Those who own a pair of Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknits know how flexible and versatile the sneaker is, but they’ve never seen the shoe bent into shapes like this before. UK-based graphic designer Chris Labrooy has taken the recognizable sneaker and twisted it into emoji-like shapes, using the shoe’s design elements to represent different icons such as peace sign and “thumbs-up” sneaker-hands, bright blue lips with a white sole for teeth, an emoji heart, and a star that shows off all of the Air Presto Ultra Flyknit motifs.
