoes you should always win.”
How incredibly inspiring may be the look of a kid!

prácticos! zapatos muy prácticos para esta vida de acción! Desde muy pequeños los niños lo sienten. Pero ¿habrá en la mente de este niño tambien espacio para experimentar y disfrutar la calma, el sosiego, esa “antigua” forma de vida donde se encuentra la verdadera felicidad??!! ¿Encontrará en su camino la oportunidad de desarrollar esa otra parte del cerebro, no tan practica?
Muchas gracias por tu comentario, Mila. Cuánta razón… ¡Se nota tanto cuando una va con un buen calzado! Por lo que dices de los niños, ¡espero que sí…! Vivir creativamente es… ¡tan chulo! Que tengas un buen finde.
