Gabriel Dishaw “Frankenstein Terminators” Junk Art

879 days ago - by Alex Kroviak - 3 comments

For sneakerheads, our collections are wearable art. But sometimes it works in reverse, and art collections features shoes. Yesterday we showed you a Shepard Fairey MJ Print, and today we bring you another Nike-inspired piece of art–Gabriel Dishaw’s “Frankenstein Terminators” junk art.

Dishaw is based out of Indiana and specializes in using “junk” like scrap metal and spare computer parts to create sculptures. This is actually his third Nike-related bit of work, and you can check out the other two on his website. The Nike Terminator is a classic high-top silhouette, and Dishaw wanted to, “[...]do it right by making the entire package: from the shoes, to the shoe box, label, diagram and shoe tags.” This sculpture is an incredible piece, and its clear that Dishaw, who is a sneaker fiend himself, did this just right.

Wow, not at all suprised, but great job Gabe!
Gabe and I have been good friends since the 7th grade. He’s truly a gifted and motivated artist and deserves all the exposure and recognition he can get. As mentioned by George Johnson and Jaytwizzi, this is not his only work and you should definitely check out his website and Facebook page! I believe there are links in the article. I hope NIKE does see this and realizes his potential, I can almost guarantee they will and he will likely be contacted in the near future.
And to all those D-bags that posted a bunch of BS, especially that stroke “Feet 1st”, if you’re going to attempt to debate the quality of someone’s work or belittle them, make sure you convey your opinions in an educated manner. Your broken a$$ English got you labeled a straight up douche after your first comment, but the second comment just solidified that impression. Appreciate the art, it’s not a “wearable” shoe, dipsh*t!
