A lot of Nike Air Customs sneakers have been spotted all over town for a long time but nothing gets the attention as much as the Nike Air Rip Hamilton Customs. This one carries the story of Tyler Way who started designing while still a freshman and ended up with this eye-catching Nike Air custom design.

After successfully building a network of popular sportsmen including LeBron James, Worldwide Wes and Tayshaun Prince you now see the Nike Air Rip Hamilton Customs, a great example of what customs sneakers should be.

Tyler Way has done at least six pairs of customs sneakers for Rip Hamilton and this is only one of them. After snipping the coating and putting layers of paint on the leather Way does what he does best—draws free handed on his sneaker canvas without need of stencils and tape.

The Nike Air Rip Hamilton Customs has a brown upper with a mud brown toe box. But what will keep you looking back is the small girl right at the canvas who seems to be calling you.
