Snakeskin Dunk Highs

A designer with the handle lakebay2 on NikeTalk recently posted a pair of custom Nike Dunk Highs linked here. These custom Dunks began with a neon green/light green base that was less than extraordinary. The designer took these shoes to the next level with an interesting snakeskin effect.

A closer look at the photos below show the hours of work that lakebay2 poured into these kicks. The designer played his technique close to the vest on NikeTalk (I doubt it is genuine snakeskin) but he did a great job of showing the shoe’s reflection off the light just behind the camera. You can see some shine coming from the black snakeskin on the heel as well as the black/white/gray snakeskin on the remainder of these Dunks.

My lone criticism of the Snakeskin Dunk Highs is the use of neon green laces. As someone on NikeTalk suggested, these Dunks would benefit from a pair of black laces to match the snakeskin effect. On the whole, however, lakebay2 did a great job in recreating snakeskin on these size 13 Dunks.
