The dopest Air Forces I've ever laid eyes on 👀

You may remember that a little under a month ago I posted about my custom Nike React Vision shoes that I designed online. Now that Christmas has passed, I finally have them and love my shoes more than I imagined I would. This also means I can finally reveal the second pair of shoes that I designed back then. I had to hold off on showing these shoes because they were planned to be a surprise gift for Hive account@flowerbaby. Luckily she loves the shoes and we both are happy with our new kicks.

I decided to go with low-top Air Force Ones for her. She loves the pair of Air Forces that she has had for the past year, so I knew she would be cool with this style. The thing I was worried about was whether or not my favorite colors would translate to her loving the show or wishing it had different colors. I created my design, ordered, and then crossed my fingers and toes for good luck.

As you can see, I went with a black base with green and blue accents. I thought about keeping the entire base color solid black, but ultimately decided upon the black and white smokey look on the back portion of the shoe.

The green and blue are so striking and the translucent bottom of the sole just makes me so happy. These shoes are 100% something I could see myself wearing. It wasn't easy to gift these, but I wouldn't want to give them to anybody else besides Hive account@flowerbaby.

Seeing my girl wear these just reminds me how awesome she really is. Not just anybody has the courage to wear something this bright. These shoes really stand out in a big way. The crazy thing is these are 1 of 1, which means no other shoe in the world looks exactly like these. That is one of the biggest perks of Nike By You.

Not all shoes offer the best color choices, but luckily the Air Forces had plenty of options which I enjoyed tremendously. I was worried that I'd get 95% done with these and then find out that the last piece wasn't going to work out. Luckily there is a lot of flexibility with the Air Force design that has been around for years.

If you look closely, I inscribed a hidden message on both tongues. The left one reads Hannah Loves Dalton and the right one says Dalton Loves Hannah. It is mutual love, therefore I wrote it both ways and she will be reminded each time she puts on these shoes.

I am beyond satisfied with how these and my React Live designs came out. Remember that you can see my other design by visiting my previous blog @daltono/nike-id-is-now-called-nike-by-you-and-it-still-allows-total-customization.

Thanks so much for reading my post and let me know what you think of the shoes. Are they too much for you? Can you at least enjoy seeing somebody wear these rather than wearing them yourself? Have you ever designed custom shoes like this before?

Leave a comment below and let me know.
