Title: Custom Kicks
Post by: d00m on January 06, 2008, 12:43:29 AM
So, it's an art form right? Well, this is basically the first REAL custom job I've done with professional paint. All my others simply included fabric modifications. I made this to match an ESP hoodie of mine. (I'm providing links because the pictures are sort of big...)

So, here's what I started out with (Nike Air Captivate):

And about 15 hours later:

Here's the original design concept so you can see what I added/removed/changed:

Tell me what you think please. I thought these turned out okay... My fine detail work could stand for some improvement. If you have any questions please ask and I'll answer. :) Thanks for looking!

They actually look really nice.

"Kicks" are slang for sneakers, derived from the fact that you kick off your sneakers usually
