0o0ohh!

Designer Peter Kim created art project Methamphibian in an effort to encourage a community of designers to apply their aesthetics to everyday items. Methamphibian puts out premium priced shirts, pants and shoes which have been worn by finicky art fans around the world. The custom Nike Dunk Lows shown in this entry are part of a series of shoes called the Skulls of Saigon.
These shoes are out of reach for many sneaker fans due to their $480 sticker price as well as a limited number of sizes available. If you can scrounge up enough money, you will realize that these shoes are a good investment. We all know the quality and comfort of the untouched Nike Dunk Low. The inclusion of turquoise and pink accents on the shoe as well as a series of ominous skulls in black and white make this pair of sneakers an example of life’s contrasts.
