"Art and Sole" Shoebox and index cards
After thinking what can I do to bring sneaker culture in the outside world, I thought of a simple and more creative idea. Instead of just simply showing images of my favorite sneakers that I made, how about I hear what people's favorite sneakers or shoes instead. Why is it important to learn a persons favorite sneaker or shoe in general? Learning about favorite sneaker or shoe is important because it can reveal aspects of a person's identity, such as their personality, sense of style, and even their social or economic status. Shoes can also be a significant part of subcultures, creating a sense of community and shared identity among enthusiasts who bond over a passion for specific brands, history, or design. This knowledge can be a tool for social connection and deeper understanding. Instead of simply asking what favorite shoe they like, I want to do something a little different. I will grab my own empty shoe box with a bunch of index cards along with a pen. One index card will show a question inside "What is favorite shoe and why?" The way this would work is that I'll be sitting in the middle of the GSUB main floor where it's mostly active with a bunch of students. I will have my empty shoebox in a table with the index cards and a pen on the side. Since the shoebox will be a Jordan box, I believe many students will interested to see whats inside, especially for those who are sneaker heads. Curiosity plays a huge role in this art intervention. This intervention is a little prank since there's no shoe inside and just a empty box. At the same time, I get to read what people's favorite shoes are and see all the different taste when it comes to shoes.
