Emmanuelabor used the Marvel villain Sandman as inspiration for these custom Dunks. The designer used the character’s striped shirt as well as his sandy body to create sneaker art that was fitting of the character’s evil behavior. His Enter the Sandman Dunks can be seen at the Nike Talk post linked here.
These Sandman-inspired Dunks feature an inventive sandy design on the middle panel, tongue and Nike swoosh that looks like the character’s defining characteristic. I am not sure what he used to create this effect but it looks quite impressive. Emmanuelabor used the toe box and outsole for tan paint that represents the character’s skin color. The heel is a dark brown to represent Sandman’s pants and offer a different color to break up the rest of the earthen tones.
My favorite part of the Enter the Sandman Dunks is the green striping running up to the collar. These alternating stripes look just like Sandman’s shirt and keep the shoe from drifting into a dull brown mess. Emmanuelabor’s work on these custom Dunks dovetail well with 2007’s Spiderman 3 and brings sneaker fans closer to one of Spiderman’s frequent foes.
