After shoe and clothing company Sneakfiend asked Mizzee Customs for custom Dunks based on Jason Voorhees in the spring, the designer got a flood of requests for more. Mizzee Customs has responded to repeated requests for an encore with the Jason Dunks 2.0. These customs were created for another client and depict Friday the 13th’s villain in the bloodiest way possible.

Mizzee sets the scene on the right shoe by showing a nervous man covering his mouth with his hand. It is clear that he has seen Jason but he is unable to run away in time. The left shoe shows the carnage created after Jason cuts off the head of the unnamed character. Jason stands emotionless as the character’s head is separated, leaving behind a lifeless torso and a spurt of blood.

The designer wanted to take a new and more graphic approach to the Jason Dunks 2.0 than his original customs. His second go-around with Jason Voorhees is a smashing success, capturing the cold-blooded nature of this famed movie character.

Ripp took a break from designing for outside clients and decided to make a pair of custom sneakers for his girlfriend. His girlfriend asked for a pair of customs with colors from her favorite treats, cotton candy and Popsicles. Ripp calls these custom Air Force Ones “Cotton Candy with a Popsicle,” highlighting the burst of color featured in the photos below.

The middle panel, heel tag and toe box are painted pink to represent cotton candy. The bright blue panels and orange Nike swoosh symbolize different colors of Popsicles available from your neighborhood ice cream man. The heel tag features a pink backdrop, blue Nike and orange swoosh to bring all of these elements together.

Ripp’s Cotton Candy with a Popsicle Air Force Ones remind me of summer even though it is freezing outside. The swirl of candy-themed colors makes me look forward to the first days of summer, enjoying some cool treats in the sun.

When the first pictures of the highly anticipated Infrared I hit the web it was somewhat hard to see what they really looked like. Nevertheless, everyone wanted to know why they were so shinny, and some even questioned JB’s quality. But thanks to a Kenlu forum member, we now present you with better images. Set to take off early next year the Infrared I features a full Infrared patent leather upper with what looks to be black leather around the toecap, on the side panels and around the heel. Theres still about a month a half to go before release date, giving you undecided minds plenty of time to decide. Tech info after the jump.

Mizzee Customs took a crack at recreating the venerable Paris Dunks released in the summer of 2003. The original Paris Dunks featured panels from French artist Bernard Buffet and each pair was unique. The designer behind Mizzee Customs had to step up his game to make his Paris Dunks look like the originals.

The colors and details on the Paris Dunks by Mizzee Customs are nearly as impressive as the original model. Mizzee used the canvas backdrop for his miniature paintings while using neutral suede on the toe box to let your eyes recover from the colorful images. Additional photos of these custom Dunks below show that Mizzee Customs took great care to replicate the brush strokes, backdrops and day-to-day themes used by Bernard Buffet.

While this project would be ambitious for a novice sneaker artist, Mizzee Customs has been making beautifully designed sneakers since 1999. You can look at Mizzee’s other projects at http://www.myspace.com/mizzeecustoms and email the designer at [email protected] if you want your own customs.
