Cyclops Origins Nike Dunks

Mateo Acrylics treated the character Cyclops from X-Men with great respect when creating the Cyclops Origins Nike Dunks. These custom Dunks focused on Cyclops due to the artist’s desire to add lights as a secondary feature. The designer entered the Cyclops Origins Dunks into the 2009 Clash of the Customizers linked here and defeated Deuce-Tray in a first-round matchup.

The Cyclops portrayed on the right heel is from X-Men #1 published in September 1963 and comes complete with blue hood and old-school X symbol. The left shoe features the more nuanced (and muscular) Cyclops from the most recent editions of X-Men. The interior sides are painted blue and yellow in honor of the superhero team’s standard uniform.

Mateo Acrylics completed the Cyclops Origins Nike Dunks with two red lights inserted behind the character’s visor. The lights come alive when the lights go out, showing Cyclops charging his ruby-red visor for the next shot. The designer gets a respite in the second round as both of his prospective opponents forfeited in the first round.
