Rex Parker, crossword puzzle solver and vintage paperback book collector, sent to me this photo of a map on a Nike shoe:That prompted me to seek out more info... instead, what I found were additional examples of maps on Nike shoes.
From MyFirstAirShoes.com:
From SlamJump.com.
See previous examples of map shoes:
The Tennessee Representa and Jennifer Collier's map shoe sculpture.
Also, while searching for map shoe information, I was reminded of this amusing, yet environmentally tragic story the cargo ship full of Nike products that accidentally dumped in the North Pacific back in 1999. Shoes and other flotsam were washing up on British Columbian beaches for years.More recently, there have been grisly stories of Nike (and other) shoes, with feet still in them, washing up in BC.
