Nike Air Yeezy Art “AirPlane Yeezy” by Krupky
October 4, 2009 | Category: Air Yeezy | Author: John
New media artist Krupky, who created several pieces of sneaker art for the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, has deconstructed the black and pink Nike Air Yeezy sneaker and turned it into a work of art titled, “AirPlane Yeezy”. At first glance, your typical sneaker head and shoe collector may cringe at the sight of the Air Yeezy’s components removed from its sneaker mold. But with a more careful eye and open mind, one can only stand in amazement at Krupky’s creation. After deconstruction, Krupky assembled the Air Yeezy with glue and screws, and attached it to a craft wire by using the Yeezy’s original shoe laces. The entire piece stands on wood made of ebonized walnut with spring wire, which includes runway dots that glow in the dark; a perfect complement to the Air Yeezy’s glow in the dark sole.
