  • Skull Gang Air Force Ones
    By on October 29th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Designer Charles Brown of Cr3@Tive Mind Customz has come out with a pair of custom Nike Air Force Ones based on a distinctive T-shirt. The Skull Gang AF1s are modeled on a blue Skull Gang T-shirt with a pink skeleton sporting gold teeth. These custom sneakers were found on Brown’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

    The toe box and heel of the Skull Gang AF1s match the light blue background of the shirt. The light blue elements are framed by pink paint that is comparable to the skeleton’s thin features. The designer substituted gold for neon green on the middle panel and the Nike swoosh. Brown found matching laces for all three colors to complete these shoes with a bit of flair.

    While Brown didn’t specify if these shoes were for himself or a client, I think the shoe works well with the Skull Gang T-shirt. If Charles Brown can keep up this level of quality in future customs, he should gain a following among clothing and sneaker fans.

  • Custom Nike Dunk “Reused”

    These custom dunks dubbed “Reused” are stitched up by an ISS/NikeSB member by the name of Hhaseanski. The “Reused” theme couldnt of been carried out anymore then it has here. Your probably asking yourself what is a “reused” theme. Well as the story goes Hhaseanski ripped a pair of his favorite plaid shorts,  he was sort of upset over the situation. As he was about to throw them in the garbage he thought to himself hey im a customizer, since i liked these so much why dont i try and reuse the material on a pair of sneakers.

    So thats just what he did. However, the Reused theme goes one step further. The plaid material which use to make up a pair of shorts was laid down on top of a previous custom sneaker which didnt come out as expected. So not only is the material reused, a pair of old customs were reused. The stitching could be a little cleaner but as is it sort of gives it that raw look. Hhaseanski also added a custom tag on the tongue to match with his signature.

     

  • Custom Nike Air Force 1 “Shutterlashes”

    Mateo-Acrylics presents use with a custom in which he used a Nike Air Force 1 as the base shoe. Being dubbed ‘Shutterlashes’ these sneakers have a lot going on from the stripes on the back, to the crazy stitching on the middle all the way up to the fade on the front. Mateo-Acrylics has been known to do some crazy stitching designs when it came to his Ether Series so this time around he decided to freestyle the stitching a bit and see how it comes out. The finish on that is amazing and the little red dots thrown in are a nice touch to go along with the red laces and the fade on the frontal which goes from red to black. Not to take away from the designs Mateo-Acrylics left the midsole and sole pretty black. And as of course, as it seems to be a must these days, there is a custom Mateo tag on the tongue.

  • Nike Air Force 1 “Rainbow Glass”

    Here are a pair of custom Nike Air Force 1s by Mateo Acrylics. Mateo is calling these “Rainbow Glass” as the sneakers carry a very colorway design from top to bottom. The fading between the colors on the upper is some of the nicest fade jobs i have seen and the multi color sole to match is killing it. Also take notice to the multi colored stitching on the midsole which matches the colors Mateo used on the upper design and the colors used on the sole. Not to take away from the rainbow theme Mateo stuck with the multi color laces which came with the base sneaker. And it goes without saying, no custom would be complete without the customizers tag included, so just like every other pair hes done Mateo added a custom tag to the tongue. Earlier this year i wrote about a pair Air Jordan Fusion 3 Rainbow Glass so go check that out also.

     

     

     

  • Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium – brown/plaid/white colorway
    By on October 28th, 2008 | No Comments Comments


    Source of image: here.

    The Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium is a popular shoe. The basic model has been issued in many colors before. Some people think that autumn is the perfect season to wear the Nike Air Force One shoe.This shoe will be sold at Atmos-Tokyo from Nov. 1st.

    The toe box is in rich, brown leather, with neat rows and columns of perforations. The mudguard surrounds the toe box. The shoe lace region is in the same rich brown leather. The dark brown shoe lace matches well with this brown color. There is a shoe lace lock at the beginning of the shoe lace. The midsection of the shoe is in Buffalo plaid. The section of plaid is arranged at an angle that flows with the midsection of the shoe. Due to the angles of arrangement, the two sections of plaid look different. The heel is also made of the same plaid but it is arranged at a different angle. The back tab is white in color. The Nike swoosh is attached over the plaid. The inner lining is in chocolate brown. The midsole looks clean in white. I think that plaid is a tradition with country styles and autumn.
