Saturday morning cartoons may not be a part of our routine anymore, but sneaker artist Javornie Brathwaite has definitely revived the nostalgia with his custom creation, the “Fred Flintstone” Air Max 1.
Brathwaite transformed the head of the Flinstones household into what can only be described as a colourful and playful sneaker design. No tribute to Fred would be complete without reference to his signature orange and black attire so that’s where we get started.
First up, the character’s triangle covered tunic dresses the quarter panels, heel, and eyestays. His teal tie then accents the Swooshes, vamp, and laces.
You’ll spot nods to his hair and skin colour on the shoe’s tongue, inner lining, and base, while the heel show off the name of the cartoon in the signature prehistoric font style.
