Custom Kicks - Grip Tape Dunks

Custom Kicks - Grip Tape Dunks

These customs are a skaters dream; a reconstructed Dunk SB low made of distressed white leather and grip tape. Bringing it full circle to the original intent of the SB, grip tape is the perfect, subtle accent to this classic shoe. While known for cracking, Brad Douglas reinforced the grip tape with leather and contrasted it with threading, which created a ‘perforated contrast.’ The subtle zebra print inner lining set the whole design off into a state of perfection. While the designer doesn’t have a site yet, he can be contacted at dfyantmentality@gmail.com.

    I think this is really cool for a skater. TO have part of your board on your shoe just seems like a cool thought. Its a nice colorways too. They should make these in mass production instead of customized.

  2. These are a nice lor piece of work. but i dont wear low tops. They would be nice as mid or hi’s. and the fur on the insode is a very nive touch. Good work kidd.

    They’re TOO nice for me. So cool, but I’d be afraid to wear them and ruin art. Would never buy a pair of shoes I’m not gonna wear. Props to the designer tho.

    now these are a sick pair of kicks! any dunk is good by me. im lovin the actual griptape on these. they would be a bitch to clean tho (not that i would wear em). I like all except that leopard liner.

  26. Mackenzy Leveque says:

    I lovee the grip tape idea…
    mad freshh
    but the inner sole is kinda lame and girly for dudes.
    I think the inner sole ruinind the whole shoe.
    But again the grip tape…
    great ideaa

  27. RH says:

    These are a pair of the sickest lows ive seen. Designer def got it right, get a site bro and get your customs on there for the world to see. The grip tape adds a little flash and texture thats like nothing else ive seen

  28. R3tRoKiD says:

    BETTER OFF AS HIGH TOPZ
