Nike [Till Death Do Us Part] Dunk Low Customs

Soleclean recently created these custom sneakers for his significant other which he named, the Nike “Till death do us apart…” Dunk Lows. He decided to customize a pair of his girl’s old beaters that were mainly used for P.E. after several months of subtle hints that, “stores don’t retail cool shoes in his girlfriend’s size (5)”. The sneakers take on an overall theme of love with the phrase “Till death do us apart…” wrapping around the lace-holes and toe-box, the tongue tags showing a man and women interlocking hands into the form of a heart, and pictures of Soleclean’s girlfriend painted along the back heel. This custom also features a nice blue and black colorway with silver designs placed around the toe-box, a dripping black Nike swoosh, and some cool barbwire designs stretching around the back heel.
