This is Bonkers – a Shoe Made From Recycled Cell Phone Parts?!

 

Earth Preservers has seen a lot of great eco-art made by students using recycled parts and materials. But this sneaker made from recycled cell-phone parts may be the best we’ve ever seen (so far).

Just look at it. As captured by a photographer from the Tampa Bay Times in Florida, it really does look like a regular sneaker – until you look closely and see that every piece looks kind of metallic.

 If anybody at Nike or Reebok is reading this story, they really should test the sneaker’s look with a group of young people. We wouldn’t be surprised if a real sneaker that looks like it was made from recycled cell-phone parts was very popular.

To learn more, read the Tampa Bay Times story.
