The Nike Dunk Highs pictured in this post were created by Dezism to honor one of rock’s greatest guitarists. Dezism’s love of Jimi Hendrix is shown in the great detail and care given to these inspired custom sneakers. I am a big fan of the arrangement of colors and words on the Hendrix Dunk Highs.
The use of yellow and burgundy is perfect for depicting the bursts of excitement and chilled energy used by Jimi Hendrix. The guitarist’s name is written in large letters across the toe set against a burgundy backdrop. The remaining space is filled with names of Hendrix’s great songs including “Little Wing,” “Hey Joe” and the debut album title “Are You Experienced?”.
My favorite part of the Jimi Hendrix Dunks is the image of Jimi singing lyrics while the sun emerges behind his head. You can contact Dezism and look at his past projects at the MySpace page linked here.
