Custom Air Jordans... Vol. Yay or Nay?

[wendells76]

It depends on the particular jordan....

 

[scoop0625]

Not big on customs...so Nay.
Edit: Silver Anniversary 11's with the blue tint are an exception.

Technically they are...if you can't purchase them in a store with that exact colorway would they be? Regardless if they were authentic at one point. IMO your customs are terrible (no flame) as long as you enjoy them. who cares?




but they still look

So with your logic, if I buy a car and customize it by re-painting it a non-factory issued color...then my car is a variant or fake?

QFT!
As long as the shoes that you bought were authentic, then you are in the clear.

As for customs, I still haven't taken a side yet cause one day I will see one and be like

 

 and then the next hour I will see one and be like 

 

. It's all about the execution to me.

It's like if you painted your car a different color from its stock color. If you can make it look cleaner, go ahead and do it. If you do something whack though like choose questionable colors, of course people are going to look at you like you got on fake sneakers.

Not a fan of custom jordans, But i do like air max ids.

 

[pdxkickz2009]

cant stand when people change there js

 

[shoedebonair9]

custom 6s can be nice

 

[cobyatch]

nay for me, but the custom bred 11 ie lows with the grey cement print is dope

 

[atxallstar]

They look too fake instead of custom

 

[klock]

The car analogy isnt even a fair one

Come on

Be real in here

How many knock off vehicles is there around?

But fake jordans are all over the place

Therefore the reason why customs look fake on jordans.

True. Aight I will give you that and use a different analogy.
There are plenty of fake iPod/iPads/iPhones around.

If I bought a new authentic iPod and completely changed the color to a non-factory based colorway, is it now fake?

i did some custom black toe AJKO's, mostly cuz i never thought i'd find my size in OG 1985 black toes. luckily i did recently, but i still love these:

 

[asmathews]

nay

 

[eltouha]

sick black toes, proto!

 

[seth320]

the 1s is a nice concept

 

[kennyb1103]

I really dont like customs.

 

[jordan0589]

Yay if they look good, i love the AJKO black toes. What i'd really wanna see is a Varsity VI into a Sport Blue custom. I wanted to make a Stealth V into a Grape V but the leather isn't the same so that was a Nay. White Cement III into a Katrina III is a total Yay. The right color on the right shoe always works out

 

[greatabyss43]

nice KO black toes up there!!

Well done

Wear what you like, but personally if I saw you with a pair of Jordans that didn't release, I'm assuming you're rockin fakes, no matter if they're customized or not.

 

[smoooth]

those customize arent bad, but i am not a fan

Actually knock off cars are pretty common.

 

 A customized authentic product and a replica are two completely different things. Putting them in the same category is complete idiocy.

 

[rooster1188]

I don't see why you would want to custom a pair of shoes if you didn't like them dnt buy them n the first place
