Usain Bolt's Sneakers for Noel Shoe Museum NYC
Donation protected
STEP UP and help us raise money to conserve and protect the famed Olympian, Usain Bolt's, signed gold running shoes for The Noel Shoe Museum: New York founded by Vanessa Noel, the first shoe museum of its kind in New York and The United States!
Conserving Usain Bolt’s shoes
Conservators will work to understand how the compositions of the shoes will change over time and the consequences of their natural breakdown. Studying the effects of various light wavelengths, their response to changes in humidity and temperature, they will determine the best conditions for their preservation. Using this information, a special display case will be designed with an environment ton allows us to stabilize the shoes today and preserve them for the many years to come.
What Goes Into The Conservation?
To preserve the shoes and keep them on exhibit, we have to display them under optimal conditions. They will need calibrated light exposure, as well as controlled humidity and temperature. Our conservators will work to determine the right conditions. The shoes will then undergo a conservation treatment to clean and stabilize them.
Where Will The Shoes Be Displayed?
The shoes will be showcased at The Noel Shoe Museum: New York along with many other prized shoes.
With your help, the conservation and display case for Usain Bolt’s shoes will ensure millions of people can enjoy them for many years at the exhibitions at The Noel Shoe Museum: New York.
What's in the Budget?
· Research needed to inform conservation decisions
· Materials and tools for conservation work
· State-of-the-art, climate-controlled display case
