Type of Custom Work
Nike Roshe Run “Snakeskin” Custom by Emilio Zuniga
Nike Roshe Runs have continued to grow in popularity since their successful launch last year. The model went from basic colorways in limited quantities to what now seems an endless array of shades, patterns, and materials. Jeremy Hedin, better known as @whatthekicks, commissioned Emilio “PK” Zuniga to create a pair that transcended what we’ve seen so far from the running shoe.
Nike Lebron X “Tommy Boy” by Revive Customs
When Evan of Revive Customs is not painting, you can probably find him around Brooklyn, digging in crates to find the perfect vinyl for his collection. He loves music almost as much as he loves sneakers and a glimpse at his eclectic mix of records verifies that. Somewhere amongst Issac Hayes’ “Hot Buttered Soul,” The Chamber Brothers “New Generation,” and Quincy Jones’ “Walking In Space” lies the inspiration for this pair.
Nike Dunk High ‘Mister Outlaw’ by Sekure D
Sekure D has a painting style that is unmistakable. His latest creation, a pair of Nike Dunk Highs, was created for a DJ in Dubai named Mister Outlaw with the request that the pair had a “graffiti feel but was still classy and clean.” The result is this subdued color palette (compared to Sekure D’s previous work) of black, white, and grey tones, with pops of gold on the swooshes, mid-panels, and heels.
Nike Lebron X Wu Tang Clan Swarm by SoleKeepa Customs
Sacramento, California based customizer SoleKeepa Customs brings the legend of the Wu Tang Clan to the Nike Lebron X. What started off as the Black Diamond colorway of the Lebron 10 was given a strictly single color addition of yellow throughout. Of course any experienced artist, especially sneaker customizers know going from dark to light needed a base coat of white to start due to yellows usual level of transparency.
Nike Dunk Untit1ed by GroundBreaker Customs
How else will you accomplish a goal if you don’t push yourself out of your comfort zone? Ask Demetrius Mensah of GroundBreaker Customs and he’ll tell you. Demetrius chose to make his latest pair of customs be a challenge in another step forward to customizing a pair of kicks through the decon-recon process. As someone who has been customizing coming up on three years now he was unsatisfied with the lack creativity in his work, wanted to start commanding more respect from his sneaker customizer peers and overall just kick GB up a notch. What did he do? These Nike Dunks titled Untit1ed.
Air Jordan IV Trinidad James by DeJesus Customs
Inspiration comes from all places. For DeJesus Customs their latest custom work comes inspired by the way of eccentric rapper Trinidad James and his look from the video for his single All Gold Everything along with the work of another sneaker customizer. What started as an all white Pure Money $ AJ IV is now titled T.Jame$ 4 featuring an hand painted upper of bright red for the most part.
Batman vs The Joker Custom Painted Vans Shoes by MonsterMacDesigns
A post sharing the completed customization work from MonsterMacDesigns is long long long over due. This recently finished pair of Batman vs The Joker Vans by the customizer Jordan “MonsterMac” McMahon is cream of the crop when it comes to custom hand painted Vans sneakers.
