Upcycled Sculpture Modeled after the Adidas NMD Runner
Explore the inspiration and process behind this piece.
The Adidas NMD Runner arrived in early 2016 and immediately became one of the most sought-after sneakers in streetwear — a shoe that sold out within minutes, defined an era, and made Adidas' Boost sole technology a cultural phenomenon. Digital NMD Runner was completed in February 2016, the same month the shoe launched, reinterpreting the modern classic through upcycled circuit boards, RAM, data cables, wire, rivets, and braided steel wire — transforming electronic components into a physical record of innovation and environmental awareness.
The NMD's distinctive EVA midsole plugs translate remarkably into the language of e-waste, with the shoe's modular construction mirroring the assembled logic of circuit board art.
Materials: Circuit boards; RAM; data cables; wire; rivets; braided steel wire.
Dimensions: 6.5"H × 4.5"W × 13"D — Men's 11.0 shoe size
Edition: Limited Edition 1 of 1 — signed with certificate of authenticity
