Free shipping 2010 Custom Nike AF1s from Baysicc Designs

Free shipping 2010 Custom Nike AF1s from Baysicc Designs
RastaCat at Baysicc Designs has turned a pair of Nike Air Force Ones into a mural about life in New York City. The exposed sides of both shoes feature water color murals of the Big Apple skyline. The right shoe shows the bright lights and skyscrapers that people associate with New York City while the left show focuses on structures on a single street.

Baysicc’s homage to New York City features small touches on the toe boxes and heels. The toe boxes continue the water-color effect with depictions of the Statue of Liberty’s face. The heels are given the look of a subway stop with train markers and the words “Times Square” standing out against the black paint. This pair of Air Force Ones is New York from toe to heel.

Check out other offerings by Baysicc Designs here to see if the rest of their projects match up with the NYC Air Force Ones. The time and care put into these one-off shoes should appeal to sneaker fans who are tired of mainstream shoes and sloppy amateur jobs.
A few months back, we told you about a few colorways of the Nike Vintage Terminator that would be coming out this year.
Well the red version is now available. The latest in the Vintage collection, red and white St. John’s University Terminator High is now available at Atmos.
The Georgetown model was already released and now it’s St. John’s turn. These shoes show the vintage signs of aging like creasing, scuffing and yellowing.
Cop both the Georgetown and the St. John’s version at Atmos right for 16,800 yen (about $165 USD) a pair.
The sequence of Nike Denim Dunks shown above shows the end result of a customizer’s afternoon of boredom. The selective use of bleach on these Dunks created large splotches of white set against blue denim. There were already bleach marks on these shoes that created a multi-toned effect after everything was washed and dried.

I think that these custom Dunks are interesting though difficult to imagine wearing around town. The disjointed shapes created by bleach against denim are intriguing but unattractive visually. I am not a huge fan of denim shoes in the first place but denim with different bleach stains just doesn’t work. Boredom can create interesting things but it takes commitment and time on the part of the designer to turn something like bleach into a tool for artistic expression. This designer could make some great stuff in the future if he showed some discipline with bleach, paint and other implements.
These custom Nike SBs were created by an amateur designer whose friend was not keen on the yellow fade underneath the swoosh. You can check out the original shoes after this post for comparison’s sake. I think that the switch from yellow to purple underneath the swoosh alters the appearance of the shoe in a negative way.

I understand that bright yellow is not the favorite color for many sneaker fans. The problem with changing from a contrasting color to a matching color under the swoosh is that the shoe’s signature mark is lost. Another layer of purple paint will turn the back half of these shoes into a big mess.

The designer wanted to model these shoes after the Jordan VII Raptors but I think he missed the mark. There is something to be said for keeping a shoe with garish colors intact if the alternative is creating a mess. I hope that the designer who posted this on Nike Talk improves on his work in the future by thinking about the reasoning behind the manufacturer’s colorways and designs.
