Hektik Kicks was highlighted recently on MyAirShoes for a pair of Tazmanian Devil customs. The designer’s previous project was a pair of custom Air Force Ones modeled on two of Marvel Comics’ most beloved characters. The Captain America/Incredible Hulk Forces were found on Hektik’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The detail work on these comic-inspired Forces are impressive for a young designer. The right shoe features a fantastic depiction of the Incredible Hulk during one of his rages, screaming out at anyone who looks at these customs. The left shoe shows Captain America holding up his red/white/blue shield in defense of his fellow superheroes.

Hektik thought outside of the box when adding some finishing touches to these Forces. The Air logo on the outsole matches the color of the superhero; the right shoe has a green Air logo while the left shoe logo matches Captain America’s deep blue uniform. These colors are matched further to the interior swoosh to put the cherry on top of these customs. I am a huge fan of Hektik’s work on these shoes because the characters stand out against a simple white background rather than competing with other design elements.

Mo Money decided to take on one of Marvel Comics’ most underrated characters with his latest custom sneakers. The Human Torch Air Force Ones are based on more recent depictions of the Human Torch by Marvel. You can see how closely the designer matched his inspiration (a copy of Human Torch) by looking at the photo above.

The picture after this post shows the detailed work done by Mo Money. He did a great job replicating the devilish look on the Human Torch’s face without sacrificing fine details. The red/black colorway is fairly standard in the sneaker world but Mo Money adds his own flavor to these Air Force Ones.

These pictures were found on Mo Money’s blog at Customsnkr.com linked here. I am always a big fan of the little things added by sneaker artists to make their shoes different. Mo Money added the word “Marvel” above the outsole on both shoes in the same lettering used by the comic book giant. These shoes are fun to look at and show Mo Money’s ability to execute a fantastic design.

My entries at the beginning of this week have a comic book theme without any intention on my part. The post yesterday featured a pair of Stan Smiths based on Silver Surfer that were a throwback to the golden age of comic books. This entry comes courtesy of Sekure D who brings us to a newer character in the Marvel Comics universe.

The Carnage Nike Dunks are based on the symbiotic villain featured in Spiderman and Fantastic Four comics since 1992. Sekure D used the red and black colors of the Carnage suit to make these Nike Dunks look like costume pieces from the next Spider Man movie. The red and black pattern is broken up with solid black panels on the toe box and underneath the Nike swoosh to add some variety to the Carnage Dunks.

These Carnage Nike Dunks are available in size 11 and cost $325USD. Anyone interested in wearing these nice sneakers can check out the Sekure D website linked here.

Designer Too Nice from TN Customs has customized a pair of Adidas Stan Smiths based on one of Marvel Comics’ most popular characters. These custom sneakers were crafted for the designer’s friend who is a big fan of the Silver Surfer. I love the style of these shoes which looks exactly like a comic book cover.

Too Nice placed an action picture of Silver Surfer on the left sneaker. This image shows this intergalactic character piercing the darkness of space on his silver surfboard. The right shoe replicates the Marvel Comics print used at the top of each issue of Silver Surfer.

I think that Too Nice and TN Customs went a long way toward repairing the image of Silver Surfer after the less-than-thrilling Fantastic Four sequel last summer. You can check out Too Nice’s work on other comic-inspired sneakers by heading to the website here.
