A NEW STEP FORWARD

​From sneaker to statement: How we created a 3.8m prop

At BINK, we love standard solutions, but we thrive on extraordinary challenges. Projects that push boundaries. Bigger, bolder and above all: more creative. One of our latest creations is a perfect example. Meet our mega sneaker prop: a true showstopper.

An ordinary sneaker, turned into a monster 

What started with a standard men's shoe became a striking prop measuring 3.8 meters long, 1.47 meters wide and 1.66 meters high. Together with its smaller siblings, one full-size and one 1.5-meter version, it formed a unique visual ‘family portrait’: the son, the father and the grandfather. A bold, memorable statement.

All three sizes

From concept to eye-catcher: our creative process

How do you turn a sneaker into a sculptural masterpiece? With patience, precision and plenty of passion. This is how we brought it to life, in eight carefully planned steps:











Scanning the original

We started with a real shoe and scanned it in high detail.

File creation and modifications

Our designers built the 3D files and added all structural adaptations




PLA 3D printing

Each part was printed layer by layer,
 over a period of 20 to 25 days.

Painting & final check

The prop was finished with a flawless coat of paint.





Testing & inspection

We tested every connection and inspected the surface.





Sanding

 All surfaces were smoothed to perfection.

Assembly

The individual parts were assembled into one product.

The result?

A mega prop that grabs attention, sparks curiosity, and makes people stop and stare.
