Publisher's Synopsis
Maybe you've wondered how a shoe is made. Maybe you have an art class assignment you're struggling with. Maybe you're a bored sneakerhead in desperate need of something different. Mike Leavitt is here to the rescue. "Corrugated Kix" is his long-running series of cardboard shoes he's constructed and exhibited for over 15 years. This book - a detailed Chuck Taylor tutorial - is the first publication of a project, started in 2006, that's aimed not only at environmental sustainability and consumer satire. It's a hands-on, DIY approach that, with a motivational focus on confidence-building throughout the book, Leavitt sincerely hopes to impart with this intensive detailing of his cardboard shoe construction process. Over 60 detailed images and 80 pages of instruction illuminate each papercraft cobbling procedure along the way. Whether your interest is art, design, craft or fashion, this is a step by step process sure to lighten your feet.
