A designer with the handle lakebay2 showcased a bunch of new custom sneakers in a Nike Talk post linked here. My favorites were the red/gold/silver Air Force Ones shown above because they caught my eye right away. You can check out additional photos of lakebay2’s work after this post.
While lakebay2’s work as a whole is fantastic, I think the gem of this collection is the red/gold/silver Air Force Ones. The tri-color look would be nice on its own but lakebay2 used interesting colors to fill in each section. I am not sure if these shoes were meant to symbolize the bronze, silver and gold of the Beijing Olympics (the red is a little to bright to be considered bronze) but they look great without this context.
Anyone who has read my posts throughout the past year knows that I love small touches that contribute to a great shoe. I love the the red and silver “Air” on the outsole as well as the gold line running underneath. I know that lakebay2 probably poured heart and soul into these shoes but I hope we see some more inspired sneakers like these Air Force Ones in the near future.
