Hand-Crafted Wooden Sneakers

Arnolad Zpadaz Has Crafted a Pair of Wooden Air Jordan Sneakers

— September 20, 2013 — Art & Design
Sneaker fanatics will enjoy this pair of wooden Air Jordan sneakers created by Arnolad Zpadaz from Mexico. This replica wooden sneaker would make the perfect substitution to displaying your actual kicks.

This specific Air Jordan sneaker is of the Air Jordan III model. Zpadaz successfully replicates the original down to the subtle details: embossed elephant print heel and toe cap, popped out stars on the outsole toe area, red eyelets, perforated holes, air unit and much more. Other subtle details like stitching show how dedicate Zpadaz was with his craftsmanship. What's more is that he even included Air Jordan tags and carved out a wooden Air Jordan box complete with faux barcode.

The craftsmanship on this piece is amazing and would serve a truly original piece for sneakerheads.
