Paper tennis shoe gift

Howdy Folks,

A son of a physical therapist friend of mine is well known for painting awesome images
on tennis shoes. Finding a tennis shoe paper model at:

Adidas Paper Sneaker | Paper-Toy.fr

I decided to see how this would turn out as a gift for my friend - the physical therapist.
He happens to be a Sponge Bob fan; finding an Internet Sponge Bob image was
easy and quick. On the other shoe side I put a photo of the therapist downloaded from Face Book.

Printed on Wausau 60 LB Exact Digital Cardstock
Sole reinforced with cardboard from a Cheerios box top.
Shoe laces were cut from 20 Lb letter paper.
Final assembly ( four inches heel to toe) given a protective coat of Krylon clear acrylic spray.

Looks like the same designer has at least one other Sneaker model:

Papercraft Onitsuka Tiger - Mexico 66 | Paper-Toy.fr

Very imaginative.
