A series of different companies teamed up to create the Made in Manchester campaign to promote the city of Manchester to the Swedish public. Among the contests and promotions within the site are a sneaker design competition with New Balance and Swedish sneaker retailer sneakersnstuff. The interface allows for the customization of the 576 model with a wealth of different color options enabling a true creative experience. The winning submission will win a trip to visit the legendary Flimby factory in Manchester to see their design come to fruition. Unfortunately, this contest is open only to Swedish residents but anyone can still play around with designing your own 576 model.
