This morning at a quite early 5AM (4AM my time) Fox and Friends FIRST shared my light up shoes as part of a feature on Illuminating Electronics. Along side were PureFix Bicycles, Cyclist's Virtual Safety Lane, NiteIze Dog Collars, and Slick Wraps glow in the dark iPhone skins. Thanks to Fox News and Thrillist.com's Hayden Lynch for the feature. Watch the video below because I know you weren't up at 5AM watching Fox News either. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com
Last year I handled the light up effect on a pair of Darth Vader themed custom Nike Lebron 9's by my fellow customizer friend emmanueLabor. What started out as the black/red model was given a new look through reconstruction techniques that emmanueLabor has become known for. First the side panel's woven mesh was replaced with a ribbed leather to mimic Darth Vaders suit and gloves. Next a unique lenticular piece featuring scenes from the movie. Lastly the tongues were recon'ed with the look of Vaders mask with a final sheen placed on the other parts of the black Hyperfuse upper.
