The Most Memorable Custom Sneakers of 2013 Part 2

Nike Kobe 8 “What The Kobe” by Mache and Relevant

Chances are more people wear all these hyped up Nikes casually than for their intended purpose. That might not have been what sparked this idea but it surely gives reason for these and customs in general for that matter, right? Mache teamed up with Relevant Customs to carry on the animal concepts of the Kobe 7 to the Kobe 8. Skins of 6 different animals were used in this full reconstruction. Using a process mostly only seen on older retro models this recon broke new ground on whats possible in customization being a contemporary technical basketball shoe.
