Remember when Dank Customs whipped up that low-top version of the Air Jordan XI “Bred”? He follows that up with another low-top version of the Air Jordan XI classic – the iconic “Space Jam” colorway that started a string of singular XI Retro releases in December.This one’s got the iconic XI detailing down to the tee, but in typical fashion, Dank adds a sick touch with the Space Jam movie logo on insoles of the shoes. Definitely an impressive piece to take a gander at, so check out the gallery below and chime in with your opinions in the comments below.

It’s clear from the aliases he chose that the rapper best known as MF Doom is a big fan of pop fantasy works. Here we see another Jwdanklefs custom sneaker based on the prolific and mysterious emcee once accused of going rap game Andy Kaufman, sending an impostor on stage on his behalf. In the case of the ‘Dr. Doom’ Nike Air Max 1, we reach back through MF and Victor Vaughn to the original Marvel Doctor Victor von Doom character’s give a greener touch to spring’s ‘Atomic Teal’ colorway. It’s a more faithful representation of the comic costume than 2006′s black/white Air Foamposite Pro; how does this Dr. Doom compare to the Metal Fingers AM1s we showed you earlier this morning? Let us know after you’ve seen more below, and stick with Sneaker News for the latest customs.

The time we faced Doom was back in 2007 when Nike Skateboarding collaborated with the multi-persona’d hip-hop veteran Daniel Dumile. Interspersed with alter egos Viktor Vaughn and King Geedorah, the emcee best known as MF Doom collaborated with myriad names highlighted by Madlib and Danger Mouse; simply put, Doom destroyed the mid-’00s. A crown jewel punctuating this brilliant period was the coveted MF Doom x Nike SB Dunk High collab, whose menacing vibes we see echoed by Jwdanklefs’ latest custom job. This ‘MF Doom’ Nike Air Max 1 nails the colorway, piping, bubbly handstyle and materials including the signature ostrich skin. This one is a 1 of 1, but Dank also did five for Marvel’s original Dr. Doom, so check out the MF Doom Air Max 1 in greater detail below and stay tuned for more shortly.

Ronnie Fieg’s back catalog of Asics releases seems to get harder to track down with every subsequent release. JWDanklefs has decided to remedy that problem by porting over some of Fieg’s most treasured blockings onto a couple of Nike Air Max 90 customs. Serving as a sequel to his Nike Air Max 90 ‘Leatherback’ is the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Salmon Toe’ shown here. The pair puts pink on the front end and under the Swoosh, with the rest of the sneaker picking up the proper navy and white sections to complete the equation.
