A teenager has won praise for transforming old footwear into street art pieces - complete with lamp posts.

Stella Stockbridge, from Aylesbury, began by redesigning an old Jordan trainer before her art went viral on social media.

The 19-year-old was already using social media for her business until her experiment "blew up" online.

"I expected them to get a lot of hate comments... but overwhelmingly people were so supportive," she said.

She has produced a seven-part video series showing how she went from cutting out parts of the shoe, to painting it and even adding a light up miniature lamp post.

The shoe itself was already ruined, she said, and instead of it going to waste, she was inspired to create something out of it.

She said it took a week to redesign the shoe, using unconventional materials like clay, foam board and plaster, to transform it into a piece of art.
