This is one of my first System-based MOCs. It's based off of one of my own running shoes.

It is currently at BrickFair 2012, and it's nominated for Best Sculpture, so if you are able to vote for it, please vote for my shoe!

Looks great! I like the way you captured the shoe's form. Can you wear it?

I wish! I designed it to be the same size as my shoe, which is a 7.5. Unfortunately, the entire front toe part is solid LEGO, because it kept collapsing, but in theory, if the toe was hollow, it could be worn.

Wonderful sculpting, and the smooth colored lines are amazing as they can be quite difficult to pull off. How did you plan it out?

I noticed this yesterday! It was quite cool. I didn't know there was any voting to be done, though. I love how the front curves up.

Very good! Did it win?

Nice job man. Keep it up. You planning on doing any other shoes?

I kind of just looked at the shoe and built what I saw, and then realized I didn't have enough red plates and would have to stop and hope that I could dig up some more.

It did not. Though, the fact that it was nominated at the most successful U.S. LEGO convention that is known for always having an abundance phenomenal MOCs was pretty sweet.

Probably. While the shoe this one was based on has a very plain design, athletic shoes are really interesting in their designs and the curves that are on them, and being a runner myself makes it kind of fun. I need to get more pieces though, before I do anything. I would like to venture more into LEGO sculpture work for sure. I didn't even really consider this a sculpture, and had registered it as "other", so having it be nominated for best sculpture put it in a pretty cool perspective of what I could do.

I never thought I'd see a Lego shoe, but it turned out very well. You ought to put up a picture of the real one next to it for comparison.

That is a beautiful MOC. It's very nicely done, the shaping is fantastic, the lines are distinct and smooth. I don't much care for Nike, but you have created a great incentive. You should send some stuff in for Bricks Cascade next year.

Or do commissions. 9.9/10
