last Saturday was the Doernbecher auction over at Wieden & Kennedy and the SOLE men and I were there to help out and hopefully raise some money to save some lives. in addition to the awesome shoes that the kids and Nike designers created – which we’re totally rad  - i crafted 6 wall pieces out of the materials from each shoe.

with each piece, i had one pair of shoes to work with. that’s it. no mistakes. no second chances. nothing. while i didn’t use every single piece, i tried to use as much of the shoe as possible as well as maintaining the integrity of the individual shapes themselves. the only thing i cut was a little off the sole so that they could lay flat enough for them to be glued down.

here are some images of the pieces i created for this year’s auction. unfortunately, these were shot before framing – fortunately, i actually could get some detailed shots before the glass and the glare… stay tuned for pics of what i created with the yeezy…
