A graduate of the highly esteemed Central Saint Martins school of fashion and design, London based designer Vinti Andrews has garnered a huge amount of attention for her unique re-constructionist approach to fashion. Her most famous work has come from extensive collaborations with sports brand Nike, including 2008’s Vinti x Windrunner series (pictured below), but it’s Andrews’ latest project that’s bringing her beautifully eccentric style to the art mainstream.
The Nike Dog range features a series of beautifully made sculptures of five different dogs, each lovingly crafted using parts from some of Nike’s most iconic designs; with Sky Force ’88’s, Air Max 90’s and Dunk Low’s all featuring in their original early 90’s colour-ways.
The dogs are currently available through Japanese lifestyle site Beams for a cool $4,500 each. Check their page here for more information.
Each of the five dog sculptures encapsulate everything that make the original trainer designs great; the Sky Force’s black and white lining texture, the Dunk Low’s huge tongues and the Air Max’s legendary clashing colour pallet are all prominent.
Vinti Andrews x Nike Windrunner series
Andrews’ Vinti x Nike Windrunner project perfectly visualised her re-constructionist approach to fashion design. Using familiar 80’s inspired patterns and colours, coupled with an unorthodox choice of materials (largely consisting of 3M tape), Andrews’ Windrunners went on sale to huge critical acclaim. Released exclusively through Hong Kong based fashion store KNIQ, the collection sold out within days of it’s launch, making the Windrunners some of the most sought after Nike products of recent times.
