no name dunk highs

D@ Prince Customs had a problem adding a label to his No Name Dunks. The designer was asked by a client in California to employ bright colors and wild designs for a special 20th birthday present. I found photos of the No Name Dunks at the D@ Prince MySpace page linked here.

The base Nike Dunk for this project featured a simple black/blue/white colorway that is difficult to imagine after seeing the No Name Dunks. The most noticeable feature on these customs is the pink on the laces, toe and heel. D@ Prince used turquoise for the heel tag and the toe box as a cooler alternative to the bright pink.

D@ Prince continues to earn his reputation for dynamic sneakers with the No Name Dunks. I am a big fan of the black/turquoise print on the middle panel, which must have taken a long time to get right. After looking at the No Name Dunks a few times, I can see why D@ Prince had a tough time naming these shoes. The No Name Dunks are one of a kind and brilliantly designed, defying labels and explanation.

Nike Hypermax “Air Max2 CB Poster” is a great looking pair of sneakers. It has got two looks. One look is for the outward facing side of the shoe and another look is for the inward facing side of the shoe.

Let’s discuss the outward facing part of the shoe. The midsection is occupied by a large segment of black which has yellow colored strips going down. The Nike swoosh is thick and red colored. The shoe strap at the collar of the ankle has dense yellow strips and that is very eye catching. The Nike label on the strap looks good with its electric colors. The shoe upper looks solid with its continuous and uniform flow. The midsole has a distinguishing yellow strap that rises above the midsole and slopes down back into the midsole.

On the inward facing side of the shoe, the black colored segments are in two separate portions. The two portions are divided by a white colored center piece with perforations. The red Nike swoosh below the collar of the ankle is much smaller in size. We can see the Air Max Air Unit technology in the transparent part of the midsole. The outsole is capped in fine treads and the center portion is in a nice blue color.
One look at these mids and you could have guessed the title. Yes, the Sea Crystal colorway will return again this time on a mid. The color way was first made famous on a 2004 dunk sb shoes , and then returned late last year on a pair of (SB) Blazers. Now the famed colorway returns again in 2008 on a Mid. The Mid made of a compelety suede upper except the black swoosh will hit retailers sometime this Summer.
