Jay-Z vs. Lil Wayne Air Force Ones
Gabriel Horton is a 23-year old designer who has already completed 200 custom projects in his early career. Horton dropped us a line to let us know about a few of these customs that are available for sale. The custom sneakers pictured above are called the Jay-Z vs. Lil Wayne Air Force Ones.
The designer used the opposing shapes of the left shoe and right shoe to create a virtual rap battle between Jay-Z and Lil Wayne Shoes. The left shoe features a black/white portrait of Lil Wayne while the right shoe has an equally fantastic portrait of Jay-Z. The background colors are red and black to make the portraits pop off the shoes easily. I love the block-printed "Wayne" and the cursive "S. Carter" on the toe boxes as the ring cards for this epic battle.
Horton says that the Jay-Z vs. Lil Wayne Air Force Ones are available immediately in size 12 for $150 but other sizes are available upon request. The elaborate imagery and cool background colors on these custom AF1s took all of four hours, showing Horton's ability to quickly spin shoes into sneaker art gold.
