Fresh and Fly has released a pair of Nike P-Rods featuring new accents and a gator-skin effect. The designer painted the Nike swoosh red to match the inner lining. This step was likely the least difficult in transforming these hot sneakers into an example of custom design innovation.

The imprints on the dark gray suede shown below are created through a wood burning process. The designer took a chance on ruining the P-Rods with this technique but he managed to pull it off. The gator-skin look on the dark gray plays off the smoothness of the light gray suede to give another layer of complexity to these shoes.
