Inspired by my friend Freehand Profit’s work of using sneakers as the base material to create masks, I wanted to create an actual figure out of a pair of sneakers, since I am a fan of the vinyl toy scene. I came across this replica pair of Bape sneakers and figured they would be perfect to use in my initial attempt. I am naming these characters “Sneakeys”. Here is "Meelo", who stands at over 12" tall.
