I was a big fan of D@ Prince Custom’s first customs that I wrote about earlier this week (linked here). I am not sure I can say the same thing for his sophomore effort which was a pair of Nike Blazer Mids called “Aqua Zebra.”
These pictures were found at D@ Prince Customs’ latest post on Nike Talk found in this link. There is little rhyme or reason to the Aqua Zebras with colors and design elements thrown all over the place. The designer used crazy elements like a zebra print swoosh, turquoise background and glittery shapes to dazzle the eye. The result of these efforts, however, is a pair of Blazers that look like a school craft project.
The basic turquoise/purple colors used by D@ Prince Customs would have been sufficient to turn these Blazers into a nice pair of custom sneakers. I am a fan of the hand-painted black brand written above the outsole though this is not enough to redeem these shoes. I can see the designer working hard to get a fresh design on the market but the Aqua Blazers fell a bit short.
