System customised Nike Cortez sneakers and box
I started with Nike Cortez Classic (size 10 so too big for me unfortunatly)
Used multiple paint layers scratched off to look aged. The idea with the layers is that if the shoes were worn, the paint would peel and crack off and look 'aged' faster.
Added real antique calligraphy book pages to the main body and drew characters on the heels. Japanese print style clouds for the insides of the shoe in place of the Nike swoops.
Made a shoe box with the same layered technique to match the colour scheme. As I had made a stencil for the front of the box I added the test print signed for the inside of the lid. Didnt want it blank when you opened the box. The System stencil on the sides of the box are supposed to be like the traditional Calligraphers 'hanko' stamps.
