YoaKustoms: EYE Created a Monster

These are looking right at you, the eyes of a monster thirsty for blood. How scared would you be if you saw the real life version of the monster YoaKustoms created on these pair of Nike Dunk lows? Hopefully you would have a camera otherwise no sane person would believe your story. This latest pair from YoaKustoms were created for custom sneaker collector freakin’sneakin’ of the Sole Collector forums using the Teen Wolf Nike Dunks that I hear are somewhat “limited” to like 75 pairs world wide. But who cares about manufactured rarity when you have a 1 of 1 custom that can pretty much never be created exactly the same. Oh and YoaKustoms made a matching Dunny to boot.
