These Breathtaking Repurposed Sneaker Masks Are Pure Genius

Beijing-based designer Zhijun Wang is turning sneakers on their head – literally. Since 2014, he's been re-inventing the air pollution mask, repurposing highly sought-after kicks, such as ACRONYM, Nike Lab Presto, YEEZY, and Vapormax, into the coolest smog-ready street gear. His most hyped creation to date had to be the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 – a rare pair that sneaker freaks would happily cop for a sweet $10k – oh, and that famous IKEA mask that 100 percent won the IKEA customization game. Check out our favorites below and prepare to have your mind blown.
