A Chinese designer is dismantling valuable pairs of sneakers and reinterpreting them as smog masks in a bid to tackle pollution in China.
中国一位设计师拆解了昂贵的运动鞋，将其改装成防霾口罩来应对中国空气污染问题。
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.
到目前为止，他最有名的作品改造自一双Yeezy Boost 350 V2s运动鞋，这款鞋子价值高达1万美金，是不少鞋子发烧友争先抢购的限量款。
The Beijing-based creative, Zhijun Wang, first began experimenting with re-purposing sneakers back in 2014 when the former marathon runner noticed the air was not clean.
北京人王志钧在2014年参加马拉松时发现北京空气有些污浊，于是就开始对运动鞋进行改造再利用，自此开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.
虽然大多数中国人由于重度空气污染都佩戴上口罩，但市场上却严重匮乏时尚的口罩。
As a result, he challenged himself to create face gear that was both functional and stylish.
所以，他决定挑战自我，创造一款功能与外形兼备的口罩。
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.
他的处女作是由耐克夹克衫和耐克飞线跑鞋改造而成的，但第二个作品是完全由一款运动鞋改造而成。
Since then, he has gone on to create around twenty unique masks all made from collectable footwear and fitted with 3M filters.
从那以后，他陆陆续续改造了20款左右的独特的口罩，这些口罩都是由极具收藏价值的鞋子改造而成的，并安装了3M滤嘴。
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们青睐，它使用了两个半片的Yeezy的橙灰色针织鞋帮，标志性的“SPLY350”品牌字样在两侧都清晰可见。
The special-edition mask drew an impressive bid of more than $5,000 on eBay China.
这款特别的口罩在易趣中国上售价超过五千美金，让人印象深刻。
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.
王志钧深知，要将时尚和环境意识相结合，中国还有一段很长的路要走。但是，他对普通口罩的创意改造必然会促进二者之间所需的交流对话。
