EmmanueLabor experienced a flurry of creative energy recently, producing plenty of customs that will be covered in future MAS posts. The customs that struck my eye immediately were the KAWS Original Fake Nike Dunks posted originally at the Nike Talk thread here. In the last photo in this post, you will see that the KAWS Original Fake Nike Dunks glow in the dark.
The muse for these custom Dunks was clothing designer KAWS who created the Original Fake line for Japanese consumers. KAWS produced Original Fake jeans that glowed in the dark, creating a wild scene anytime some KAWS fans got together at night. The middle panel and heel wrap are finished in a light denim color while the toe is dark denim. EmmanueLabor created subtle designs within the heel wraps including swirls and Xs to simulate the muse’s past designs.
The glow-in-the-dark feature of the KAWS Original Fake Dunks may seem like a nod to a current trend but EmmanueLabor brings new flavor to this played design element. The inclusion of Xs and dark specks on the heel wraps give these glow-in-the-dark shoes a more layered look than the competition.
