  • Custom Nike Dunk – Big Bad Wolf by YoaKustoms
    By on September 21st, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Here is a detailed look at a very unique Custom Nike Dunk – Big Bad Wolf by YoaKustoms. The theme/inspiration is derived from the concept of the Big Bad Wolf. The overall image conceived throughout the shoe is a very vivid representation of a wolf’s face with blood shot red eyes. They feature a monotone gray and black color-way contrasted by the red eyes. The truly amazing feature on this pair has to be the creative wolf ear design on the back heel tab of the shoe.

  • Nike “Ultimate Glory” Dunk Hi
    By on September 21st, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    here.

    This is the Nike “Ultimate Glory” Dunk Hi. This model comes in an upper that is all red, with red elephant print.

    The toe box is surrounded by a mudguard. There are double lines of machine stitching to help define the different areas. The tongue has a tag with the Ultimate Glory brand in special font. The tongue is in cackle print, with a shoe lace lock near the tip.

    The red shoe lace is perfect for this shoe. The shoe’s inner lining is red. The back tab has “Chavez” sewn in red thread. Below this is a small panel with some horizontal lines of machine stitching. The base of the heel extends upwards and meets the last few pairs of shoe lace holes. Although the entire upper uses the same red cackle print, the different areas of the shoe are not lost in the camouflage. The Nike swoosh stands out with the help of the double lines to define the outline. The midsole and outsole are red. The uniform color creates a unique effect to show a clean looking shoe. The elephant print makes it appear classy.

    This model is exclusive and will be sold only at the Nike Sportswear 1902 store in Mexico City. This Nike “Ultimate Glory” Dunk Hi will be first released on Oct. 2.

  • Custom Stan Smiths by Yassir Rais
    By on September 21st, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    I highlighted the latest creations by designer Yassir Rais in yesterday’s post. The Adidas Stan Smith customs shown above were the first posted by Rais at his Customsnkr.com blog linked here. While I am a bigger fan of his “Under Construction” Nike Dunks, I think his initial entry into the world of custom sneakers was impressive.

    The background pattern used by Rais features blue squares, blue triangles, red Xs and green stars. He extended these colors to red, blue and green eyelets as well as a stream of colors on the tongue. Yassir freestyled a bit on the heels of these Stan Smiths with a black/white flower winding its way from the collar to the back panel.

    Every designer’s first effort at custom art is an adventure into the unknown. It is clear, however, that Yassir’s true talents show through these Stan Smith. The rich details and eye for contrasts expressed in the “Under Construction” Dunks make themselves known in Yassir’s first shoes. The best part about Yassir Rais’ first sneakers is the willingness to think outside of the box to create an interesting new design.

  • Jordan Blasé – black and white/beige colorways.
    By on September 20th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    here.

    Jordan Brand is going to introduce a new look to its dress shoes. These off court shoes will be revamped to look very trendy. Jordan Brand has scheduled a new release on Oct. 1. This post will feature the Jordan Blasé. This line manufactures lifestyle sneakers to cater to users who want to wear stylish shoes with their casual dress attire. This new release of Jordan Blasé comes in two new colorways.

    Let us look at the black colorway now. The toe box is in plain, black leather. The entire toe box is its own cap or mud guard. The midsection is made of thick, woven fabric that looks like heavy canvas. The thick shoe strap looks attractive and it has a bit of design on the leather too. The back tab is canvas and then the heel becomes leather again.

    The white colorway has a totally different look. The midsection has a pattern on its canvas. The back tab also has a pattern.The shoe strap and segment at the heel are in beige. The white toe box makes the shoe look classy and clean. I prefer the white colorway because of the patterns.
