“Summer, summer, summertime.” I don’t know of anyone who wouldn’t want to trade the cold winter days for warm Island weather, sunset skies, and a gentle ocean breeze. Not only does this sound like the makings of the perfect getaway, but it also makes for a pretty cool sneaker design. Just check out these “Island Sunset” Air Force 1 custom sneakers by Stephaun of Flyest Creations (@flyestcreations).
We all know a knockout summer-inspired sneaker hinges on just the right details and colours, and the “Island Sunset” Air Force 1 ticks all the boxes.
The upper features a gradient of purple, pink, red, orange, and yellow hues to mimic a stunning sunset sky. Beneath this sunset-kissed upper lies a sole unit dipped in deep blue to represent the ocean. The artist has even painted in black shadow details, including birds, fish, sailboats, and palm trees, to add to the tropical theme.
Moving on, the Swooshes on the sides, as well as areas like the heel tab and spine, are all decorated with a wood-like effect. Finally, thick black rope laces tie everything together to complete the tropical look.
