Air Max 97

Midnight Elegance

This custom Air Max 97 is a testament to elegance, featuring a dual-textured midnight navy upper crafted from a mix of smooth and pebbled vegetable-tanned leather. The design is elevated by the earthy tone of chestnut brown accents found on the heel pull, tongue pull, and lace loops, creating a captivating contrast. Metallic copper foil embossed logos adorn the heel, quarter panel, and tongue tag, adding a touch of refined brilliance. A slender strip of iconic elephant print slices through the uniform upper, adding a pop of playful contrast. Completing the design is a fabric heel liner, repurposed from an upcycled blouse, that gives a nod to the elephant print pattern. This colorway combines depth, luxury, and a bit of edge, making it a sophisticated choice for a night on the town.

Dunk Low

The Villain

Have you ever noticed that most comic book villains rock green and purple? Well, this villainous pair of Dunks stays true to the comic book style. The upper features a gorgeous, buttery soft, waxed olive suede. The vamp, quarter and collar are highlighted by a metallic, purple safari print. More purple hues can be found on the flat, faded laces and bright mesh lining. Pops of yellow call attention to the heel and tongue tag. Cut the lights to reveal the glow in the dark soles.

Sunflower

Inspired by the beautiful yellows, browns and greens found in a sunflower, this custom Air Max 1 is in bloom for the summer. The upper features yellow vegetable tanned leather with burnished edges and custom dyed elephant print leather. The tongue tag and heel are branded with a gold foil stamped logo and green embroidery. Brass eyelets adorn the upper eyestay. The interior is lined with a custom dyed lamb skin. The midsole is custom dyed to give it an aged look.
