Nike ID customs

I've always been a massive fan of Nikes custom service. It basically allows you to create any pair of shoes you like, from the material used, to the colour of the lining and laces! It's a phenomenal idea that has broken down the boundaries between buying some shoes, and creating your own pair of amazing sneaks!

I just created these amazing pink and white Dunks with Jacquard fabric for the base and it really does it for me!

The possibilities are endless, so many colours and different combinations of things, you can even have your superhero name written on the heel! It's just sooooooo good!

I also found a really good video on nikeid's YouTube channel, which is basically a step by step tutorial on how you can achieve your perfect pair of skips but unfortunately they don't give an embed code, but the link is here! However I did find another video, it's quite good but I advise you skip to 0.55 seconds because it drags a bit in the beginning!!!

And if after all that you don't think you can wait another minute to make your own pair of super fly sneaks then wait no longer!

Here's the link you need to get straight to Nike IDs homepage!

The Dunk

As I sit here to write this blog I think...'what is the best thing about the Nike Dunk design?'

I think the best thing about this style is the accessibility. It comes in so many different styles, there really is a Dunk for everyone! I love the Elmo design above, it's really fun and gives a cool injection of childishness to a classic design!

Not only do they come in a variety of colours and designs but they do lo-cuts, mid's and high's. I couldn't find a picture to show you of some really cool, high cut, pink Dunk boots, but the link here will take you straight to it! They also come in black but I love the pink and white version, they look like they could be girly boxing boots!

A little bit of Dunk history now, when they first came out they were a technical basketball shoe, Nike say 'What the Dunk really represented was an explosion of colour.' A number of American College basketball teams at the time wore Dunks in their team colours.

I think I can safely conclude by saying the Dunk will always be a classic, there are so many different colour and material combinations that they would be impossible to get bored of! But make sure you check out those pink boots!
