Shoe Art

It might not meet a precise definition of sports business, but with Puma underwriting artist Federico Uribe’s “Human Nature” art installation, it qualifies in my book.

Uribe, who hails from Colombia, but lives in Miami Beach, has created a whole jungle from Puma shoes and shoelaces that have been stitched and melded together. It’s fascinating: colorful and detailed birds, insects, frogs, trees, a giraffe, a zebra, an elephant, an ostrich, a crocodile, a gorilla, a chimpanzee, and yes, even a puma. It’s described as “a jungle with predatory life size animals in action and surrounded by a forest built out of Puma footwear.” Catch a glimpse of the installation by clicking “installations” under “portfolio” at Uribe’s Web site.

The exhibit runs through Aug. 18 at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York.

Nike Air Max is a shoe by the company Nike that was introduced in 1987 as the first example of

Air Max-branded technologies. The Nike Air Max shoe uses a large

air cushioning unit which is visible at the side of the midsole in most models. Especially sought

after models include the 1987, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and to an extent, 2003. The

1993 model was the first to have the fully visible heel Air unit that was visible in the back as

well as on the sides, and the 1995 model was the first to feature visible forefoot Air.
