One word: BRIGHT!

Bright as <insert expletive here>. This same light setup was used on the "Revel" Nike Dunk, but because the sole is a translucent "ice" rubber the lights give off a maximum amount of glow. This base Nike Dunk shoe is already a very limited release so these will only be available for a short time. Check them out in the shop here: Nike Dunk White Technicolor

Not everyone likes the usual shoes I so often customize so accommodations have to be met. With this last order I took a pair that I've never seen customized in any form by anyone: Reebok Zig Techs. Despite how comfortable these shoes are I'm not much of a fan though I like the effect they have with my light up treatment. Expect to see more work on these Reebok Zig Techs in the future.

After lots of requests for a light up Nike Air Force 1 I have added some to the online shop. Availble in both Mens and Womens sizes all white AF1 lows with red lights that flash as you walk. If you are looking for other colors of shoes, lights, or light up effects send an email to: evolvedfootwear[at]comcast[dot]net.

So I've been sitting and waiting to post this light up shoe custom design for a while now, actually a few months. Nicknamed "Revel", these Nike Dunk showcase a inconspicuous appearance of silver crackle glitter panels, charcoal vintage-ized suede, soft black leather, and vintage canvas. But when the lights are low a flip of the switch reveals 5 LEDs in the heel of each shoe that shoot out a ever changing array of red, blue, green, purple, turquoise, pink, orange, yellow, and bright white rays of light.

This custom light setup was put to the test over months of wear and tear in the form of: dancing, running, rain, a bit of snow, running in dark cornfields, and daily casual use. All precautions have been taken into consideration for the best durability possible in the structure of this light setup. They can be worn with no worries, but desire careful use for the longest life. Each shoe is powered by two AA batteries with an on/off switch secured in the tongues. 8 to 10 hours of straight wear is possible before the batteries need replacing(it's really probably a few hours longer but I'm kinda obsessive compulsive and want them bright as can be when being worn)

Available for a limited time in this specific colorway in MENS US sizes 8 to 13 now via the: E.F. Online Shop

Stay posted for special releases and 1 of 1 designs featuring this light up shoe setup.

Another big Kansas City Chiefs fan had to have my KC Chiefs Nike Dunks, of course I was happy to make another pair. Again I used the same concept of an arrow piercing through the team's AFC West rivals logos being the Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, and Oakland Raiders. Though on this pair I switched up the placement of all the graphics so each pair is really still 1 of 1.

So here is to the Chiefs! Keep on winning.

These were actually finished a while back in April but figured I might as well finally post them up. This pair of custom shoes was a 1 of 1 project using my "All Black Everything Almost"  theme on a pair of size 7 Nike Air Max Lebron VII. I did nothing to the upper or outside of the shoe they were already completely blacked out. But with the flip of the switch the 21 lights per shoe.... TWENTY fricken ONE... light up and change color like my previous custom color changing light up Air Maxes.

Unfortunately putting this many lights in one shoe was quite a task...and one I really do not want to attempt again. So until further notice a project like this customizing full length Nike Air Max to light up will not be made. Sorry, but I promise better things will be able to be ordered in the near future.

These Dunks were found on an old chemical testing site. The back heel panels are a toxic green mash with a yellow and black hazardous waste symbol on each side. The entire uppers are covered in a mysterious gooey looking(but dry) black shiny substance. Is it from space or some nuclear substance?

This pair is a 1 of 1 design only made in MENS US size 10.5. Checkout more photos and buy them here: "Toxic" Custom Nike Dunks

After making my Kansas City Royals Nike Air Force Ones  last summer I thought it was time to make myself something for their Truman Sports Complex neighbors, The Kansas City Chiefs. After a couple down years the Chiefs first 3 games of the 2010 NFL season have been refreshing with 3 wins and steady improvement. Looks like Arrowhead will be the place to be again on Sundays this fall in KC.

Using a pair of black and red Nike Dunks I hand painted the classic CHIEFS logo and KC Arrowhead logo on the back heels and then on the left shoe an arrow piercing through the teams AFC West rivals: San Diego Chargers, Denver Broncos, and Oakland Raiders, all against a rough yellow and red background.

If you are interested in getting your own pair of Kansas City Chiefs custom shoes or another NFL team send an email to evolvedfootwear@comcast.net with: desired shoe, size, graphics, and any ideas or specific requests and I'll send you a quote on how much it will cost. Designs similar to this start at $350.

Whats your favorite candy? I'd have to say butterscotch is near the top of my favorites. These custom Vans Authentics were inspired by that classic general store candy. The previously all white checkerboard print canvas was hand dyed and given an edgy outline, and a slightly yellow sole and laces for that vintage look.

This pair of MENS US size 10 are a 1 of 1 design that will never be remade. They are a very affordable custom sneaker you can buy here: Evolved-Footwear.com Online Shop

After:

Since I still receive at least a few emails each month 3 years after making the first "Pooped On By Pigeons" Nike Dunks I figured it only made sense to make a third version of these custom shoes. This pair is the closest in looks to the infamous Nike Dunk SB NYC designed by Jeff Staple from 2005 with the grey upper and orange midsole. Out of my designs this pair has the most realestic pigeon poop with a raised texture finish that looks and feels like poop really dried up on your shoes all over the Swoosh and toes.

These custom shoes are available made to order in mens US size 8 through 13 via the: Evolved Footwear Online Shop

After 4 months in the making along with 4 other customizers I've teamed up with NikeTalk.com to present NikeTalk's first custom sneaker for charity auction to help raise funds for Doctors Without Border's relief efforts in Haiti. 100% of the of the proceeds will go to charity and NikeTalk will even match up to $1,000 per pair of the winning bid. The other customizers involved are 1of Customs, JGoods, JBF Customs, and Revive Customs. The auction ends Sunday May 23rd.

Full details and all 5 shoes can be seen here: NikeTalk.com Custom Sneaker Charity Auction For Haiti Relief

I'm relieved the auction is up and running. It is a great feeling to see it come from just an idea I presented the NikeTalk.com staff to something that will help raise money for a good cause and possibly turn into a annual event among NikeTalk and it's shoe customizing community.

So please if you know of anyone that may be interested in some 1 of a kind Nikes for a great cause let them know.

These are a MENS US SIZE 9.5

These light up Nike Air Max 90 customs are insanely bright...INSANE! Titled "A.B.E.A. 2" because of the same concept as my earlier "All Black Everything....Almost" Nike Dunk, all black then POW! This second version is just as bright with slow mesmerizing changing colors with the flip of a switch. Except these are MUCH more affordable. Order HERE in our store in MENS US sizes 7.5 through 14.

So...I've worked on about 5 pairs now of these premium Nike Air Max 1s with the quilted leather. This pair though is my favorite of them all using a black on black elephant print, lime green, worn aluminum look on the quilted leather and super bright white light up Air Max bubble. Even more so these might be my favorite EF signature color pair of all time. Available  via my store from 8-13.
