With the success of the McFly Hyperdunks Nike decided to use the newly popular color way on a not so popular shoe and the result is a classic example that a color way can make orbreak the shoe.Although the shoe is a mixture ofgreys it is certainly nothing to sleep on. The lightly grey upper sits on a speckeled fronthalfmid sole and features a glow in the dark sole. Rumored to release later this Holiday season.

JBF used his favorite screen saver as inspiration for his latest custom sneakers. The sneaker artist designed a pair of white Nike Air Force Ones with a series of colored pipes running from heel to toe. The PipeTastic Air Force Ones were posted by JBF on the NikeTalk thread linked
The designer used gold paint for the Nike swoosh, the heel tag as well as the border of each pipe to add some glitz to the PipeTastics. JBF added green and blue pipes that intersect throughout the shoe to simulate the constant movement of these pipes on a computer screen. It isn’t difficult to imagine the pipes rotating and shifting second by second because JBF uses color differences to create the appearance of movement.
Every designer needs to think about elements of everyday life to create customs that are authentic. JBF didn’t try to use elaborate themes and colors to create the PipeTastics; instead, he chose something like a default screen saver that is overlooked by people everyday. JBF does a great job converting something mundane into a piece of art.
