Nice footwork! This football-themed creation is just one of the weird and wonderful shoes on display in Barcelona
I really like some of the work in the following pictures.
Usually we see people aplly "2D" modification to the shoes as to sketch, paint, spray etc on the shoes. In the following pictures, you can see that many modification is like "3D", the surface of the shoes is no longer just a drawing board but a soccer field,the road, it even represent in a way as a sculpture.

Shoe Phone
Made by Columbia Telecom in 1987. The phone has a mute button, redial button, and a switch for tone or pulse dialing. These are not cordless phones. They all come with proper cords.
