AirPlane Yeezy

the AirPlane Yeezy is crafted using the raw components of the Nike Air Yeezy shoe originally designed for Kanye West. the piece is assembled with glue, screws, craft wire, and shoe laces. i tried to maintain the integrity of the individual pieces as much as possible which ultimately lead to it's unique styling.

the stand is a beautiful piece of ebonized walnut with spring wire and was created specially for this project by DJL Studio.

both the body and the runway dots glow in the dark.

Doernbecher Sneaker Art

these pieces were created specially for auction to benefit the Doernbecher Children's Hospital at OHSU in Portland Oregon. each piece used a single pair of shoes that were designed by one of six Doernbecher patients alongside their Nike designer counterpart. each wall piece utilized the components in their raw form in effort to highlight the uniqueness of the individual shoes.

the pictures in the corners of the pieces are the kids who designed the shoes as well as their original sketches. these photos were taken before they were framed in shadowboxes to remove any glare that might occur. dimensions are 3' x 2'
