BlackYard: Meat is Neat Nike Air Force 1

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.

DIVERSITILE – METAL DR.DOOM NIKE DUNK

Custom Dr. Doom Nike Dunks were created by Diversitile earlier this year. This version 2.0 is very similar except for a few small changes: more action shots of Dr. Doom and these are cool in the dark. Read on to see what I mean about the dark.

REVIVE CUSTOMS: Hellraiser Nike Dunk High

Detail without going overboard. One key to a great aesthetically pleasing custom shoe is to have detailed graphics, painting, engraving but not on the entire shoe, some panels should be left one single color. That was exactly what Revive Customs did on his latest pair inspired by the movie Hellraiser. This pair was the first installment in a series dedicated to Revive’s favorite horror movie directors first was Cliver Barker. The amount of detail on these are incredible. One part that would look awesome as the lone feature of a shoe is the muscle tissue pattern on the upper heel.
