Eco Factor: Artist creates shoe replicas from discarded computer chips.

American artist Gabriel Dishaw knows about the growing problem of e-waste and isn’t just sitting around and wondering about the consequences. The eco-conscious artist is rather finding solutions in pieces of art in the form of shoe replicas that are created entirely from discarded computer chips, bolts, wire and circuit boards.

The latest design of Dishaw is classic Blazer that like its elder brothers is created entirely out of waste. The design has followed a different approach by selecting two colors for each side of the shoe and incorporated a great blue color pop for the swoosh and other ascents. While we don’t recommend your kid wearing one of these, the shoes are definitely worth exhibiting in your living room.
