Dragon Air Force Ones

August 29, 2008

Desp One created these custom Air Force Ones for a friend who loves dragons. The designer says that these shoes took two days but they look like they took much longer to complete. I found these pictures on Desp One’s blog on Customsnkr.com linked here.

I am a big fan of Desp One’s approach to designing these Air Force Ones without using the typical dragon image. The dragons drawn on both sides of the Dragon AF1s are detailed and use colors that are fairly subtle. The left shoe features an olive green dragon with yellow accents that is heading toward the toe. This dragon doesn’t know that he is about to make contact with the brown and gray dragon rounding the corner on the right shoe.

It would have been easy for Desp One to phone in these custom Air Force Ones with cheesy images of green dragons. His skills and desire to put out good products did not allow him to take the simplest path to the Dragon AF1s. These shoes are fantastic and I am sure his friend is rocking these shoes all around town.

    i think he should of just went on and painted the top piece of the show. the white is a strong color and kind of overpowers the artwork. but the artwork is dope i gotta say

    he shouldve started the shoe on a black air force.. so there would be no white on the shoe in the first place. but tight art work
