In this example, the shoe, which is the Nike Air Force 1, shows a great example of contrast. This shoe was designed to be part of the Live Strong campaign which explains the use of the color yellow. The black used works great with contrast to make certain areas of design pop-out. The laser-cut designs are precise and show the story of the shoe. The shoe shows art from Mister Cartoon, a Los Angeles tattoo artist. All the designs shown with the contrasting yellow and black are all traditional of the style of Mister Cartoon and is placed all around the shoe tying everything together.

This would be a poor use of contrast on the same model of the shoe above. This would be a black on black design, except for the difference of fabric and texture which does contrast which each other. There are dull and shiny parts of the shoe which shows the design that is all over the shoe. However, you cannot tell exactly what is going on here. The design can be seen with proper lighting, however it is still very hard to configure the design. The texture of the different parts of the shoe as well as the design lead you to be lost in finding their inspiration or goal for the shoe.
