Sushi chef and illustrator Yujia Hu is the man behind the shoe-shaped delicacies. A sports lover and foodie, he transforms tiny strands of black seaweed nori and smooth slips of pink fish to give each rice-based shoe-shi its designer features. Each sushi shoe is athletic in style and branding, but by miniaturizing and rendering them in an innately delicate edible medium, Hu tempers the mimicry of mainstream sneaker brands with the exquisite presentation of a plate of sushi.
