  • Custom Nike Dunks – “Glow In The Dark”
    By on November 2nd, 2008 | 4 Comments4 Comments Comments

     

     

    Designer ONE20SEVEN has created these interesting Nike Dunks. Using a glow in the dark pair of Dunks as the base ONE20SEVEN added a neon green light strip around the Nike Swoosh to make them glow even more. The light is powered by 2 AA batteries hidden behind the tongue of the shoe with easy button snap access. They dont just light up a solid green neon though, two settings have been added where you can change them from either solid or strobe. They also have a tennis ball fur lining and insole but you cant notice that in the pictures, so just make a note of it. Only 2 pairs have been done, 1 for a customer and another personal pair for ONE20SEVEN himself.

  • Dr. Doom Dunk Highs
    By on November 2nd, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Diversitile Custom Clothing was approached by a comic book fan recently who wanted a pair of shoes modeled after Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom is one of my favorite comic book villains because he uses his intelligence instead of brute force to battle the Fantastic Four. I found Diversitile’s Dr. Doom Dunk Highs at the designer’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

    I was most impressed by Diversitile’s recreation of metal plates and bolts on the toe box and heel. The three-dimensional look and the realistic appearance of shiny metal take advanced skills that few designers possess. Diversitile also does a great job of fading the metallic silver from the heel into a heated orange color at the front end of the Nike swoosh.

    Diversitile’s depiction of Dr. Doom varies from a closeup look at the scientist’s masked face to a broader view of Dr. Doom igniting balls of electricity with his hands. As someone who is a big fan of Dr. Doom, I think that Diversitile did justice to this established villain in the Marvel universe. He was able to capture Dr. Doom’s torment as well as his evil genius without writing any words or creating an entire comic book.

  • Custom Nike Air Force Ones – “Paris x Dunkle”

    Mache created these Nike Air Force One custom sneakers for ISS member KVN. Mache had done a custom pair of Nike Dunks in the past with a design that included a combination inspired by the Dunkle Dunks and Paris Dunks. Seeing the design and quality Mache had put into the sneakers KVN was convinced he had to have is own pair, just on a pair of Air Force Ones instead. I am always amazed by the work of Mache, you can really sense the love and dedication put into every single pair he does. The designs and color fades are always spot on.

  • Nike Air Blue Chip Supreme PE: Rudy Gay & Caron Butler

    It is basketball season and Nike is busy coming out with many PEs from some of the hottest players in the NBA. These are two of the latest Nike Air Blue Chip PEs from Rudy Gay and Caron Butler.

    The Rudy Gay PE is dark colored and inspired by the Memphis Grizzlies colorway. It has a black upper with yellow and light blue accents. The yellow shoe lace is bright and sunny against the black upper. The outstanding part of the shoe is the midsole. The light blue mudguard sits above the topmost layer of the midsole with a yellow color. The thick midsole is black with a light blue outsole. The tongue is light blue and coordinates with the back tab. The inner lining is light blue.

    The Nike Air Blue Chip Supreme Caron Butler PE has a similar design to its counterpart discussed above. The upper is white, with blue and orange accents. The shoe lace is orange. The blue tongue has an orange accent at the tip where the brand name Nike is done in orange. I like the black colorway.

    These two PEs are sold at OSneaker at $150 each. There are many more photos after the jump.
