05 STOPRS

SHOES DON’T LAST FOREVER, BUT THEY CERTAINLY LAST LONGER THAN WE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR. FASHION’S FLEETING TRENDS PUSH US TO BUY WHAT’S NEW, LEAVING OUR ONCE-LOVED SHOES TO BE FORGOTTEN, COLLECTING DUST IN CLOSETS AND OR TO BE THROWN AWAY ENTIRELY. EACH YEAR, 23 BILLION PAIRS OF SHOES ARE PRODUCED, WITH 22 BILLION ENDING UP IN LANDFILLS.

MEET STOPRS, A FUSION OF CREATIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY. GABBY ORFANOS AND I TRANSFORM AND RESTORE WORN, ‘RETIRED’ SNEAKERS INTO UNIQUE HOME DOORSTOPS. INSTEAD OF LETTING THESE SHOES GO TO WASTE, WE PRESERVE THEIR STORIES IN A NEW FORM BY CAREFULLY FILLING EACH SHOE WITH CEMENT, TURNING FLEETING TRENDS INTO PERMANENT FIXTURES FOR THE HOME.
