http://brassmonki.wordpress.com/ this guy's work blows my mind.... i'd love to commission a work from him... but i'd never wear em... probably lock em up in a glass display case
It's pretty cool but I would expect it to be pretty expensive to get it customized. Like hell it would ever be wore, it's going on the display box.
I'd wear the C3P0 one if it didn't have the letters imprinted on it. All the other ones are too tacky to wear in public.
Oh wow! I wonder how much these cost.... When I went to China earlier this year, I saw this shop that were doing something similar except he was drawing on chucks, t-shirts instead of dunks Designs are 60 pounds; Cheaper than i thought http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=30165700759&ref=ts
omg, nice find.. even tho im not a nike type guy, ( i wear like chucks and a suave nike mostly) but these work makes me wanna go some of these and conver..
Hmm.. seems like he took it off. From memory he said the designs only were around 60 pounds (the facebook link), and then I checked out his twitter, he mentioned that he's selling pairs of shoes with design at around 120pounds+. I also did a price check on other custom shoe artists, this guys pricing is actually quite good
Hey, I emailed him about the pricing and the amount of time it takes for a pair (he responded in like a day) and his response was : "As for the prices, yes, the vary, due to complexity it would be unfair to have one set price. So from £120 to £300. And each pair from start to finish, takes 3 weeks to complete, this is between other projects aswell, so maybe 10 hours per pair! Dan" I guess it varies with what you requested ! Still doesn't exactly sound like the amount I can afford at the moment. =(
The artwork is good, but from a design perspective most of these just look like tacked on overlays. The Captain America and 2Pac pairs are the only ones I'd consider to be good looking. =\
