Mike Leavitt’s Carboard Shoes - Josh Spear, Trendspotting

Give him some recycled cardboard, paper bag, along with some glue and acrylic paint, and artist Mike Leavitt could create just about anything, including the replica sneakers above.

You can pop by the Fuse Gallery at 93 Second Avenue in NYC to see them.

Via Arrested Motion (with an interview with Mike there as well)… Hat Tip to Amber!

These are great!! lol!!

I wish I could wear ‘em!!

Not sure how eco glue and acrylic paints are, though, hmm?

But they look FAB!!
And hope more people can get encouraged to recycle this way!
