“Summer, summer, summertime.” Envision warm Island weather, sunset skies, and a gentle ocean breeze—this setting is not only perfect for a relaxing summer day but it’s also the ideal muse for stunning sneaker designs. These “Island Sunset” Air Force 1 custom sneakers by Stephaun of Flyest Creations  (@flyestcreations) capture just that essence. Let’s take a closer look at his remarkable work. 

A Closer Look at the Sneaker

"Island Sunset" Air Force 1

We all know a knockout summer sneaker hinges on just the right details and colours, and the “Island Sunset” Air Force 1 ticks off both these checkboxes.

The upper boasts a stunning gradient of purple, pink, red, orange, and yellow, seamlessly blending into each other to mimic an idyllic sunset sky.

Beneath this sunset-kissed upper lies a sole unit dipped in deep blue hues representing the ocean’s serene expanse. From there, black shadow details, such as birds, fish, sailboats, and palm trees, are intricately painted throughout, adding to the sneaker’s tropical charm.

Moving on, the Swooshes on the sides of the shoe, as well as areas like the heel tab and spine, are all decorated with a unique and beautiful wood-like effect. This design element is likely inspired by the sailboat silhouette highlighted on the mudguard, but regardless of its origin, it adds a distinctive and captivating element to these custom sneakers. Finally, thick black rope laces tie everything together perfectly to complete the look. The result is a shoe that embodies a tranquil beach getaway.

In short, this design’s meticulous craftsmanship and unique details make it an actual work of sneaker art. This custom sneaker is ideal for anyone prepping for an epic summer holiday or even those who are simply drawn to vibrant sneaker designs.
