This intricately-produced crystal resin sneaker figure took over one year to complete while artist DanLife worked to perfect the casting technique required to create the final object that he had originally envisioned. The end result brings one of the most culturally recognizable figures into a new form.

The Limited-edition Dan Life Frosted Sculpture 3 will consist of 500 pieces globally. Each sculpture comes with custom packaging, protective foam inserts, and certificate of authenticity from the artist's studio. The 3D work will definitely be the staple piece to your art collection.
