The next chronicle of the heralded customs by SBTG involves a partnership with San Jose-based Aristocrat and the Nike Dunk Low and Nike Blazer.Titled “Black Saigon”, the inspiration behind these latest customized sneakers is the graffiti marked on zippo lighters by soldiers during the Vietnam War. The engravings give a sense of darkness, restlessness, despair, and even shades of hope, and SBTG’s sublime touch captured those emotions on the Nike Dunk and Nike Blazer using dark, weathered tones. The Nike Dunk features a military-grade zipper cover while the Blazer features camo-print Starks laces, but the aforementioned design cues are just the tip of a massive iceberg of creative artistry. Only 8 pairs of the Nike Blazer and 7 of the Dunk were produced exclusively for Aristocrat, so stick with Sneaker News and we’ll give you more info as it develops. Continue on for an extensive gallery detailing the design of the shoe and let us know what you think of these latest SBTG customs.
