Amazing sculptures: Sneakers made from scrap worth wearing

We’ve been spectators to all kinds of sculptures made out of scrap. But like us even Nike wouldn’t have thought that shoes could be made in all kinds of scrap. Wires, metal sprockets, nuts, bolts, circuits, just name it and it is there, brought out from the landfill and fixed in for a shoe. Master sculptor… hmm… artist Gabriel Dishaw is the brain behind these unthinkable contraptions.

These sculptures are part of Gabriel’s shoes series the JUNK DUNK, using his favorite classic sneakers silhouettes for base, the lad’s got hold of the art to get the final outcome to be massively detailed and finely done. Nike will be impressed to see their logo on the tongue and the back of these junky sneakers that have all kinds of scrap all over, and the soul of the shoe built from circuit boards.
