Customize me: Nike x Yoa Customs Edward Scissorhands

edwardscissohands-5-530x397

I personally thought this was brilliant! I have long been a fan of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp’s collaborations and seeing these just blew me away. Amazing!

I found this customized pair over at YoaKustoms. Obviously, the artist was inspired by the film and therefore went to incorporate these in his sneakers.  Edward Scissorhands’ portrait looked striking but disturbing as well. Anyone familiar with the movie would say there is an eerie accuracy here that is brilliant but at the same time disconcerting because of the deep scars that resulted from Edward’s own disability. The tongue tag features a yellow butterfly which was an ubiquitous element in the movie posters.

Customize Me: Nike Air Max Lebron 7

October 7th, 2009 by sherylem Stored in: Air Max, Nike, Zoom Lebron

A forum member over at niketalk.yuku.com was “bored” while attending his Digital Graphics class so to keep himself from falling asleep and getting a reprimand, he decided to design his personal colorway for Nike Air Max Lebron VII edition, and added more of foam, too! The result is shown above, neat huh? I thought it’s even better than Lebron 7 edition own blue/black/white colorway, seen here.

As for his Foam versions, the colorways are totally edgy in this pearl/black, blood-red/black, and citrus/black choices.

What a fine result of boredom, don’t you agree?

These dunks look really Hot! The feature that puts it over the top is golden stars on the side panels. Inspired by the Lucky Dunks and the Supreme Dunks, Soulful Apparel recreated the two shoes that most of us have been lusting after since 2003. Using the traditional gold stars and classic Supreme lace locks, and mixing it with the coloring of the Lucky dunks, these came out perfect.

These Dr. Doom inspired dunks are smoking! This pair of Nike Dunk Highs feature a Dr. Doom theme, which include metal platted designs on the toe box, lacing tabs, and ankle area. The quarter panels feature a picture of Dr. Doom’s face, with the mask on of course. Small details including rust spots on the metal platted armour and screws are a bonus.

Even though im not from Paris i would rock the hell out of these, they will look even better if your walking on the streets of paris with these kicks. Miz has been customizing kicks since the late 90’s, becoming infamous for his stellar graphic and paint work. Only 220 pairs were made and sold at select shops in Paris. The detail work on the Miz dunks is exceptional, as is how closely they resemble the originals.

Rip Hamilton Customs

June 25th, 2009 by Sneak3rAddict Stored in: Air Force Ones, Custom Sneakers, Nike

It started with a Sharpie marker and pair of sneakers inside a freshman dorm. After years of fanatical research and development, Tyler Way  finally sold himself on his product. Tyler built a network with the most powerful names in sports. Artist Tyler Way now custom designs and freehand paints sneakers for clients including Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton, Worldwide Wes, and a MVP pair for LeBron James.

These are one of six pairs T.Way Customs has done for Rip, and out of all of them, the most special. After his normal process of stripping the coating, and layering thin layers of paint onto the leather, he freehanded all of the art work, sans stencils and tape, to create a true masterpiece.

Grip Tape Dunks Customs

June 24th, 2009 by Sneak3rAddict Stored in: Custom Sneakers, Dunks, Nike

Alright heres a little treat for you skateboarding fans out there. These customs are a skaters dream, a reconstructed Dunk SB low made of distressed white leather and grip tape. Bringing it full circle to the original intent of the SB, grip tape is the perfect, subtle accent to this classic shoe. Brad Douglas reinforced the grip tape with leather and contrasted it with threading. The subtle zebra print inner lining set the whole design off into a state of perfection.

Nike Dunk Bubblegum High Customs

June 23rd, 2009 by Sneak3rAddict Stored in: Custom Sneakers, Dunks, Nike

Dont real like pink kicks but these caught my eyes immediately. I would never buy some pink dunks or any other pink pair of shoes but if i had to pick one it would be these. Thing the most impresses about these Dunks is that the bubbles are reminiscent of a classic Nike Safari print. The bubble detail is extremely clean and unique, however, the pink looks a little flat to me. On the other hand, with how busy the print is, anything else on the toe cap or mid might might turn the shoe from interesting to ugly.
