Chrisco showed off his latest pair of custom sneakers at the Nike Talk post linked here. These custom Nike Dunks took Chrisco a long time to complete because they required extensive hand stitching, coloring and drying. The result of Chrisco’s hard work is a pair of great Nike Dunks that stand out from the competition.

Chrisco uses a psychedelic theme with tie dyed colors that run the spectrum from yellow and orange to green and blue. I was impressed by the smooth transition of colors as I looked from the outside of the right shoe to the outside of the left shoe. You can see the hard work put into these shoes by looking at the flawless stitching running along the toe box.

The Psychedelic Nike Dunks also feature a set of 3M reflective strips stitched into the heel and tongue. These strips along with the bountiful colors used by Chrisco can help the wearer stay safe while walking at night. While tie dyed shirts and other clothing may be a bit cliched, Chrisco adds a new spin to this design method with the Psychedelic Dunks.

Chrisco has been busy recently upgrading his website and showing off some of his work from the past year. These Tweed Air Force Ones were posted by Chrisco on the Nike Talk thread linked here.

The designer went with a tweed fabric pattern around the heel rather than trying to paint this pattern. Chrisco showed off his skills by stitching the tweed pattern perfectly to the rest of the shoe. This pattern also features Chrisco’s signature just above the outsole in brown stitching. The stitching matches the brown leather on the front of the shoe.

I hyped up Chrisco’s New Balance Crackle in yesterday’s post without having seen the Tweed Air Force Ones. While the Tweeds may not be as colorful as the Crackles, I like Chrisco’s approach on these shoes. The use of a tweed pattern and the seamless execution by the designer equal fantastic custom sneakers.

I found the latest shoes offered by Chrisco on his Nike Talk post linked here. One of my favorite shoes over the last year writing for MyAirShoes was Chrisco’s Stormtrooper customs. His New Balance Crackles may not have the retro appeal of the Stormtroopers but they are great to look at nonetheless.

You can see hints of the gray suede 574s in the toes as well as the back panels. Chrisco added faded black cracks on the gray suede that vary from solid lines to barely visible gaps. Plenty of designers use cracks and gaps on their shoes but Chrisco seems to have bypassed these artists in terms of planning and execution.

Chrisco did not stop at black cracks when designing these Crackle customs. The tongue logo is a closed fist with a green lightning bolt that looks great against the black leather. Chrisco also used neon green laces that contrast greatly with the simple gray suede. I am a big fan of the Crackle 574s even after Chrisco set the bar high with his last pair of customs.
