Bringing a theme to life through a custom sneaker design is no small task. Every detail—from the colour scheme to the materials and tiny added features—must be carefully considered to capture the essence of the theme. But, when done right, it can result in a stunning and unique sneaker that tells a meaningful story. And that’s precisely what these Nike Air Max 1 “Sharimiki Bonsai” sneakers by @bigassteam2014_official achieve.
A Closer Look At The Sneaker
The overarching message behind this pair centres on patience, ingenuity, and permanence, as stated by the creators. And symbolically, this theme is captured through the imagery of the Bonsai tree.
Naturally, the “Bonsai” inspiration shines throughout the shoe’s design. To begin with, the upper sports an Olive colour scheme with lighter tones on the mesh base layer, while the suede overlays appear in darker shades. The Swooshes are also detailed with bonsai tree embroidery, while Bonsai graphics appear on the insoles.
A cream mudguard then adds contrast to the look, paired perfectly with matching tones on the laces, inner lining, and side Swooshes.
Finally, a sail and green sole unit complete the look, with “Air Saigon” branding adding a last touch to the heel.
