Batman may be the in thing right now but not to long ago it was all about the movie Transformers. There is a huge following of Transformer fans out there, maybe not as big as the Batman crowd but the movie sure did pack the people in. INTRXN did these custom Transformers Dunks as a birthday present for his friend Bestie who happens to be a Transformers fan and his bestfriend since the first grade. Bestie’s girlfriend contacted him and requested a pair of shoes with either a Transformers theme or an IronMan theme. INTRXN felt he had more to work with when it came to Transformers so it was set in stone and the work began.
The shoes use a few ideas which have been taken from customs done by Haze and Dave White but INTRXN makes that very clear himself right off the bat. On the outside mid-panel of the right sneaker (shown above) theres an image of the infamous Optimus Prime while the outside mid-panel on the left sneaker includes an image of Brawl Megatron. Are you getting the idea here? Autobots on the right, Decepticons on the left. The frontal and lace tab are designed in black and blue with a hazzy look which is the idea that was borrowed from well known artist Haze. The design on the back was taken from the popular U.S.A.F. Air Force Ones which were created by artist Dave White. Since you have the Autobots on the right and Decepticons on the left INTRXN added the appropriate emblems to the heel of each sneaker. The emblems are made out of chrome bare metal foil and from what we are told shine pretty bright in the light and are quite blinding if you look at them. One of the big scenes from the Transformers movie was a highway scene that involved Bummblebee as a yellow Chevy Camaro and Brawl as a black Ford Mustang. INTRXN included this into the sneakers by painting an image of both cars on the inside mid-panel of each sneaker. Since its Autobots on the right and Decepticons on the left it would only make sense to include the Camaro on the right sneaker and the Mustang on the left. Im sure these made the perfect gift for Bestie seeing as how hes a Transformer fan and nothing is better then getting your own pair of custom sneakers as a gift designed after something you adore.
After the jump i have a whole bunch of pictures for you showing both sneakers so make sure you check them out.
