Inspired by the legendary paper sneaker maker Shin Tanaka, I decided to try my hand at making some paper dunks. Tell me what you think.

Updated.(part two)

New stuff

Adidas Shelltoe (If you're wondering why purple, it's cause that's the only color i had left)





And now for the main event.
Grape Colorway + Jordan IV









I used Coloring pencil (yeah, the coloring sucks) but the project itself was overall good. took more than 5 hours to draw out pieces, and put them together. the hardest part was the toebox. as you can see in the pics, it's not as well done as the other's.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated(as of 09/08/07). Probably the best one yet.






Patent Swoosh



Huge Size Tag



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Shit(09/10/07). Probably not gonna do another one for a while cause i got other shit to do. This is what the Jordan dunks should really look like. This is the nicest looking one ive made so far. I'm starting to tag my pics now because my shit is showing up on lots of sites.

Air Jordan IV Cement + Nike Dunk High










---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated.(october 1) First time in a while
This one was a nice idea, but wasn't put together too well.








---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I actually think I may have gotten worse just recently. maybe it's cause i've been making too many dunks recently.

New Shit(october 5):


Yeah I know i fucked up

[MaZeRoCks]

very creative indeed

[AG DOOM]

haha those are pretty dope. nice work

[pathsu007]

wow! how long did it take u to do that, looks very cool!

[bridgener]

man that's awesome! what kind of paper did you use for the laces? must have been damn long or something.

[supremesb1223]

Very cool and creative, I know its paper and I know its hard but try to make it so the toeboxs aren't as boxy and line up with the sole

[mrh]

lol theyre alot better than what i was expecting. theyre pretty dope!

I haven't mastered making the toebox upper yet. I don't know how to make the curve properly. It took me bout 3-5 hours (one night, and the morning after). Don't worry, i DID sleep during this project. I didn't even have planning for it. I jus drew out shapes on white printer paper, glued them to construction paper to add support, then glued them together. I still need to know how to make a sole that curves. After that, I will have mastered the paper sneaker game lol.

definately make a pair that you can rock. (im assuming that you cant rock these ones)

yeah. these is too small. And besides, I don't have big enough paper to make big enough pieces.

[cantstopthecrooks[wrs]]

looks like a lot of effort put into this. good job!

[elwoodgotsole]

if you want to make a better one, then read the stenciling guide in the pinned topics(mine) and stencil a shoe out. then you read the one-skin guide(just how to put it together) and try doing this again and you shouldnt have a problem with the toe box, make some more man ;]
