here's the first pair of nike dunks i designed the other week
my idea was to make them a mexico edition using only red white and green
no gum outsoles available on the id programme so i went with red
i also chose red laces as my second set. i think i'll put them in straight away.
( the reason i chose green as first option is that if you choose red, then the nike
stitching on the heel appears in red, as does the stitching on the midsole )
the leather is very soft. much better than the leather nike used to offer on id's
and though there are not a lot of customisation options available, i think
they are really nice kicks... not expensive either.
as you know, i'm pretty much running n7 these days...
( well, there wasn't enough space to stitch 'like a boss' on them )
and here they are with the red laces instead of green...
viva mexico, viva n7.
I had a go at designing some and actually ones completely in brown velvet suede, with matching soles and laces look spot on. putting SN14 on them doesn't have the same ring as "N7" though :-(
ReplyDeleteyou put a capital N on these...
ReplyDeletei think i need to sit down...
do you feel ok?
they don't have the option for lower case on the id's.
ReplyDeleteI got lower case on my bespokes though.
they look like heiniken nike sbs
ReplyDeleteyes, I guess they have a lot of similarities.
ReplyDeletethe differences being:
mine have a green swoosh the same colour as the green parts of the shoe.
green nike stitching on the heel, red lining and red
soles.
the id's don't have a lot of options but my intention was to make a pair in mexico
colours, not to mimic the heinekens.
funnily enough you just made me think the suede id's I had made
remind me of pigeon dunks.
like I said, there aren't a lot of options and nike have probably used all the combinations of colours that work together, so I guess comparisons are kind of
inevitable.
haha yes, how much did these set you back?
