Nike iD: The 6 Best Sneakers Designed Using Nike By You

I don’t know anyone who looks at an item of clothing, whether it be sneakers or otherwise, and thinks they are the perfect representation of them. Have you ever wanted to make the perfect sneakers that embody your fashion and design? Many sneakerheads know about Nike By You, but many don’t, so I’m here to tell you that Nike By You makes it possible.

Nike By You

Nike By You is a service that allows you to perfectly customise numerous silhouettes, adding colours and elements to your liking and making the perfect shoe for you.

You can choose from a plethora of silhouettes, from the Nike Dunk High, the Nike Air Force 1 Low, Nike Air Force 1 Mid, Nike Air Force 1 High, the Nike Internationalist, the Nike Air Max 90, the Nike Blazer Mid ’77 Unlocked, Nike Air Max 95 Unlocked, and the Nike Air Max 97.

Each silhouette has a ton of options for you to customise, like the colour and material of the vamp (also sometimes known as the toe box), the tip (panelling that wraps around the toe box), the quarter (under panelling of the majority of the upper where the Swoosh usually sits), the material and colour of the Swoosh logo, the foxing (the panelling that goes up from the heel to meet the lace stays on some silhouettes), the collar, the colour and material of the eye stay, the lining, the tongue, the laces, the heel pull tab (if you are customising a silhouette that has one), the midsole, the outsole and last but not least, you can add text on some silhouettes that have space for it.

Nike By You is the perfect opportunity for you to make a completely unique pair of sneakers tailored to you in every way possible. As Nike says, “Try your hand at making that so-you shoe with Nike’s co-creation service.”
