Mo Money Customs is known for creating custom sneakers based in the world of comics. Mo Money’s last creation was a pair of Nikes with a Human Torch theme that I enjoyed a lot. The designer continued his exemplary work with a pair of custom Batman Nikes. I found these photos at Mo Money’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

Mo Money used a basic black/gray colorway to set the mood for the Dark Knight. Both toe boxes feature images of Batman from the recent cartoon series; Batman is shown turning his head back at the viewer. He added the familiar Batwing logo from Batman’s suit to the heels to complete these shoes.

Mo Money Customs took the right approach in creating a pair of Batman customs in the wake of The Dark Knight. Instead of reworking the familiar images from the movie, Mo Money used simple images from the cartoon series to show his love of this decades-old figure. I am a big fan of the Batman Custom Nikes because it moves away from the well-worn territory of this summer’s blockbuster.

The aftermath of The Dark Knight’s success has allowed a flurry of custom sneakers based on Batman, The Joker and Gotham City to reach the Internet. Sneakers by Sean took a more conceptual approach to the new Batman movie on this pair of custom Shaqs. These pictures were taken from the designer’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

While other designers took literal approaches to the images in the The Dark Knight, Sneakers by Sean took a much different approach to these Shaqs. The image of a black bat is placed on a golden toe box to show the signal sent into the night sky when Batman is needed. The back heel features a cloud of flying bats that symbolize the swift justice given out by Batman. Sneakers by Sean’s black/gold colorway is evocative of the crime fighter’s suit featuring a yellow utility belt.

I am a big fan of any sneaker that is well done while celebrating Batman. Sneakers by Sean took a more symbolic approach to the comic book hero than other designers but it is executed perfectly.
