Lebron James X The Price is Right Shoes by Revive Customs

January 29, 2013December 25, 2012

Bob Barker would be proud of these Price is Right themed Nike Lebron Xs by Revive Customs. Colors seen on the show: green, orange, yellow and red were chosen via NikeID by Evan of Revive Customs whose next step in creating this custom was painting subtle touches to represent the popular daytime television game show. Starting with the back heel triangles the famous Plinko Chip featuring the $ sign logo was added with a gold glitter background. Next features of The Big Wheel were painted with the $ sign pattern in light green across the upper with the red arrow on the toe box in red glitter. Lastly SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN and the Revive logo on the back heels, green stars throughout, and glitter on the Lebron logo tongue pull tabs finish off these kicks perfect for if your name was called to come on down!

Nike Command Force “McFly” Custom by Peculiar Kinetics

January 29, 2013December 14, 2012

After releasing last year the Nike Mags influence in the custom sneaker world has been such that it will surely continue into the future. The latest custom sneaker take to mirror the Air Mags futuristic look is this collaborative effort custom Nike Command Force by Jonathan Carrington of Peculiar Studios. With the help of Revive Customs, PK had a pair of vintage Nike Command Forces saved with a sole swap from a pair of Air Force 180 retros. Next the Mags signature light up soles were actually setup by myself under my custom sneaker brand Evolved-Footwear. With the revived kicks now light up shoes Jonathan transformed the formerly white upper and neon midsoles to a gray upper, white Swooshes and with turquoise accents on the midsole speckle and tongue logos.

Air Jordan 4 Command Force Customs by @emmanueLabor

January 29, 2013December 12, 2012

The years were 1989 and 1991, Michael Jordan and David Robinson, the Air Jordan IV debuted first and the Nike Air Command Force a couple years later. MJ continued to sell shoes obviously while Mr. Robinson never gained that status that could sell his own signature shoe. Surely Robinson influenced some sales. But Woody Harrelson playing as Billy Hoyle rocking the Command Force in White Men Can’t Jump is considered more significant than anything that happened in them around Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood. Yet for emmanueLabor this custom combining the both pairs was a way to bring him back to his childhood.

Nike Foamposite Rainbow Galaxy Customs by TRAGIKkicks

January 29, 2013December 7, 2012

Nike’s release of the Galaxy Nike Foamposite earlier this year did more than rile up sneakerheads, it gave shoe customizers the green light to use the Nike Foamposite as a base for more than solid colors. While the galaxy has been mimicked by many and successfully recreated by few TRAGIKkicks decided to spin the idea in another whole direction. Less outerspace and more Earth’s atmosphere with a rainbow influenced galaxy theme. At least seven colors were blended upon the Foamposite upper with specks of white intermittent against all black accents of the tongue, liner and soles. Do you think these make Nikes galaxy print look tame?

Nike Blazer SB Marihuana Custom Sneakers by El Cappy

January 27, 2013December 7, 2012

Can you expect anything less than a complete custom box to go with the next El Cappy custom sneaker by Eric Lowry? After his Nike Mag Lebron 9 and this here Nike Blazer probably not. The theme is obvious with this pair of El Cappy customs influenced by 4/20 and the slow state by state legalization. Titled, Marihuana this SB Blazer was given an all new painted upper with varying green graphics on both sides and tongues. The base shoe were the Independent Trucks Nike Blazer which had orange accents that went perfect with the rest of El Cappy’s concept of a shoebox modeled after a Zig Zag Cigarette Papers box. Final EL Cappy branding on the custom engraved tongue tags and lace dubrets finish off the 1 of 1 custom.

@KingJames wants his own Nike Lebron X Devastator Custom by @Mache275

January 27, 2013December 5, 2012

Only hours after Dan of Mache Customs posted his latest Nike Lebron X customs via his Instagram did @KingJames himself repost them. The idea that caught Lebron James’ attention was the Transformers Devastator themed pair in metallic green and purple. For the most part this was a simple customization as Mache used the options on Nike ID to create the pefect base of green and purple. His touch was the silver panelling painted to look like steel panels that were also given a reflective finish. The colorway was brought together with a simple Decepticon branding on the back heel triangles and embroidered logos on the tongue tags courtesy of @HerbJuice.

Nike Foamposite Pro “Walking on Mars” Custom by SmoothTip

January 27, 2013November 30, 2012

Roberto of SmoothTip Customs conquered the Galaxy custom sneaker this year with arguably the best recreation of the adorned design but this time he reached land with another celestial themed Nike Foamposite Pro. Titled Walking on Mars, this pair of hand painted Foamposites mimics the red cratered surface of our solar systems 4th planet. A mashup of everything from black to brown to yellow and red paint covers the Foamposite upper with solid black and red accents. Each pair ordered will also be accompanied by a print of the shoes as if they were literally on the Red Planet.

South Beach Miami Inspired Nike Lebron 9 low: GourmetKickz vs eXpression Airbrush

November 1, 2013November 29, 2012

The Nike Lebron 8 South Beach is officially 2 years old this month. A way to measure the impact that colorway had on the custom sneaker game does not exist but it surely became the elephant print of 2011 to early 2012 with many a customizers taking the colorway to other shoes. A big impact of that is because customers loved the colorway themselves.
