Viperstrike Air Force Ones

I spoke glowingly of Hypethetic’s woven canvas Dunks in yesterday’s posts. The Viperstrike Air Force Ones featured today blow the canvas Dunks out of the water. Aside from a cooler name, the Viperstrikes are more interesting visually with the same quality work from Hypethetic. I found these photos at the Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

Hypethetic started out with a typical pair of Nike Air Force Ones. He wove silver and white strands into a violet backdrop to add a touch of color to this pair of futuristic sneakers. Hypethetic also used a red Nike swoosh to break through the flash of the silver strips.

I imagine that the Viperstrike Air Force Ones were popular at the Adiartist event Hypethetic attended this month. The Viperstrikes required a pair of deft hands, a sharp eye and a hefty supply of patience. Hypethetic is showing other designers that it is possible to get away from the paint to make a great pair of customs. His prolific output lately should help aspiring designers find inspiration for their own work while challenging their skills daily.
