Krazy Bear Kicks is back with a pair of custom Nike Dunks for lions, tigers and bears. The Wild Safari Dunks pictured posted here provide an explosion of color rarely seen outside of a Skittles commercial. I have grown to appreciate these shoes for their untamed color scheme with repeated viewing.
The Wild Safari Dunks are stamped with the Krazy Bear logo on their orange toe boxes. There is a little rhyme or reason to the rest of the shoe though it is a guilty pleasure for sneaker fans. The yellow/orange colorway on the swoosh stands out against panels colored pink, orange and blue. My favorite part of the Wild Safari Dunks is the dark blue/light blue pattern on the front panel. These sneakers are fun to view and contribute a little more humor to the custom kicks marketplace.

The toe box is white with tiny perforations. It is capped by a pink-purple border that extends across the length of the shoe. There are blue and orange leather panels that comprise the design for the shoe lace region. The lace is black and sets a stark contrast to this region.The orange panel overlaps the blue panel and has horizontal lines.
The back tab contains a play on the colors of blue, black and orange; with the orange being on the top most layer. That is because the orange represents the “King Of The Mountain.”
Along the length of the shoe, there is a long panel of black colored “reptile” skin. The texture is attractive as the scales of the leather are visible. Near the heel, there is an orange colored panelwith the Air Max brand logo.Above the black “reptile” skin is the white Nike swoosh. The pattern of scales is said to be fake.
The midsole is grey colored with specks of white. From the side view, we see that the panels of leather run along lengthwise and are arranged neatly in layers. The midsole also contains the window to the Nike Air Max cushion. This pair of sneakers will be released at the end of June.
