IKEA Bag Nike Dunk Low
Project type
Shoe Making/Pattern Making
Date
2021
Location
Kansas City, KS
In 2021 I started my custom shoe making journey and attempted to make my own pattern for a Nike Dunk Low. I bought a trashed pair of Dunks on eBay, dissected them, and traced my rough draft pattern.
To avoid wasting materials in case the pattern needed adjustments, I decided to use IKEA bags as my source material. It created both a unique concept and only cost me $11-worth of materials.
The upper is composed of the plastic IKEA shopping bag, and IKEA canvas tote bags that were dyed blue, with the IKEA shopping bag woven handle stitched down the tongue.
