This latest custom is one of my favorites. A friend of mine, Catherine, and I have come together to prepare a Christmas gift for her significant other and a buddy of mine. What I like about this project is her input- the colors, the inspiration, the theme was all Catherine. My job was to make it a reality.

This custom also pushed the envelope a little bit. This is the first shoe that I had done where careful hand painted details were required and an insole was made. I also used metallic colors for the first time ever (it's about time I used them!).

First off, the theme- He loves Batman, the colors blue and gray, so I went with that idea and ran with it. The base of the shoe was neutral gray. I thought 'all-white' at first, but the concept art had alot of gray on it, so I found a gray AF1 that was perfect to save me time and paint. I also used gold metallics for the swoosh to bring out the colors. The hand painted part was the Batman logo. Sheldon's very retro, so I went with the nostalgic 80's Batman logo and the Adam West, 60's batman colorway with the stealth blue, pro gold with baby blue stitching.

I hope Sheldon enjoys these as much as Cat and I enjoyed making them. J-PHKR out.
