The first pair of galaxy theme inspired Nike Foamposite Pro customs by SmoothTip were pretty much unsurpassed by any other painted attempts at the look. To finish off his year he stepped up the look with added colors and a more detailed recreation of the heavens. If that wasn’t enough a brighter glow was achieved on the soles.
With original intent of the design being inspired by geometrical backgrounds of early 1990s Skybox NBA basketball cards Mache Customs was told these actually look reminiscent of a certain Nike Air Max 90. That AM90 was the Hurley x Nike Air Max 90 “Phantom 4D” limited to 500 pairs and designed by artist Dalek in 2011. Upon close inspection the look between both shoes is similar. Using the Nike Lebron X Dunkman as his base shoe this pair by Mache shifts colors depending on the angle light hits them from green to turquoise to purple with the lines alternating hues too. These are a 1 of 1 and due to their intensive nature it took to make them Mache might not be making them available for a limited run…unless the public demands it!
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!
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.
