Yo Viene Diego Baby Air Force Ones

November 5th, 2008 by nkats Stored in: Air Force Ones, Custom Sneakers, Nike

I wrote recently about a pair of Baby Air Force Ones created by D@ Prince Customs modeled after Dora the Explorer. D@ Prince also created a pair of baby AF1s based on “Go, Diego, Go,” the cartoon spinoff featuring Dora’s cousin Diego. The Yo Viene Diego AF1s were found at D@ Prince’s NikeTalk post linked here.

While the Dora the Explorer AF1s were basic in design, the Yo Viene Diego AF1s are colorful and active. D@ Prince used orange, yellow, blue and green throughout the shoe to show Diego’s energy as portrayed in the show. Diego is shown running across the right toe box while the show logo is rendered in blue, yellow and orange on the left toe box.

D@ Prince scrawled the name Bryce on the heel in orange to help the future owner find his shoes at school. I am a big fan of the shiny accents added to the tongues because they reflect Diego’s high energy level. D@ Prince seemed to step up his game with the Yo Viene Diego AF1s and I am sure little Bryce was happy with the results.

Dora the Explorer Baby Air Force Ones

November 3rd, 2008 by nkats Stored in: Air Force Ones, Custom Sneakers, Nike

If you haven’t seen the Nickelodeon cartoon “Dora the Explorer,” these baby Air Force One Mids may be the best primer. D@ Prince Customs created these baby AF1s to celebrate Dora and her adventures for a young client. I found these photos at D@ Prince’s latest post on NikeTalk linked here.

The reason why this shoe is successful is that the designer did not get too far away from his muse. Dora’s smiling face is depicted on the right shoe while the show title is set against a green leaf on the left shoe. These images look basic but D@ Prince put his heart and soul into creating these shoes.

D@ Prince finished these shoes with purple toe boxes and pink heel tags to show Dora’s favorite colors. He also added his name just above the outsole to help the lucky recipient remember his skills forever.
