Music streaming service Deezer gave UK singer songwriter Zak Abel, and artist Daniel Cordas, the challenge to create custom trainer designs based on their personal interpretations of Zak’s single, ‘Love Song’. Additionally, a special pair of trainers was made featuring graphics based on the musical inspirations of both artists. Fans will have the opportunity to win a pair of the limited edition shoes.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Global streaming service Deezer has collaborated with Zak and Daniel on three pairs of trainers. Trainer culture and music have always been closely connected, so the concept of ‘Music With Sole’, sets out to bring to life the way each artist feels when listening to the same track.<\/div>\n

For the first pair of trainers, Zak revealed to Daniel that ‘Love Song’ signified a \u2018positive\u2019 relationship break up and his attempt to regain control of his life. The trainers are emblazoned with warm red, pink, blue and orange hues to indicate the sun setting on the end of this relationship. Representing taking steps apart, one hand is seen on the back of each shoe. They can only touch when both trainers are pressed together, an unlikely scenario when wearing them.<\/div>\n

Trainers number 2 were designed with Daniel’s interpretation of ‘Love Song’. When Daniel listened to ‘Love Song’ he felt both resentment and relief. He represented the lyrics “throwing pebbles in the ocean” by a deep blue sea cordoned off by yellow tape, signifying the toxic relationship he detected. Daniel also played with the metaphor of Zak burning bridges with an ex, using an image of a bridge on fire and the trainer\u2019s “singed” look, which he created with a lighter.<\/div>\n

The third pair of trainers <\/span><\/b>designed by Daniel represent the musical journey that gets both artists into their “flow”. For Zak, it\u2019s how he finds his musical mindset with his favourite Motown artists. For Daniel it’s the tracks he listens to get inspired to create his best work.
