This custom Nike Air Force One Low End Theory piece was done back in 2009 during a 1 on 1 design session. The idea came about from the then current release of the AJ1 ATCQ‘s. The result is the custom Nike AF1 you see here. A great combination of the Low End Theory Album cover art and great technical work by yours truly, Chef of GourmetKickz. I used a “seamless frontal” fabric application to properly lay out as much of the Low End Theory design as possible. This custom sneaker also features an amazing vibrant yellow on the swooshes. This yellow is very stand out and is a trademark color of mine, having been custom mixed. If you are a sneaker artist by the way, you can actually purchase this pre-mixed color from my other website. Enjoy these custom kicks as they are definitely one of my favorites. Also make note of the custom tongue tag after the jump and don’t be afraid to cop a pair for yourself.

Nike Air Force One Supreme I/O | 1 World “Dice K” Diasuke Matsuzaka | 318500-811
The Nike 1 World project linked several Influencers in the sports and fashion cultures with the Nike Air Force 1 Brand. This particular Nike Air Force One Low Supreme Inside-Out is also part of the 1 World series and is the product of Nike x Diasuke Matsuzaka AKA “The Monster” AKA “Dice K”. When given the chance to design an AF1 Matsuzaka hit this one out of the park! He used materials presented to him by Nike that were not normally used on an Air Force. He wanted to create something out of the ordinary with uncommon materials. To accomplish this task he selected white pony hair for the toebox, frontal, and sidewalls of the sneaker. In addition he selected a beaded patent leather for the swoosh and heel tab. And to finish off the sheer absurdity of the this wild sneaker, he decided on orange “dragon scaled” leather for the heel and eyestay. The decision to choose a dragon scale effect for the leather came from his Japanese heritage and that cultures devout involvement of the dragon in art, literature, architecture, mythology and folklore. The finishing touch is the laser etched dragon the heel panel of each sneaker.
