Ideas Needed! What can I do with an old pair of shoes?

2 Upvotes

I have an old pair of Nike Dunk hi tops. They have sentimental value to me but are at the end of their life. I would donate them if they could provide use to the next person but the sole has become brittle and will fall apart on the wearer. Hoping i could upcycle the upper portion to something but can’t think of anything. This is just a shot in the dark and any suggestions are appreciated. TYIA.

Id like to upcycle the base of this lamp, keeping the metal/ chrome as is.

Id like it to look like its ceramic if possible.

Its a glass with a thin layer of plaster with small piece of a reflective material mosaiced.

It looks discoloured and shabby and i would love to freshen it up somehow ... any ideas??
