It was painted for the "Little Creatures Hops & Hoops event" in November 2015, on the rooftop of MANY6160 stores in Fremantle.
Being a basketball event, the artist painted 2 of his favourite pairs of Michael Jordan shoes.
Linking to Monday Murals, please follow this link to see other murals from around the world.
(PS: Little Creatures is a Fremantle brewery and Hops & Hoops was a basketball event for youngsters, presumably sponsored by the Brewery).
Now that is some hommage to Michael Jordan - wonder if he´s aware of it.
ReplyDeleteHave sadly missed this. Not the beer at Little Creatures, though ;-)
I doubt Michael Jordon knows about his basketball shoes being painted on a mural in Fremantle. It would be fun for him to come visit though.
DeleteI'm thrilled that your country knows something besides tennis and soccer. This is MY sport, and I adore those shoes and the story behind them. This sounds like a worthy event, and some awesome art came out of it, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. Frankly you don't see much basketball on tv, they mainly show soccer, rugby, tennis, cycling. It must have been a worthy event though as you say.
DeleteNow those are some really big shoes to fill. They make a fine mural.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing outdoor basketball shoes 2018

Obrigada pela sua visita Joao, ainda em que gostou do mural.
DeleteThe proof that anything can be turned into art. It's a great mural!
ReplyDeleteQuite right Sara, who would have thought tennis shoes would be a good subject?
DeleteThe mural maker sure knows his shoes. Nice one.

Deleteso unusual
ReplyDeleteHi Gerald, certainly an unusual subject to paint.Thanks for your visit.
DeleteGosh they almost look three dimensional Sami, he's so talented!
ReplyDeleteI agree Grace, he's a great artist.
Delete...mighty BIG shoes to fill...:>))
ReplyDeleteThat coveted brand! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this mural will make many stop and look at the shoes. Nicely done.
Unfortunately this and other murals are on the rooftop of a small shopping centre which means it's not very visible.
DeleteWorks for a basketball event. I've seen players profiles on walls but never a pair of shoes. Different and creative. Nice image!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my blog "somewhereinireland".
Thanks Bill. Yes, it's different, I would never think of painting shoes.
