A picture of the shoes would suffice.

actual sneakers or sneakers that have been painted??
Since its an illustration course what did they suggest submitting . If its a found object thing, put em in a cardboard shadow box like Louise Nevelson an call it "Homage d' Louise" or "Homydz dla pani Nevelson'a" (The committee will be impressed at your knowledge of other artists) and an attempt to sound bilingual (even though I hve no idea what Im saying)

Why not?)
