We’ve been dropping info on these dunks since December but now we’ve got the news you’ve all been waiting for. Its been a long time coming but Brooklyn Projects will be releasing their take on Nike SB’s Dunk Low tomorrow Febuary 28 at there three stores. If your not in or near LA or Tokyo, you’ll have a chance to get yours later in March when they hit select SB retailers.
JBF created the Kaboom! Nike Dunks for a client who wanted to give his kid some nice customs. The Kaboom! Nike Dunks balance simple colors with complex design, a trademark of JBF’s work. I found these photos at the Nike Talk post linked here.
If you start your examination of the Kaboom! Dunks from the heel, you may not think much of these customs. With the exception of a pair of pink pupils emerging from the black panel, JBF left the back half of the Kaboom! Dunks clean. The designer focused his attention on the eyelets and toes, setting off some artistic explosions around the white toe box.

JBF used jagged black lines to create the shock waves surrounding pink/white flash points. Instead of setting off a few simple explosions, JBF overlapped the shock waves to simulate all-out war. The designer’s use of subtle colors like black, gray and white allowed the pink flash points stand out. The Kaboom! Nike Dunks demonstrate JBF’s ability to make sophisticated sneakers without resorting to wild colors and crazy graphics.
Self-titled sneaker freaker Daniel Reese has created dozens of hot customs under the label Brass Monki UK. My favorites from Brass Monki are the Neon Tetris Dunks, a four-pack of sneakers inspired by the classic video game Tetris. I found this photo at the Brass Monki Facebook page linked here.
The unifying element among all four pairs of Neon Tetris Dunks is the blur of colorful blocks on the middle panel. Reese used block colors like orange, magenta, light blue and yellow when designing the upper heels and toe boxes. The designer went as far as to paint the soles and switch out the shoe laces to match each sneaker’s distinct pattern. The Neon Tetris Dunks are fantastic examples of the small details that need to be addressed when creating sneaker art.
The Neon Tetris Dunks are not available for sale at this point but the Brass Monki brand is growing by the day. Reese likes to work on one-off customs that set his clients apart from fellow sneaker freakers.
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. 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 (SB) Dunk Hi, 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.
