Nike “Saw” Dunk High Custom Sneaker

Nike Saw Dunk High Custom SneakerImagine suddenly awaking to find yourself trapped in a disgusting industrial bathroom and chained to rusty pipes. A rotting corpse loosely clutching a handgun and a mini-cassette recorder lays between you and some strange man that’s  chained to the opposite side of the room. You and the stranger both soon discover cassette tapes placed in your pockets, labeled “Play Me”, which delivers some disturbing messages……..

If this sounds familiar, then you’ve probably seen the 2004 Australian horror film, Saw. Since the films first appearance in movie theaters almost five years ago, the Saw movie has built a strong film franchise that includes a total of five films and a sixth film set to release in October 2009.

Mizzee Customs recently created this custom sneaker based on the original Saw film, which he calls, the “Saw” Dunk High. The sneaker features a black & white leather upper with black on black chains that wrap around the front to the back, black eyelets, croc skin lace buckles and a pair of silver door knocker-esque rings on the heel. The right shoe displays artwork based on the reversed bear trap Amanda wore (which also was on the first promotional movie poster), and the left shoe has artwork depicting the trademark Jigsaw Puppet.  See detailed pictures, the movie trailer, and poster of the first Saw movie.

Nike “American Native” Dunk High Customs

Nike American Native Dunk High CustomsAmerican Eagles, and their feathers, are viewed as sacred symbols within many indigenous Native American communities. They are honored with great care and shown the deepest respect. They represent honesty, truth, majesty, strength, courage, wisdom, power and freedom. They’re also believed to have a  special connection to God.

In honor of the Native Americans and their strong bond with the Eagles, Mateo Acrylics customized these Nike Dunks, which he calls, the  “American-Native” Dunk High. The words “Native” & “Americans” are used in reverse order to reflect the sneaker’s unique design,  instead of using earth tones, the American colors of red, white, and blue are used throughout  shoe.

The sneaker features a black/red/blue glossy finish with detailed eagle feathers etched on the side panels and some elegant graphics. Mateo also used  the wings of the Adidas x Jeremy Scott “JS Wings” to replicate eagle wings and decorated them in a faded airbrush pattern.

The “American Native” Nike Dunk High is now available for purchase in a size 9.5 U.S. If anyone is interested in buying this custom sneaker then please contact Mateo Acrylics on his MySpace page or via his email address listed below.

Nike “The Real Venom” Dunk High Customs

Nike The Real Venom Dunk High CustomsOur friendly neighborhood Spider-man, time after time finds himself pitted against some of the most notorious evil doers to walk the busy streets of NYC. At this moment, several may come to mind, Sandman, Dr. Octopus, Green Goblin, or even the Kingpin. However, none of them can hold a candle to a certain super villain that matches our trusted Webslinger’s power, tic for tack. This menacing figure is none other then the result of an alien symbiote and Peter Parker’s archrival, Eddie Brock, combining as one to form the villainous creature known as Venom.

In honor of this sinister character, Twitch Customs designed & created this custom sneaker that he calls, the “The Real Venom” Dunk High, as a reference to the misrepresentation that he felt was displayed by the recent Venom Dunk High release.

The sneaker features a textured black leather base that imitates the gooey, almost liquid-like symbiote form trying to consume the shoe. An epic image of Venom rearing his jaws, flashing his razor sharp teeth, and extending his long salivating tongue covers the sides and heel. In addition, detailed blue/white spiderwebs fill the side panels and toe box, hints of  red are found on the sole/inner lining/tongue, and there’s  a pair of black laces added to finish them off.

“The Real Venom” Nike Dunk High is now available for purchase in a size 11 U.S. If anyone is interested in buying this custom sneaker then please contact Twitch Customs on his Myspace page or via his email address listed below.

Nike “Liquid Swords” Dunk High Customs

Nike Liquid Swords Dunk High CustomsGZA, also known as, “The Genius,” was one of the founding members of the infamous, seminal hip hop group the Wu-Tang Clan. This group first began with just three members, RZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and of course, himself, but a few years later grew to a clan of nine. GZA was pushing into the limelight of the music industry with the success of the Wu-Tang Clan first album, Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers and this fueled his newfound fan base to flock to record stores everywhere for his solo album, Liquid Swords.

Logic, a very talented sneaker artist, happens to be a big fan of GZA’s Liquid Swords album and recently created this custom Nike Dunk High in its honor. The Dunk High has an overall design based solely on the artwork displayed on the album’s original cover that DC Comics chief artist, Denys Cowan, designed.

One shoe shows a man attacking another personal with a chained sword while the other shoe is decked out with a checkerboard pattern and the Wu-Tang Clan logo “G” along the heel. In addition, there’s ostrich-like material on the Nike swoosh and heel as well as Wu-Tang Clan logos on the tongue tags.

Currently, this “Liquid Sword” Nike Dunk High is available for purchase in a size 10.5 U.S. If anyone is interested in buying the custom sneaker then please contact Logic on his MySpace page listed below.
