NIKE, NIKE DUNK LOW PRO, SIZE 10

Rubber, Leather, Cotton

2003

This 2003 Nike Dunk Low was designed by legendary sneaker customizer Methamphibian. Originally from New York, Methamphibian made a name for himself as one of the foremost experts in sneaker customization with his unique designs and techniques. 


In the early aughts Methamphibian joined the AMC crew, “a group of people who collectively had the illest collection of sneakers” he told UK blog The Hundreds in 2012. The group included Ben Baller, DJ Homicide, and the late DJ AM; Methamphibian has credited Ben Baller with introducing him to the Los Angeles store Undefeated, where these customized shoes were sold.


This customized pair takes inspiration from the Air Jordan 3, with the use of elephant print overlays. The lines of the print are hand-painted in black. The Swoosh and heel tab both feature a deep purple, with the Nike heel branding painted in a bright yellow. 


The side of each box was numbered by the artist, with this particular pair number 15/24. The box has also been signed by Methamphibian in black marker, and the label features an Undefeated logo. These shoes are accompanied by a letter from James Spence Authentication in regards to the signature.
