Since I start building with LEGO® pieces one of my goals was to design a pair of Sneakers. I hadn't a scale in mind, but with my collection growing up I found out that I had enough pieces to start making a prototype at least. When the set 43179 - Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse came out, I was able to finish my idea because of the Round Corner 3 x 3 x 2 Dome Top - 88293 in yellow ( yes I wanted to build a yellow pair of shoes ).

When I started to search for inspiration and to check how other AFOLs were building their sneakers I found out that one thing that I was not fully fulfil were the shoe laces! So I knew that one thing that I could make a diference from the others was on this part.

My favorite photo is the bottom back point of view. It does show the main part of the MOC but get a little teaser about how everything is assembled.

This is my favorite type of sneakers.
And you? What is yours?

Is this related to the recent LEGO x Adidas shoe design collab?

Don't think so.

But it's interesting that Lego is going back to the themes that almost put them out of business in the early 2000's

I really thought it was inspired by Mickey Mouse when I first saw it. Great use of the black hotdog piece.

Hawt-dawg hot diggety dog!
