What sneaker customizers have in common is that they see a unique potential in an existing shoe that the general public may not see. Not to say that Nike hasn’t done highlights in-house stuff, but over the last shopping of years, sneaker customs have risen in popularity and given these customizers a star-status in the sneaker game. But this distinct vision goes beyond colorways and into the realm of design and concepts, so while we haven’t seen too many self-made designs, this sale, build by Brian “Wolfstein” Villanueva, might be the start of a new genre of ‘custom’ sneakers.
According to Brian, the concept of this sale was born in 2008 and focuses on technology and the advancements made by Nike footwear; seen in his ‘Wolfstein’ sale custom are built-in Apple touch-screen displays, electro-luminescent technology, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, built-in charging system, and the recently released Nike+ Technology sensors – all in a futuristic ‘Nike Mag’ styled colorway. The Lunar outsole (the original base model of the shoe is the nike dunks green ranger blue book list price) also acts as the foundation of this next-level design, fitting with the theme of forward-progress tech. A complete look at this custom is right ahead so take a look and let us know if you’d like to see more custom sneaker designs above custom colorways!
