I saw some crazy Nike event was happening in Complex con and Nike was offering exclusive services for each shoe. To be able to customize any shoe with dip dye and to apply alterations. Unfortunately, the dip dye is no longer available in this Nike SF store. As I saw the information for this event, I reached out to my contacts out in north CA and one person agreed to attend the event with me. I really appreciate my friend Domenic bathke manchester, without Dom this dream shoe would have never been apart of my sneaker collection.

Thanks Dom and Emma for taking their personal time to help me out with picking my customized AF1’s. I went for the Galaxy effect on half of the shoe for a unique look.
There are options for custom apparels aswell.

Here’s the galaxy pattern, they only allow to dip half the shoe.
Tons of customizable options for the Nike swoosh, the selection is crazy.
