Who would of thought of recycling skateboards to make stylish and colorful women's shoes?Kris Lovett that's who.
Former University of Arts student, Kris has successfully combined his love for skateboarding with his love for the ladies, by transforming used skateboards into shoes with his new project titled RePly
Over 100,000 decks are produced per month in the United States alone, that means thousands of used decks get dumped. RePly explores this material waste stream as a resource for women's shoes. By utilizing the overall shape and material properties found within the deck, the women's shoe takes on an interesting aesthetic quality. This project is also a reapplication of waste skateboard decks in an unexpected way. By taking a movement-based leisure product mainly utilized by males, a creative method of reuse is reapplied to a movement-based market for Eco-conscious women.
