Chances are, your sneakers don't cost as much as the models below that will be worn by a few lucky horses.
Marcus Floyd, an artist from Kentucky, began creating sneakers for horses as part of a collaboration with VisitLex, the public tourism agency in Lexington, an area known for horse farms and racetracks. VisitLex reached out to Floyd ahead of the Breeder's Cup, a series of horse races held in Lexington on Nov. 4 and 5.
Floyd, who had experience designing and modifying shoes, attended an intensive four-day program called The Shoe Surgeon's SRGN Academy to learn how parts of sneakers are taken apart and then rebuilt.
It takes up to 17 hours to create a pair of shoes. He buys the shoes – such as a pair of classic Air Jordan sneakers – and then takes them apart, carefully pulling each piece apart before putting the pieces back together.
Yes, sneakers are actually made to be worn by horses. Prices start at around $1,200, depending on the design. They are so cute that they would convince anyone to buy them. Ah, yes...first of all, we need a horse.
