Freehand Profit continues to carve out his niche, re-working popular sneakers into post-apocalyptic headwear. Up next is the Nike Zoom Rookie “Galaxy”, that late comer to the galaxy party that came in a couple separate, glow in the dark versions for its eventual release. The creative piece of sneaker art even goes so far as to make use of the unique hang tag, throwing the “Remove Before Flight” piece into the mix. Get all the angles for this latest Freehand Profit gas mask custom via the shots we’ve lined up for you after the jump and stay tuned to see if he ever ups the ante and goes straight for the “Galaxy” Foamposite One.

Coinciding with today’s release of Yeezus, the “Red October” Air Yeezy 2 is here. Let’s clarify: the custom remix done by the likes of Mache, applying the all over red look to a retail pair of the Nike Air Yeezy 2, is here. Of course the materials on the forthcoming red colorway look to be switched around just a bit, so Mache’s appropriation is a little bit off, but that’s just nitpicking on an otherwise incredible job. Get the full photos of his all over red treatment right after the jump and let us know if you think he is a god (Of customs).

The whole “Kill Bill” thing has always been a theme that’s been an Asics thing thanks to Uma Thurman’s footwear choice in that flick. Appropriating the color combo this time is the likes of Gourmet Kickz, who outfits the Nike Zoom KD IV with the black and yellow scheme. The shoes are also upgraded with a crazy blood splatter graphic, some tongue-area patches that point back to the film, and a unique box to tie the whole thing together. Get an extended look just after the jump and stay tuned for more from the mind of Gourmet Kickz.

The past seven days were sort of slow for custom sneakers, as we clocked in at about one pair per day since our last edition of This Week in Custom Sneakers. Fortunately there’s plenty of quality even though there might not bee too much quantity. The Ironman theme was explored again on a “Metal Guy” version of the Nike Dunk High, the New Balance 574 got some more custom love, the Nike LeBron X saw another “Weatherman” style, and JBF presented his latest Python’d out Air Jordan. Get a load of those and the rest of the hits from this past week in custom designs and then tell us in the comments which was your favorite.

Will the Nike Flyknit line ever be subject to collaboration process? Keep in mind we’re not counting the HTM designation in that realm, given that that trio is sort of an in-house affair. Shown here is a custom creation that would no doubt drive folks wild if it happened on the collab end, a Nike Flyknit Trainer “Pigeon”. The simple addition of the pigeon patch on the back end immediately gives them that all-important Reed Space connection. Tell us what you think of this pair in the comments below and let us know if you think the Nike Flyknit series deserves a collab release somewhere down the line.

JBF Customs is bringing his luxurious reptilian style to the Air Jordan IV once again. This time he’s releasing a custom that leap-frogs the release date of the retail colorway it’s inspired by-the Air Jordan IV “Fire Red Nubuck”. As you can see, the beautiful scaly texture wraps the upper of this latest pair from his “incomparable” series, with the leather tongue tags again going black on us. Stay with us after the jump to see the Air Jordan IV “Fire Red Python” job from JBF Customs and then hit his site tomorrow at 1 PM EST for the chance to buy a pair.

Hats off to Sekure D for managing a new take on the so often utilized “Chicago Bulls” look. His Nike Air Force 1 Low creation, on display for your viewing pleasure here, does slap on the squads logo as well as MJ’s number, but that’s about it as far as traditional Bulls accents. Up front is a splotchy black and red toe cap and the back end goes gold on us, perhaps as an indicator of #23′s achievements with the team. See the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Chicago Bulls” after the jump and tell us if you like Sekure D’s take on the theme.

Looks like DJ Clark Kent has got his hands on another pair of sneakers that celebrate his home borough of Brooklyn. This creation, a one of one from PMK Customs, puts a Brooklyn Dodgers look onto the New Balance 574. His unique touches send that everyman model into the stratosphere, with Ebbets Field graphics painted on, a Brooklyn Dodgers patch on the tongue, and plenty of baseball stitching. Get a full look at the sneakers right after the jump and let us know how you feel about this New Balance 574 custom pair.
