On Running 005

This one of a kind custom On Running shoes was created especially for Cliff Nunley, as part of the Art Run Cliff won a pair of custom shoes. After a few coffees and a lot of brainstorming. The shoes were created to represent Cliff and his journey from the USA to the UAE.

The left shoe represented his time in the USA with the colours of the flag. 4th of July fireworks and the skylines of the two cities he called home in the US the back of the shoe has a plane flying to his new journey in the UAE. The right shoe represents his time in the UAE with the city’s skyline and the text Life is a journey enjoy the ride and an outline of a man spinning on a bicycle, representing his love for his work.

About the author, Mariska

Hi and welcome! My name is Mariska. I am originally from South Africa, but now call the world my home. I am an artist, designer, environmentalist, podcast host and speaker.

I started the Mama Earth Talk podcast in 2018 to share some of the things that I learned about just how easy it can be to reduce your impact on the environment. This then quickly grew into a forum that showcases the amazing things that many people are doing to make the planet better, and further into a source of hope and inspiration for many. A few of the amazing guests include Zero Waste Queen, Bea Johnson, Claude Silver, Kathryn Kellogg and zero waste chef Max La Manna.

If you do not already I urge you to follow me and my journey on social media (@designbymariska), and to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot your own waste using the handy tips I post!
