Where to buy Dreamscape Nike Dunks 2.0

Where to buy Dreamscape Nike Dunks 2.0
I wrote last December about the Dreamscape Nike Dunks created by Diversitile Custom Clothing. Diversitile was overwhelmed by emails from custom sneaker fans who wanted to get their hands on another version of the Dreamscape Dunks. The Dreamscape Nike Dunks 2.0 were posted this week at the Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The base color on the Dreamscape Nike Dunks 2.0 is orange but Diversitile went wild with a variety of other colors. The essence of the original Dreamscapes was the swirl of colors that bedazzled the viewer. Diversitile pumped up the volume in terms of his color palette by using brighter and clearer reds, blues and yellows on these customs. The designer kept the black toe box and middle panel as well as the white Nike swoosh for a little respite from the visual explosion.

Diversitile added a little surprise to the sophomore versions of the Dreamscape Dunks with a glow-in-the-dark heel. As the lights go down, the Dreamscape Dunks evolve from a jungle of colors to a more delicate blend of greens and blues around the heel.

Diversitile Custom Clothing is participating in the 2009 Clash of the Customizers, a 32-designer custom shoe tournament running here and sponsored by 3R Customs. Diversitile’s first-round victory over MAS favorite Stizo Custom Kicks was achieved with the Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs. I found these photos at the Diversitile Custom Clothing Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs feature Street Fighter character Akuma training in a faraway place. Akuma is pictured from the front on the left exterior with a pink glow of energy reflected against his body. Diversitile showed Akuma from behind on the right exterior with his symbol glowing yellow and orange along his back. The interior sides feature mountains, dark skies and lightning to put the viewer in the right mood to see Akuma in training.

The designer completed the Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs by mixing the Akuma symbol with the Diversitile logo on the tongue. Diversitile is still waiting for his second-round opponent but the Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs look like a championship contender. You can get a hold of Diversitile Custom Clothing by emailing getintouch@diversitile.com if you are interested in the designer’s latest work. I will cover additional entries in the 2009 Clash of the Customizers in the next week.
Ill Ego Customs came out with the Mystique Obsession Nike Dunks in January but they have caught fire in recent months. The designer has gotten some buzz on the Nike Talk post linked here where I found these images. The Mystique Obsession Dunks show the versatility and creativity brought by Ill Ego Customs to a simple customizing project.

The centerpiece of the Mystique Obsession Dunks is the handmade zipper applied by the designer. The teal zipper may seem to stand apart from the darker hues on these shoes but it adds another dimension to the design. Ill Ego used purple laces run through the black eyelets to complement the rainbow of faded colors running across these sneakers.

The designer showed his exemplary fading skills on the heel wrap, middle panel and toe box. Ill Ego starts with orange paint at the top of the heel wrap and faded to magenta by the back portion of the middle panel. The middle panel transitions from magenta to purple and ocean blue, leading to a deep ocean blue on the toe box. Ill Ego Customs added white blobs on the toe box and behind the Nike swoosh to apply a final layer of complexity to the Mystique Obsession Nike Dunks.
