Blazer Pentium 1.0 – Upcycled Kicks

Artist Gabriel Deshaw created this pair of Jordans – which he calls ‘Blazer Pentium 1.0‘ – by ‘upcycling’ scrapped metal and computer parts. Currently up for sale, they’re a men’s size 9.5 – but weigh in at about 15 pounds. I don’t think you’ll be breakin’ any ankles, other than you your own, while rocking these – but they’re still kind of dope.
This sculpture is part of a shoes series I’m currently working where I revisit some of my favorite classic sneakers silhouettes. With this piece I again tried to create a complete piece with both box and shoe notice some of the details, shoes lock down inside of box for easy portability, I also tied this piece around a theme,”Pentium”, the name of Intel’s chips. You will notice this repeated through out the shoes, and box (via).
