Best Nike Dunk Hi Supreme Spark

Best Nike Dunk Hi Supreme Spark
The reason i really like these shoes is because there feature my two favorite colors red and blue and reminds me of a snow cone. Here’s a look at the Nike Dunk Hi Supreme Spark, designed by Eddie Cruz of Undefeated and DJ Clark Kent as part of Nike’s West Collection. They sport a preodminantly blue upper, along with a scaly, reptile-like texture along the base. As of now, they are scheduled for a December 2009 release.
Alright heres a little treat for you skateboarding fans out there. These customs are a skaters dream, a reconstructed Dunk SB low made of distressed white leather and grip tape. Bringing it full circle to the original intent of the SB, grip tape is the perfect, subtle accent to this classic shoe. Brad Douglas reinforced the grip tape with leather and contrasted it with threading. The subtle zebra print inner lining set the whole design off into a state of perfection.
Champate posted his latest work, the Jekyll and Hide Collection, at the Nike Talk thread linked here. The designer used the tormented nature of Dr. Jekyll and his alter ego, Mr. Hyde, to create diametrically opposed custom sneakers. You can check out individual photos of each custom after the post.

Champate was particularly proud of the fact that both custom Dunks used in this collection were reconstruction projects. The Dr. Jekyll Nike Dunks feature purple shoe laces, black toes and wraps as well as beautiful blue/white imagery on the middle panels. The Mr. Hyde Nike Dunks have white toes and collars, red middle panels and a chain link fence design on the heel wrap.

The Jekyll and Hyde Collection benefits greatly from Champate’s dedication to detail. The Dr. Jekyll Dunks feature black denim sown to the Nike swooshes and toes to add a different dimension to these customs. The chain link fences on the Mr. Hyde Dunks are rendered perfectly by the steady hands of Champate. Champate rebuilt a duo of Nike Dunks that cannot be separated and critiqued individually without losing the larger theme.
Dont real like pink kicks but these caught my eyes immediately. I would never buy some pink dunks or any other pink pair of shoes but if i had to pick one it would be these. Thing the most impresses about these Dunks is that the bubbles are reminiscent of a classic Nike Safari print. The bubble detail is extremely clean and unique, however, the pink looks a little flat to me. On the other hand, with how busy the print is, anything else on the toe cap or mid might might turn the shoe from interesting to ugly.
Saturday was the release of the Blue Lobsters’. The Blue Lobsters are Skateboard shop Concepts’ second collab with Nike SB. If you remember last year they teamed up to release the Red Lobsters. But not all the attention was focused on the release. A lot of the attention was focused on the feet of CNCPTS store owner Tarik Hassan who was spotted wear a never before seen version of the Lobsters. Hassan was wearing a Yellow version. They are rumored to have been limited to 36 pairs given to friends, family and a few lucky people standing in line. Stay tuned for more info regarding the Yellow Lobsters. More pics after the jump.
My first reaction when i saw the customs was OMG, Where can i get these!! Im pretty sure the most of your reactions will be the same for the amazing Nike Dunks Customs. These beauties were designed by Yoa Kustoms, paying homage to not only his character scheme but Luke Chueh’s overall design aesthetic, employing minimal color to highlight the simple animals in ill-fated situations. Chueh’s character is featured on the shoe as well as the insole’s, against a simple, faded background. Also, the blood dripping from the heel as well as the swoosh additionally celebrates Chueh’s artform and sets the design off.
