ABOUT SMOLUK
“Sneakers addicts accumulate tons of kicks and often don’t wear them at all: shoes are turned into pieces of art. I wanted to represent my collection of kicks in the same way. Additionally, using carton was also a way for me to denounce mass consumption. It usually takes me 20 hours approximately to produce one shoe. All my creations are handmade. Devoted to protecting the environment, I mostly use recycled materials: plastic, raffia or empty boxes.
