What do you get when you cross the classic Nike Dunk Low with the vibrant greenery of a golf course? While this may sound like the beginning of a terrible dad joke, it’s actually the making of a really cool custom sneaker design by @tagzfootwear. The talented custom sneaker artist has combined the iconic style of the Dunk Low with the vibrant green grass of a golf course to bring us the Nike Dunk Low “Golf”. And this time, when I say combine, I do mean quite literally.
The sneaker showcases a well-thought-out design that features an upper composed of a realistic grass-like material spiced up with tiny faux grass clusters and a texture that captures the feel of putting green. The base takes on a more kempt appearance, as though it has been freshly mowed. However, the overlays showcase a longer and thicker grass-like material, creating a contrast between the neatly trimmed sections and the wilder, untamed areas. Even the insole swims in this sea of faux grass, consolidating the overall theme of the design.
The renowned Nike Swoosh stands out brilliantly, adorned with a metallic silver texture, as though it were cut from a gleaming patent leather material. To top it off, the midsole and the laces are clothed in a sharp white tone that mirrors the colour of the golf ball, while the outsole sports a charming brown earthy hue.
The design also incorporates golf-inspired details such as miniature golf flags embroidered on the rear of the sneaker’s lateral side and a custom Tagz Footwear label with the words “Always on Par” displayed humbly at the bottom. Further branding details include the Tagz logo on the heel, stylishly embroidered in silver thread.
All elements considered; the Nike Dunk Low “Golf” offers a refreshingly stylish interpretation of the classic golf shoe. This sneaker exhibits subtle complexities in design that we can’t help but appreciate. From the unique golf-inspired details to the sleek branding, every aspect of the sneaker showcases meticulous attention to detail. It is safe to say that Tagz Footwear has scored a perfect hole-in-one with this inventive design, harmonising sport and fashion to a “tee.”
