Fresh and Fly Customz recently customized some Air Force Ones for a friend in Canada who is a fireman. The Fireman Air Force Ones move beyond the typical flame licks, fire engine reds and other symbols of firefighting for a more subtle design. These shoes were featured recently on Fresh and Fly’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.
The designer went to work on white AF1s by laying down some black patent leather on the middle panel. He separated the middle panel from the toe box with reflective material similar to the safety gear worn by firefighters. This material is also used at the top of the tongue, presumably to help the client stay safe in the dark.
While most of the shoe is shrouded in black paint and leather, Fresh and Fly added yellow and orange to symbolize flames. The stitching on the sole turns from orange on the heel to black on the toe as your eye moves forward. The yellow Nike swoosh is made with leather and looks as much like a bright fireman’s jacket as the flicker of a flame. Fresh and Fly completed these shoes with a pair of orange laces, giving a touch of brightness to an otherwise dark shoe.
