A Chinese designer is dismantling valuable pairs of sneakers and reinterpreting them as smog masks in a bid to tackle pollution in China.

中國一位設計師拆解了昂貴的運動鞋，將其改裝成防霾口罩來應對中國空氣污染問題。

His most hyped creation to date was crafted from a pair of Yeezy Boost 350 V2s – a rare pair that shoe obsessives have been known to snap up for a colossal $10,000.

到目前為止，他最有名的作品改造自一雙Yeezy Boost 350 V2s運動鞋，這款鞋子價值高達1萬美金，是不少鞋子發燒友爭先搶購的限量款。

The Beijing-based creative, Zhijun Wang, first began experimenting with re-purposing sneakers back in 2024 when the former marathon runner noticed the air was not clean.

北京人王志鈞在2024年參加馬拉松時發現北京空氣有些污濁，于是就開始對運動鞋進行改造再利用，自此開始了他的口罩改造之旅。

Most Chinese citizens wear face masks as a result of extreme pollution but despite this, there is a severe lack of fashionable choices on offer.

雖然大多數中國人由于重度空氣污染都佩戴上口罩，但市場上卻嚴重匱乏時尚的口罩。

As a result, he challenged himself to create face gear that was both functional and stylish.

所以，他決定挑戰自我，創造一款功能與外形兼備的口罩。

For his first creation, he used a panel from a Nike Jacket combined with a Nike Flyknit racer silo shoe but his next was exclusively crafted from a sneaker.

他的處女作是由耐克夾克衫和耐克飛線跑鞋改造而成的，但第二個作品是完全由一款運動鞋改造而成。

Since then, he has gone on to create around twenty unique masks all made from collectable footwear and fitted with 3M filters.

從那以后，他陸陸續續改造了20款左右的獨特的口罩，這些口罩都是由極具收藏價值的鞋子改造而成的，并安裝了3M濾嘴。

The most lauded of which was crafted from two halves of Yeezy’s orange and grey primeknit uppers with the signature “SPLY 350” branding visible on either side.

其中一款口罩最受人們青睞，它使用了兩個半片的Yeezy的橙灰色針織鞋幫，標志性的“SPLY350”品牌字樣在兩側都清晰可見。

The special-edition mask drew an impressive bid of more than $5,000 on eBay China.

這款特別的口罩在易趣中國上售價超過五千美金，讓人印象深刻。

Zhijun Wang is clear that China still has a long way to go when it comes to bridging the gap between fashion and environmental consciousness but his trendy twist on the ubiquitous face mask is certainly fuelling a much needed dialogue.

王志鈞深知，要將時尚和環境意識相結合，中國還有一段很長的路要走。但是，他對普通口罩的創意改造必然會促進二者之間所需的交流對話。
