The Sickest Custom Sneakers on Instagram Right Now

Here at The Sole Supplier we’re big fans of customised sneakers and lately there’s been an abundance of sick custom designs that have caught our eye. From Off-White x Nike Dunks to New Balance 2002Rs, we’ve rounded up the coolest custom sneakers on the ‘gram right now, created by some of the most talented artists and sneakerheads in the game. Check out the latest designs that have been circulating Instagram and brightening up our feeds daily.

The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack dropped only a few weeks ago and already this silhouette has been customised and reworked more times than we can keep count. Most recently we’ve seen custom pairs hitting our feed from @staniflou, @axeldoye and @jennizerr and making us wish we could cop the reworked designs.

The layered look of the mixed-material design makes this shoe a perfect canvas to add pops of colour across the upper. We’re loving the touches of green, pink and purple that these sneakerheads have updated the OG silhouette with, levelling up the classic colourway and bringing the retro pair to life.

2021 saw the releases of many high-heat collabs, but it’s impossible to talk about the craziest collabs of the year without mentioning the Off-White x Nike Dunk Low ‘The 50’ collection. One of the most-hyped releases of the year with 50 different colourways all crafted from a mixture of fabrics and decorated with different colourways unique to the individual lot number. So far, we’ve seen a huge selection of custom designs including these bright-hued pairs listed below.

From block colour schemes to dyed midsoles, the custom options for this silhouette seem endless and we’re loving them all. @iwearsnkrs adds a vibrant pink hue to the high-heat pair, transforming the classic colourway into something a lot more eye-catching. A yellowed midsole and aquamarine upper also work a treat paired together, with a pastel blue-hued box to accompany the bold-coloured pair.

If you were lucky enough to get your hands on a pair of the premium suede-covered Off-White x Dunk then you may want to replicate @owaishsb dyed-effect Dunks. The washed-style look works perfectly, finished with bright green laces that add a pop of colour to the upper.

Match your set to your sneakers like @sallyssneakers with her custom pair of Comme des Garçons x Air Max 95s created by the talented @lorenz.og. The multicoloured pair feature a rainbow effect upper, with each layer of the upper dyed a different hue.

One silhouette we'll never get tired of seeing customs for is the iconic Air Force 1. Every week there seems to be a different new design and each one just gets better and better. We're loving the chunky lace update that @customsbyj1 has added to the classic, triple-white pair. Rope-style laces put a contemporary spin on the OG design, with chunky cream laces adding a contemporary look and feel to the classic design.

Another custom AF-1 that's caught our eye this season is this floral-decorated Air Force 1 by custom_sneakers_uk. The upper has been updated with an intricate floral pattern stretching across the heel and sides of the toe box. A final touch of teal blue brightens up the branding on the lateral side of the midsole.

Up there with the sickest custom sneakers of the year has to be these Jordan 1 customs. The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1looks better than ever with an aged effect taking over the whole sneaker. A dark blue, reverse Swoosh graces the lateral sidewalls with a vintage effect that's become @chefhuyle's signature aesthetic and we're here for it.

Marble overlays dress this unique rework by @prettyie created exclusively for @sallyssneakers. The Jordan 1 Low is a classic silhouette from the Jordan brand, and this black and white marble effect is the perfect addition to the triple-white pair.

A number of sick custom sneaker concepts have also been surfacing recently, with this latest concept from @evange_____ that reworks the recently released Patta x Nike Air Max 1 'Monarch'. The iconic collab looks luxe with dark green hues taking over the lower sidewalls, complete with a layered Swoosh.

Another high-heat pair that we've seen customised more times than we can keep count is the sacai x Nike LDWaffle. This latest design by @floucustoms could be the sweetest one yet. Painted in a dreamy, pastel colour scheme, the accenting colours brighten up every panel on this iconic silhouette. Undoubtedly one of the best customisers in the game, the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 has also been given a bright makeover, reworked with pastel-hued overlays that bring a whole new vibe to the OG design.
