Shoe Porn: Mita Shinti's Melted Sneaker Sculptures

1 comment

In Tenki, his latest installation at Gallery Speak For in Shibuya, Japanese artist Mita Shinti created what may be the highest form of shoe porn. Here's what you can do with a couple hundred pairs of stark white Nike Dunks (and a whole lotta talent).

Have you ever wondered what a sneakerhead would look like, mounted on a wall? Yeah. Yup.

Way less crual than taxidermy - and it looks really cool!

The exhibit's theme? Continuity.

In addition to these mad cool scluptures, the gallery had a few series of photographs on display.

If you could pick a King and Queen of famous sneakerheads, who would they be? Hmmm!

Here's a closer look at how beautifully crafted the pieces are...
