Fresh off the heels of this last custom creation, the “Grip Tape” SB Dunk Low, Brad Douglas has already moved on to his next custom sneaker, this “Basket Weaved” SB Dunk Mid. This sneaker was actually a personal project that he’s been meaning to finish for awhile now, and just recently he was able to found all the materials needed to bring the design to life.

This “Basket Weaved” SB Dunk Mid features an upper made of purple distressed leather and luscious, brown basket weave leather with light brown stitching throughout the shoe. Other key details include, a black suede Nike swoosh and inner lining, and a tongue stuffed with 1/2 inch foam.

Brad Douglas, the same person that shocked Supra fans everywhere with his “Zip It Up!” Supra Skytop, just got finished creating this wonderful pair of the “Grip Tape” SB Dunk Low Customs.

Normally, grip tape is used by skateboarders to add more friction to their skateboards and/or longborads for additional control. However, Brad’s local skate shop asked if he could apply the grip tape to a pair of  SB Dunks, which resulted in the creation of these sick custom sneakers.

The sneaker features an upper made of predominately distressed white leather with sections of grip tape on the tongue, sides, toe, and around the ankle. White threading was used throughout the upper and to the maker’s surprise, blended in with the leather nicely and created a smooth “perforated contrast” stitching look. To top off the customs, Brad added some unique zebra fabric on the inner lining and tossed on a pair of black laces. See detailed pictures after the jump.
