Nike Air Force 1

PUMA – First Round – urban paper sneaker

I always wanted to do a papertoy sneaker. The bad thing is that a few papertoy designers did this before me.

Shin Tanaka – Onitsuka Tiger (Mexico 66) / Nike Air Force 1 / Nike AF-1 / read more on this blog
PHIL – AIR CUBE FORCE 1 / AIR YEEZY TRIBUTE
DMC – Vans Era
David Brownings – Nike / Nike

And I don’t want to do something that someone else already did before me. So no urban paper sneaker for me…. Till my girl bought a pair of PUMA sneakers: they are awesome!

So I just googled a little bit about for limited edition PUMA sneaker and it convinced me to do a papertoy PUMA sneaker.

My urban paper PUMA sneaker is loosely based upon PUMA First Round model (check the online shoe customizer: PUMA MONGOLIAN SHOE BBQ)

The blank template:

My own design:

I don’t have the templates ready for publising, so you have to wait for that a little bit.
(or ask leave a comment so I can send what I have now)

Perhaps in the future I will make the model more detailed!

I don’t have to mention that the PUMA logo is not mine, right?

Urban papercraft: Shin Tanaka (part 4) – Sneakers

I read in an article about Shin Tanaka that he started creating paper models and templates for all his favorite sneakers he couldn’t afford when he was a student…
We seem to like the same sneakers!

Nike

One of my favorite Nike is create in paper by Shin: the Nike Air Force 1 is created by Shin in paper and can be found on the internet:

Update #1: The internet is always changing, so some links are no longer available. I found the template somewhere else: http://www.instructables.com/file/FUURPWYFM2KBS4W/

And the Nike AF-1 can be found here:

(or download the Nike AF-1 here (.PDF))

Shin has even had an exhibition with these sneakers:

Onitsuka Tiger

Shin also worked together with Onitsuka Tiger and created a template for
Onitsuka Tiger – Mexico66.

You can create your own Mexico66: just download the blank version here: Onitsuka Tiger – Mexico66 (.PDF).

This project has it’s own Flash site: http://shin.onitsukatiger.co.uk/.
And you can send in your customs on the same site.
