Sol Sircuz created a pair of Nike Air Force Ones with a ghost theme just in time for Halloween. His client was named Kasper which led the designer to apply a “Casper the Friendly Ghost” theme along with some Halloween colors. While these customs were one-of-a-kind, you can contact Sol Sircuz at solsircuz@hotmail.com or check out his MySpace page linked here if you want to make your own customs.

Sol Sircuz drew “Kasper” on the left toe box as a balling ghost complete with wrist bands and a basketball. He wrote out “Kasper da Ghost” along the heel with a mixture of orange, white and blue paint. The tongues feature vague impressions using gray, blue and orange that really caught my eye.

My favorite part of these Air Force Ones was the small details and accents added after the design was complete. In particular, the blue outline of the gray swoosh makes it stand out from the muted Halloween hues.

Sol was not concerned about the conventions of working with a shoe’s natural boundaries. He was willing to expand his ghost outside of the toe box and eschewed convention to write “Kasper da Ghost” over several colors. These customs show that designers need to get creative with their clients’ specifications, work outside of the box and add their own flavor when making sneaker art.
