'Sneaker Homie,' a footwear brand that specializes in customizations, recently set its sights on a model from ACRONYM and Nikelab that's been highly anticipated -- which it transformed to be a ceramic porcelain vase.
Artfully adapting the design on the sneaker's upper, as well as the icy blue and white colorway, the piece is complementary to the home aesthetic of hardcore collectors. The ceramic porcelain vase gets everything just right -- down to the intricacies of the laces, to the branding on the side and the textures of the fabric.
The top of the sneaker is left open, allowing it to hold a vast variety of flower stems. Despite the likelihood of the ceramic porcelain vase being popular among consumers, Sneaker Homie has yet to reveal if it will put up the unique piece of homeware for purchase.
