Nike SB Fish Ladder Mask

Freehand Profit's Nike SB Fish Ladder Mask captures the fluid, aquatic energy of skate culture as a numbered entry in his iconic sneaker mask lineage, first documented in late 2020. Meticulously built from Nike SB Dunk Low Fish Ladder sneakers, the piece translates the colorway's signature scale-like patterns and structural lines into a seamless, protective mask form through precise hand assembly.

Gary Lockwood, known as Freehand Profit, is a Virginia-based artist whose practice transforms iconic sneakers into one-of-one sculptural masks. Since 2010, he has produced more than 200 unique works, each examining the intersection of identity, consumer culture, and contemporary symbolism through the language of footwear. By recontextualizing familiar materials into meticulously constructed objects, Freehand Profit elevates the everyday into something collectible—where craft, concept, and cultural reference converge.
