JGoods: Nike Dunk Custom King of the Jungle

August 12, 2009August 12, 2009

Minnesota shoe customizer JGoods has been working with NikeID. Yes Nike, how often does that happen? Goes to show clean line work and a distinct style can get you noticed. From JGoods site:

These sneakers are the first collaboration between JGoods and NikeiD. The Dunk High is featured in a fresh water colorway with a four color swirl pattern on the toe and lace guard. The King of the Jungles are finished with a set of JGoods laces and a lion head on the heel panel drawing inspiration from the Netherlands National Football Club. Once again, JGoods unwavering attention to detail has created a sneaker which appears to be factory made. These are another one of one created for G. Lyons which will be featured later this month at the MAGIC show in Las Vegas.

BlackYard: Meat is Neat Nike Air Force 1

August 10, 2009

In a recent post about Revive Customs, who used a “muscle tissue” pattern in his custom Hell Raiser Nike Dunks, I said the muscle tissue alone would be cool to have all over a shoe. Well here you go they were just made: Created during the Art Clash 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland by illustration and graphic design group BlackYard. Titled “Meat is Neat” they used the design of a butcher’s meat cutting chart on one shoe and the muscle tissue on the other. As well they made an actual butcher’s meat chart of the Nike Air Force 1 that is distressed and brown looking like it came right from a butcher’s shop. The laces even are a red and white twine a butcher would use to tie up an order of meat. Awesome! Check back tomorrow for more customs made at the 2009 Art Clash.
