When I was thinking about what else I can build out of adidas Superstar shoe (set 10282) I've got such ideas like space shuttle, Moby Dick (white whale), toilet, dog, panda but none of them have any connection with original model of shoe. Maybe only imperial "Superstar" destroyer took part of its name... ...then I've got it! I remembered 90's when I was going to Vietnamese marketplaces with my parents to buy clothes. It was right after collapse of iron courtain and we finally got western goods so we were able to buy branded clothes, shoes, electronics and so on in Czech Republic. I can remember that original adidas T-shirt costed about 1500 Czech crowns and it was much money if you take account of average monthly salary being about 10000 Czech crowns. So who couldn't afford it looked for cheaper alternatives in Vietnamese marketplaces. You could buy similar T-shirt for 300 crowns there. Of course it was not original but fake with better or worse quality. And there were those vendors who were trying to sell you their goods with minimum knowledge of Czech language so you could hear something like: Vendor: "Sir, sir, buy T-shirt adidas, quality very well!" Customer: "But it has four stripes instead of three!?" Vendor: "More stripes, more adidas!" Remembering phrase "more stripes, more adidas" I've built zebra which is definitely more adidas than original shoe! It is static model (same as original shoe) and only moving part is its tail. Even though proportions are little bit cartoonish (big head, small body, thick legs) it is very cute and recognizable. The best part of model is head. I used little bit of SNOT techniques to build snout that even features nostrils, 1x1 quarter tiles make cool eyes and mane is connected by ball joints and hinges. It could be better if it had more stripes but amount of black parts is very limited in donor set. Building instructions will be available soon.

[MOC] My kind of Sneakers.

My kind of Sneakers by 0937 Superfan, no Flickr 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? -
