With a goal of drawing attention to the global water crisis, this New York citywide exhibit features 3 feet by 5 feet running shoe statues designed by Rachel Ray, top model Petra Nemcova, Lance Bass, the New York Giants, as well as other famous celebs.

To create the statues, each celebrity designer received a standard-sized sneaker along with art supplies and inspiration about the official Blue Planet Run athletes. The designs were then transformed into larger-than-life sneaker statues and placed all over New York City to mark the start of the 2007 Blue Planet Run®.

Millions of New Yorkers and tourists from around the world will be stopping in their tracks this summer to marvel at these Giant Sneakers that have magically popped up overnight.
