Sideview Customs customized a pair of Nike Dunks with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme for a client recently. The designer highlighted the TMNT Nike Dunks at the Nike Talk post linked here. Rather than using the four members of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sideview went a different route that proved to be a smart decision in hindsight.
The TMNT Nike Dunks use the orange-clad Michelangelo for inspiration. Every fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles knows that Michelangelo was the goof ball who was keeping the crew laughing between missions. Sideview painted eyes on the Nike swoosh to look like Michelangelo after cracking a bad joke. The sole and heel are painted orange to match the headband worn by the turtle/comedian.
Sideview went beyond the orange headband to design custom Dunks that a fan of the Turtles would love. On the heel, the designer added TMNT in green lettering to let the uninitiated know what these shoes represent. The turtle shell design on the toe shows that Sideview Customs can get the job done even when it comes to heroes in a half shell.
I wrote about the third generation of Jason Nike Dunks by Mizzee Customs in yesterday’s post. The designer went back to the beginning of the story line to create this final version. If you like what you see, you can get in touch with Mizzee Customs at mizzeecustoms@aol.com to get your own hot customs.
The premise of the Jason Dunks 4.0 is that Jason Voorhees is chasing after a teenage girl in the forest. We see the potential victim of Jason’s murderous rage hiding behind some foliage on the outside right shoe and inside left shoe. When we take a look at the interior of the right shoe, we see Jason emerging from the darkness to strike his prey. The outside of the left shoe was painted to say “Friday the 13th” to honor the classic horror flick.

On the Jason Dunks 3.0, Mizzee Customs spared the color to focus on the gruesome details of Jason’s latest attack. The fourth and final installment in the Friday the 13th series by Mizzee takes this simple use of color to the next level. The designer’s use of red on the teenager’s lips and Jason’s mask along with the purple soles make these Dunks stand out. JBF Customs ventured into the world of fabric design with the HighRoad Dunk Lows. While the designer used new materials on his latest Dunks, we can still see some of the signature elements of a JBF Customs shoe. I found these photos at JBF’s Nike Talk post linked here.
JBF stitched some gray fabric around the toe and middle panel using red and blue thread. On the middle panel, the designer resorted to colorful abstract images that he has used in previous shoes. The swirls of blue, red and green play off the white Nike swoosh and the gray fabric to create a dynamic piece of sneaker art.
I am always impressed by JBF’s ability to turn basic shapes and colors into fantastic customs. The HighRoad Dunk Lows are impeccably designed and neatly finished to exceed the client’s expectations. The HighRoad Dunk Lows prove that JBF Customs can move one step forward into new materials without sacrificing quality.
