A designer posted these Air Stabs on Nike Talk and stated that he picked up the pair for $15. This bargain apparently struck the designer’s artistic side and caused him to make these Nike low-tops his own. You can see in the picture above that the veins of black paint applied to the shoes stand out well from the gray leather.

There were comments on Nike Talk that the designer was crazy to ruin a $15 pair of Nike Air Stabs with black paint. I think the shoe is okay in its present state though it seems to be an initial stage of the customization process. A pair of black laces replaced the white laces in an effort to complete the effect. An additional layer of paint applied to the Nike swooshes as well as another touch-up of the black veins would help this shoe turn from a bargain into a high-priced custom.
