Sole Creations customized a pair of Nike Vandals for a client in Michigan who loves the Chicago White Sox. The result is the Chi-City Vandals, a pair of shoes that would make the biggest Carlos Quentin fan smile. I found these photos at the Sole Creations blog on Customsnkr.com linked here.
The designer mixed the Windy City’s environment with the White Sox motif without creating a clunky custom. The heel on the right shoe features the Chicago skyline at dusk complete with puffy clouds and vibrant colors. The left heel shows the same skyline setting against a white background to show the city’s love for the White Sox.
Sole Creations added the Sox logo to the toe box while writing out White Sox in front of each swoosh. The addition of another Sox logo just above the front of each swoosh is a bit cluttered but this minor issue is overcome by the White Sox player hitting a ball along the swoosh’s path. My favorite part of these custom Vandals is the addition of the client’s name on both heels with the “KAK KAK KAK” simulating the echoed sounds of PA announcer Gene Honda.

nice article and dope shoes…
The shoes are awesome! They depict a creativity and passion in the artist that I have yet to see in the shoe customizing arena. The aesthetics are strategic and the colors vibrant. I especially like the fact that the artist not only captured the essence of the team with its logos and colors but also encompassed the rapture of the popular city it belongs to. Perhaps the most impressive facet of the shoes is the fact that the artist chose to go beyond the commercialism of team apparal and characterized the shoes with the customer’s name/initials. This personalized touch coupled with the representation of the team and the city makes for an extremely authentic work of art. I absolutely love the presentation of the shoes with the White Sox box. Very original and creative. I am not a White Sox fan but could quite possibly become one just so I can sport some shoes by Sole Creations
