These are for roller skates, but if you wanted to do high top sneakers, you could just do it without the wheels and maybe a little shorter

If you just do a search for "sneakers" you will see sneaker cakes, maybe you could pm someone that did one...
Here is another one:

I did a soccer cleat which is kinda similar. It was a kid size shoe so I used a loaf pan to bake the cake and then I sat the real cleat in front of me and just followed the general shape with a knife. It was pretty easy. For the laces I used a clay gun and I poked the show with the end of a paintbrush to make it look like the lace actually went through the leather. I also used a stitching wheel to give it some detail. HTH
I have one in my gallery and actually have another one to post that I did this past weekend. I happy to help, but I know your work and I don't think you'd have any problems pulling off a shoe/sneaker. Mine were both done following pictures of the person's actual shoes.
Good Luck!
For my laces I used the cobblestone impression mat, cut thin strips and attached. Pinched the very ends to resemble the plastic wrap they have on them. When I draped down the side of the shoe, I stuffed some papertowel under it to help hold it out from the shoe to dry.
Is that what you were lookin' for?
