Sekure D created the Nike Dunk Highs posted above for his own use. The Swamp Thing Nike Dunk Highs are a labor of love for the shoe designer who put in long hours after starting these shoes awhile back. The result of this hard work is a shoe that lives up to Swamp Thing’s misunderstood character as portrayed in comic books and graphic novels.
The shoe’s design brings the viewer up close and personal with Swamp Thing. Sekure D painted moss, grass, flowers and tree branches on the shoe to simulate the character’s natural facade. The designer faced the challenge of representing Swamp Thing without making the shoe look like a typical nature scene.
This challenge is unique to a character like Swamp Thing who does not share the chiseled features of Batman, Superman and Spiderman. Sekure D seems to have surmounted this challenge by adding dimension and detail to every element of these shoes.
There are additional photos after this post including a cover from the Alan Moore “Swamp Thing” graphic novel that inspired the shoe. Readers can also check out Sekure D’s blog here for customizing information and past shoe designs.
