Add sneaker string sculptures to the long list of art objects surrounding the world of footwear, which already includes sneaker lamps and LEGO sneakers.

Sole Stitches, whose work is seen here, transfers shoes to string with a pretty impressive level of detail. The silhouettes start with a rough outline of nails on a board and are filled in using different colored strings for different sections.

Pictured here are string recreations of sought-after shoes like the Fragment x Air Jordan 1 and the "Nerf" Nike KD 4.
