Execution is ok but where's the originality?


Errr... we can only post total original customizations in here?

Gosh... sorry about that!


Lol, don't let people bring ya down man. Great work, although just some constructive criticism here, the cement print is a little spindly. Like, kinda thin and stringy.

^Also cement print is random. You need random cement dots here and there. Good job though.

I like the obsidian customs. People say elephant print is over done and maybe it is but I still think it looks good.

I know the first pic is pretty bad quality, but it's from my phone when I got them 3 years ago. And the restored pic is how they look after I restored them which was about a year after.

So i order these AM90 ID a month back, with doing them like space jam in mind. But Nike does not have the option to make them look like the space jam as much as i did. So a little work was put into these to make them look good.

Don't know if you notice, I painted the accent of what shoe blue, the left shoe is still untouch:

i came up with this idea for a am90 id with custom work, after customizing my am90 ID to space jam color.
They are Tiffany Dunks Inspired... So i would call them the TiffMax 90

the all the black parts of the shoes will feature pattern leather, might add in the crack print later on?

all the Tiffany color will be originally white mesh, so mesh dying would be require to make this work.

let me know your thoughts on these, should i do it?

and if anything, where would i get tiffany color dye for mesh
