By these two videos alone we can see that he does this kind of stuff for a while now and is good at it. We can observe his experience both in his shoe making skills as well as his editing skills. He also perfectly presents strugles durring the process and by thatencourages other people to get into his hobby by showing that even most experienced people can stumble uppon a some kind of a creative barier. Marco also shows that with practice and dedication you can gain recognision not only by your fans but also by people you look or looked up to.
He's very interesting person and by that he manages to turn video-essays that in my opinion are worst form of youtube video to attract people that aren't already interested in your craft to something that is pleasent to watch.
I hope hewill keep it up and will continue to share the results of his work with us.

In the second video, it was a concept where an artist was hired by MLB player (Mookie Betts)to come up with a special design. I thought it was really awesome how the artist was able to make the shoe based on his own idea,but still tie it into the idea of baseball. The level of detail spent on the shoes by the artist, and the entire concept of the collaboration was really amazing. Both videos pulled me in and provided me with a lot of cool ideas. I thought they both showed how sport, fashion and art can be combined in cool and interesting ways. I found both videos engaging and enjoyable as someone who loves streetwear and football, however,I found them to also be inspiring, and I look forward to finding more of these kinds of videos.

In My opiniom he does something raeally unique design that match perfectly the description. He makes sure that every detail is perfectly done and made the way he wants it. One of my favourite pair of shoes were made out of Mike Tyson's boxing glove. Marco by doing what he love exspresses ges feeling and makes praktycznie good amount of money.I would love to see something more of his ideas.

I myself am not a shoe person so I wear whatever’s comfortable for me, but his designs are really nice and I would seriously consider wearing them. Marko is a perfectionist, because there’s not a speck of sloppiness in his work, and that’s a good thing considering his products are given to quite popular people. The videos on his channel excellently represent the thinking process of an artist coming up with ideas on the fly helping viewers understand, why design takes so long in the first place.
As for specifics on the given videos, the baseball one has nice editing, funny out of context clips and is overall enjoyable to watch, glad Betts accepted the shoes, although quite awkwardly he manages to show them on tv also wearing a stylish fit to the mix.
The second video somewhat hurt me in a way that I didn’t quite expect, despite my lack of interest in sports I couldn’t understand cutting up a football/basketball for a shoe, even more so with signatures of famous players mainly because you can buy basketball fabric online. I suppose it’s a great video idea to attract more people but comparing these shoes to the baseball ones I can’t help but disagree with this video. Keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and I am not targeting Marko or anyone in particular, I just disagree with the idea of destroying signatured property.
Overall, I really respect Marko’s creativity and the effort he puts into his videos, though the latter just didn’t click with me. He’s a solid creator, but not quite at the top.
