​ As sneaker collectors my partner and I have always talked about additions to shoes that can make them better and in some cases worse. When we found out we could put lights on our own custom made sneaker we immediately came up with the concept of a light up Jordan shoe.

There was a wide range of shoes that could have been used, but we wanted ours to have a meaning behind it. Through our research we found that there was a Jordan shoe named the "Space Jams" inspired by his movie. We figured when someone thinks of space they think of stars and moon which can be sources of light.

We went out and purchased a replica of the shoe and began to put in our ideas and apply what we learned about circuits to make a shoe that doesn't look as if we stuffed a bunch of wired inside and made a robotic shoe. But a fashion piece of art.

I chose to use an “S” shape for my sculpture for a couple of reasons, the first one was it looked kind of cool originally in the simulator that we were using to do tests.  The second reason was because coincidentally it happened to be able to look like the first letter of my name, my name being Sean.  Especially afterward I am glad that I made it like that because it really does, in my opinion, look pretty cool after it was done.

Drue and I knew we wanted to create a sign made completely out of lights. We were stuck between many symbols like: a bow, an anchor, an infinity sign, a heart, and a cat face. We decided that an infinity sign would be easier than the other choices and also look really interesting lit up. We find the infinity sign cute and wanted to make a sign that we would want to put on our bedroom walls. In a more deep, metaphorical way, we find the infinity sign to represent the infinite possibilities in life.
