JWDANKLEFS presented his latest customs, a pair of blue/gray Air Max Ones, in the NikeTalk post linked here. The plain white Air Max Ones are shown below this post to contrast against the work done by the designer.

By looking at the original colorway of these shoes, you can see that JWDANKLEFS did not go overboard with his work. His gray middle panel and heel are understated but work well with the glossy blue paint wrapping around the toe box. While comments on NikeTalk were critical of the shine coming off the blue paint, I think the glossy effect adds some flavor to these shoes.

Another element of the designer’s work is the addition of blue paint to the tongue. The original tongue has a shiny silver effect over white Nike lettering. JWDANKLEFS completed these sneakers by filling in the white letters with blue paint. We take the blue lettering for granted but it shows the designer’s vision that he thought to match the tongue with the rest of the sneaker.
