Green accents continue to be a prominent theme on Air Jordan 4s as on the heels of the ‘Green Glow’ revelation, we see a new custom extending the Four’s Oregon Ducks ties. This ‘Duck Camo’ Air Jordan IV by DeJesus keeps some of the chromed-out look that touched the UO IVs and transfers the school’s unmistakable color scheme into the tiger camouflage pattern for a ferocious finish. The custom sneaker renaissance continues its latest chapter with more photos after the jump and be sure to check Sneaker News for the latest.

Plenty of custom sneakers give the reader a good sense of what to expect from the design based on a nickname. In the case of this Air Jordan IV ’Trinidad James’ makeup by DeJesus Customs, it’s not an established colorway we’re looking for, though it’s certainly reasonable to expect a gilded theme representing the ‘All Gold Everything’ emcee. These custom Fours are a good representation of his outfit from that video, with a red base giving way to black and gold leopard accents. A gold chain near the toe finishes the motif along with matching metallic eyelets; is this fully realized Trinidad James nod strong enough to battle one of the rarest and most valuable IVs in Eminem’s ‘Encore’? Let us know after you’ve seen more photos below and stick with Sneaker News for the hottest custom designs.

Sneaker customizers are well aware that messing around with elephant print is no easy task. We’ll go ahead and say that no sneaker customer has ever gotten that crackle-graphic down pat, so we’ll appreciate anyone who attacks it without fear. This latest sneaker custom by DeJesus is an attempt at ‘Black/Cement’, made historic by the Air Jordan III, on an Air Jordan VII; the VII is typically done in tonal style, but DeJesus manages to bring that two-toned element to the upper with a respectable finish of elephant print. More angles of this sneaker custom below, so take a look and let us know what you think of the concept for this model.

Think Pink is an Italian sportswear label that’s been around for well over three decades, but thanks to Nike Basketball, the vast majority of fashion references to that phrase in recent years have been sneakers designed to promote breast cancer awareness. And with the popularity of exuberant styles like the infamous ‘South Beach’ palette as well as the Air Yeezy line, pink is getting more shine on (mens) kicks than ever before. Here we see the trend reach another level as the beloved (by color-swappers and collectors alike) Air Jordan VI takes on an all-pink look including a ribbon on the lateral heel. Click through to get a better look at the latest DeJesus Customs and let us know how they compare to the best Air Jordan 6 color-swaps we’ve seen here on Sneaker News.

The whole phenomena of taking a Dave White design for a custom creation is sort of a meta-moment, White’s original Air Jordan 1 designs in this case being far off enough from the standard look to be considered an officially sanctioned custom of sorts. The latest is this Air Jordan III by DeJesus, taking the same road as this recent Mache creation and opting for the earlier iteration of the Dave White x Air Jordan 1 project, gold accenting and all. Now that we’ve got a good number of pairs melding the Dave White influence onto some different models which one is your favorite? Click through to see the Air Jordan III ‘Dave White’ customs by DeJesus in their entirety and let us know the answer to that in the comments below.
