Nike Air Max 90 “Nerves”
August 17, 2008
Novice designer JBF promoted these custom Air Max 90s in the Nike Talk post linked here. This first entry into the world of custom sneakers is called “Nerves.” JBF uses spare design elements to replicate the look and feel of nerves in the human body.
The designer used a red backdrop to add some color to these shoes without overwhelming the black nerves that were carefully painted. The nerves are drawn from midpoint to midpoint on both shoes before fading away slowly as they approach the toe boxes. Every reader should be able to notice JBF’s attention to detail by looking at the interconnectivity of the nerves. These thin black lines negotiate tight spaces and glide gracefully across the shoe due to JBF’s steady hand.
I am a big fan of JBF’s “Nerves” because they are created with a fine touch instead of an explosion of color. This designer should maintain his bare aesthetic in future shoes to develop a reputation on sites like MyAirShoes and Nike Talk.
