AF1 x Mercurial Vapor = Wow!


The World Cup may be over, but soccer inspiration is still in the air! Straight from the mind of Chris Hui (aka C2 Customs), here comes the best custom sneaker I have seen in a long time -- the Nike Air Force One x Mercurial Vapor Superfly II.

C2, took the design of the upper of Nike's $400 soccer boot and stamped it onto an AF1 Low. The result? A masterpiece.


From C2 himself...

Upper features Nike's signature Mach Metallic Purple ...and Total Orange, a specific color combination designed to draw attention to the human eye.


The carbon fiber plate that graces the outsole of the soccer boots is substituted with a carbon fiber tongue on the sneakers.


The monster-sized black Nike swoosh that claims the majority of the upper makes certain that there is no mistake which brand you're supporting.


1 of 1. Comes complete with a custom box and Nike Product (RED) laces - just in case you wanted to dress them like the US squad does.

The original boot...



Brilliant, Chris....brilliant! I'll be doing a profile on Wisconsin's very own C2 soon -- stay tuned!
