Casey Custom Sneakers worked with Rogue Pictures to customize a pair of Nike Dunks for the upcoming movie Fighting. The Fighting Nike Dunks capture some of the images of this feature film starring Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard. I found these photos at the Casey Customs website linked here.
The tongue features an image of Tatum holding his hands up after a fight which is the picture used on the movie’s posters. The designer used the interior and exterior sides to depict scenes from Fighting including an action shot of Tatum getting ready to punch on the left interior side.
Casey Customs went beyond the movie images to complete the Fighting Nike Dunks. The toe boxes, for example, are made with white and light gray materials that shine when hit with light. The heel wraps are made from light blue denim rather than painted leather to show the rough and tumble life of the fighter. While I cannot speak for Rogue Pictures, I am sure that the Fighting Nike Dunks will help promote the movie ahead of its April 24th release because it reflects the hard-scrabble nature of the film.
Sideview Customs customized some Nike Dunks in February with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme. You can see Sideview’s previous TMNT work linked here complete with Michelangelo’s orange colors. I found the follow-up Raphael Nike Dunks at the Sideview Customs Nike Talk post linked here.
The designer brought back the detailed green scales around toes and heel wraps that made the TMNT Dunks successful. Sideview Customs kept the middle panel and toe box yellow to make the green and red elements stand out. Raphael’s red bandanna is honored with matching Nike symbols, shoe laces and midsoles.

The TMNT Dunks by Sideview Customs played on the humor brought by Michelangelo to this group of crime-fighting turtles. The designer did a great job matching the Raphael Nike Dunks to the mood of its muse. The Raphael Nike Dunks fit well with the turtle’s brooding manner by keeping the colors simple and the design clean.
A first-time designer with the nickname PONR in this WGM posted the Robot Zebra Nike Dunks at the Nike Talk thread linked here. While the Robot Zebra Nike Dunks may need a bit of cleanup, PONR in this WGM did a solid job for his first time. We can see where these custom Dunks are heading even if the finer touches have not been sharpened.
The designer painted the middle panel, Nike swoosh and heel tag black as a solid base for the “robot zebra” print. He painted the remainder of these custom sneakers silver with black stripes to create a futuristic take on the familiar zebra print. The tongue was kept its original white color which may be changed as PONR in this WGM revises the look of the Robot Zebra Dunks.
A closer inspection of these custom Dunks show a few spots where the black and silver paint did not quite cover up the original paint job. The designer has recognized these problems and I hope that he builds from this experience by creating more sneakers in the future. I like the artistic view that PONR in this WGM took with these Dunks, a vision that will become more refined with practice.
