A first-time designer created these Nike Dunk customs for a friend named Jessica. The Jessica Dunk Lows feature an argyle pattern underneath a black Nike swoosh that is pretty classy. The designer added a bit of playfulness to these shoes by adding the word “Jethica” in green set against the blue background around the left heel.

This designer seems to be ahead of the curve on adding small touches to custom sneakers. Many novice designers struggle to find matching pieces for their overall vision and color palette. She saw the forest for the trees and added minor accents like customized tags and green shoe laces that complete the shoe. I am certain that Jessica had a fantastic birthday once she received these hot Nike Dunks.

The UEFA European Championship is held once in every 4 years. The national football teams of European countries are encouraged to participate. This football competition was actually started in 1960. Back then, it was known as the European Nations’ Cup. The founder was Henri Delaunay.

Nike wants to commemorate this tournament.It has created the Air Classic in a shoe upper made of leather. The shoe lace is white and this coordinates with the white Nike swoosh. The white accent is a stark contrast against the rich brown of the upper. This swoosh is an overlay.The tongue is also brown leather. The tip of the tongue has Nike Air in electric blue letters.

The outsole is in electric blue. This shoe clearly commands a lot of attention. The quantity of this edition of shoes is very limited. Nike wants to make this special so this sneaker comes in restricted numbers and will be sold for a short period of time.

The midsole is in the same shade of dark brown as the shoe upper. At the heel, there is a small transparent window. The inner lining of the sneaker is in deep brown. This shoe looks formal and is suitable for the office.

The shoes cost USD 190 for each pair. They are sold at Hanon.
