Recently we presented to you some Nike windrunners re-contructed by designer Vinti Andrews. The next project were two Pitbulls made out of Nike iD sneakers. One of them is at Loveless store in Japan and the other one is in London, and that’s the one we can give you a detailed look at here. Via Joes(a)fiend.

Onitsuka Tiger has released a very interesting model today, rather due to the background story than due to overall aesthetics. For the Spring/Summer 2008 season, Onitsuka Tiger had built a large scale light box sculpture in the form of a sneaker, which was given the look of Tokyo.
The design of the sculpture was now replicated onto the Sunotore 72 sneaker. They present it in a pack of overall three sneakers and it is available now at Ripe.
