Shoestorming – Recycled Outsole Handbag (Updated)

• 

Here's a very interesting project from designer, Sabina Alcaraz. Recycling her outsoles, she's managed to find a pretty ingenious use for them and used them to create the base of her hand bag. I've always been a fan of this concept ever since I saw this  Jordan bag by Michael DiTullo, and wanted to see it taken further.

I'm an art student at the Polytechnic University of Valencia,
interested in the world of graphic design and product design.

This design was made for the contest of the Art Company shoes brand, where (it) has been selected (http://www.shoestorming.com/).
The concept was born from the union of a female bag with a male sole, born UNISEX a bag. I want to unite the concept of recycling and male-female, two concepts are very interesting to me.

Check out more pictures of the bag, below.

   Kinda cool. At YourReebok and miadidas we always have lots of leftover midsoles and other materials. Anyone seen other uses for these materials that are footwear relate-able?
   I'd love to see a design for key fobs, cell phone covers (maybe that'd be hard since cell phones are all different sizes), or something where it's fairly easy to put together and we could include as a freebie for customers.
