Gabriel Dishaw, a junk-metal genius, turns trash into artwork. This is Dishaw's newest piece, titled "Blazer Pentium 1.0" as it's mainly composed of Intel parts.
The carrying case features a blood-red lining, which is a continuation of Dishaw's Frankenstein theme. The inside of the lid includes a traditional Nike diagram laid on top of a circuit board.
The "Frankenstein Terminators" were inspired by the Nike High Terminators, with a Frankenstein twist. These kicks weigh 8 pounds and took a month to complete.
Although these shoes will most likely be on display, Dishaw fashioned carrying cases for all his shoe sculptures. They're an interpretation of a shoe box and the shoes even lock down inside to prevent damage.
The shoe sculptures are very detailed, and include branding, tags, and faux manufacturer labels. Dishaw found an unusual, red motherboard to cut out a label and create the signature Nike swoosh.
The "Junk Dunk" is Dishaw's first all-scrap piece. His first attempt at the Junk Dunk was based on a rubber sole that he (gasp!) cut from his own shoe. In this second version, Dishaw used minimal wiring, focusing on his bending techniques and use of glue.
