More looks at the Michael Lau x Nike SB Stefan Janoski for Gardener 10th after the jump.

Inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey the Gardner "2bb1" is a departure from Michael Lau’s typical action sports inspired work. The figure wears, obviously, an astronauts get up. No word on the release as a one off or a series. (via crazytoyz).

Above you see the selection of hand made 1:6 scale Jordans made by Michael Lau at 2006’s Gardener Meets Nike exhibition. The shoes coincide with a large scale handmade Gardener model in honor of Michael Jordan. This work has not yet been pulled into production, but one can’t really imagine that the result wouldn’t galvanize a good deal of interest. (Via Crazy Toyz).
