Anyone? No matter. Adidas thought it would be a great idea to [allow consumers to design their shoes with photos they’ve taken on Instagram](http://www.nicekicks.com/2014/05/16/adidas-announces-photo-print-app-for-zx-flux/) — finally combining the world of food porn and footwear. By using the adidas Photo Print App, people can print and paste photos on their ZX Flux shoes. And while while adidas suggests buyers slap on their pictures of hamburgers, cherry blossoms and giant rock formations, we have a more hip and with it list of Instagram suggestions: a friend doing duck face, your [hot dog legs at the beach](http://hot-dog-legs.tumblr.com), or a very self-aware shot of a circle of your friends’ shoes. It seems like you can turn an Instagram photo into just about anything these days. There are even Instagram inspired [marshmallows](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/11/25/gram-on-graham-you-can-now-eat-smores-made-out-of-instagrams/). Marshmallows! At least shoes are a more traditional choice. Can’t wait to gram the grammed shoes. Meta is so in right now. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/103249/adidas-instagram-shoes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/103249/adidas-instagram-shoes/"},"headline":"You Can Now Turn Your Instagrams Into Shoes","datePublished":"2014-05-16T19:21:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:44.619Z","description":"It was bound to happen sooner or later","url":"https://time.com/103249/adidas-instagram-shoes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Photos","Business topic","Instagram","Adidas"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt769e041f74eb7dbf/69868fece8524bb443602f0e/330317.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt769e041f74eb7dbf/69868fece8524bb443602f0e/330317.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"adidas shoes","caption":"Adidas is letting consumers turn Instagram photos into shoe design","creditText":"Adidas","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/103249/adidas-instagram-shoes/","name":"You Can Now Turn Your Instagrams Into Shoes"}}]}] ```
