Chef creates sushi replicas of NBA signature shoes

Italian sushi chef Yujia Hu has found an incredible way to combine his culinary skills with his love of basketball.

Hu made headlines last August for his rice-and-seaweed replicas of NBA stars like LeBron James and DeMarcus Cousins, and has now turned his attention to signature sneakers.

Here's a sampling of his creations:
