The Nike 78 Project Gives Artists Free Reign Over Shoe Redesign

Recently on Trend Hunter, I wrote about a fish bowl shaped like a Nike shoe. It was the first image released from the Nike 78 Project. Well, the project's online gallery is now up and running and it is flooded with super cool artistic interpretations of the iconic shoes.

It's like a sneaker science lab gone crazy. There are Nikes made of cake, face masks made out of destroyed running shoes and a cross trainer pin cushion. The Nike 78 Project is definitely something to be seen.
