Solid Kicks by Britton Mane

Nike SB Dunk "Lady Liberty '76" – Concrete Rebellion by Britton Mane** 

Britton Mane redefines patriotic sneaker art with this 8-pound concrete SB Dunk, transforming the iconic skate silhouette into a non-wearable monument to American independence. Part of the “Solid Kicks” exhibition, this non-functional sculpture fuses street culture with revolutionary symbolism in brutally beautiful detail.

Gilded Rebellion: 24k gold checkmark blazes across cracked concrete, echoing Lady Liberty's torch while nodding to sneaker culture's approval stamp

- "1776" on the tongue in colonial-style typography
- *"JULY IV"* (period-correct spelling) painted onto the heel tab
- Broken Chain Detail: Shattered wrought-iron links symbolize revolution, their rough edges left dangerously exposed
- Patina Palette: Oxidation greens and copper blues mimic century-old statue weathering.

Weight:** 8 lbs of deliberate heft – as substantial as the ideals it represents

Mane reinterprets national iconography through streetwear's lens:
"This isn't about blind patriotism – it's about the grit behind the glory. That checkmark? It's America's receipt for freedom paid in full."

For Collectors Who:
- Believe sneaker culture IS American culture
- Want art that sparks debates about freedom's forms
- Appreciate history told through concrete and gold

"Not your father's patriotism – this revolution comes with skate laces."

Display Warning:
The broken chain elements are intentionally sharp – freedom wasn't won with rounded corners.

The Solid Kicks Project merges streetwear culture, community artistry, and philanthropy. The ultimate goal? To sell these custom sneaker artworks and donate the proceeds to a worthy cause. This is more than a project—it’s a celebration of creativity with purpose.
