Japanese artist Kosuke Sugimoto, better known as Shoetree<\/strong>, has reimagined some iconic Nike and Jordan silhouettes as homes for plants with a botanical sneaker.<\/p>\n

The “Justification for Deterioration” pop-up is now open to the pubic at\u00a0Harajuku\u2019s Ciaopanic boutique. Whether a grail or an old beater, the pop-up brings new life into an old sneaker by becoming part of the plant rather than a placeholder for it.<\/p>\n
