Impreation has released a pair of custom Nikes called Green Vines that makes the wearer appreciate nature on a daily basis. The background color on the toebox and eyelets transitions from white to dark green over a matter of inches. Dark vines twist and turn with each other as the eye moves to the midsole. I respect Impreation for the intricate vine design though I think it could have extended to the entire shoe.
The deep green of the swoosh and the heel area follows the light to dark transition of the Green Vines concept. I think a novel idea to design this custom sneaker would have been a reverse transition after the swoosh starts. The dark green could have given way to light as the vines wrap their way around the heels.
My fantasy version of the Green Vines should not diminish Impreation’s work. The paint job is impeccable and the concept of the shoe is intriguing to horticulturists and ballers alike. I think it would be difficult to top Impreation’s work but sneaker designers can create some great stuff in trying.
