JUNK DUNK ART "junk art" –noun sculptural assemblage constructed from discarded materials, as glass, scrap metal, plastic, and wood. Yaw know NIKE does'nt get 2 much play around here. We dig more of the casually sharp exclusives. ..but this automatically qualifies! It's Junk Dunk Art by Gabriel Shaw .and yes, its a real size 9.5 Nike designed after the Nike Dunks mens shoe ..and made from JUNK, The Designer Gabriel Dishaw says: "I used very little wire and more glue to keep the piece more clean, and less bulky. I also added new details, a hinged tongue and nike logo's on both the tongue and back of the shoe. On previous models I used a real nike sole to build of off. With this piece I started from scratch and build the sole from circuit boards". This would be an incredible conversation piece on a book table instead of an actual book. gabrieldishaw.com
