Ecentrik Artistry "Summer Love" Series

Summertime is my favorite time of the year. So many cool things to do: Fun at the Jersey shores, the beaches, the boardwalks, cotton candy & funnel cakes, amusement parks, ocean surfing, cookouts, outdoor concerts/events, I can go on and on...so what better shoe theme to do this time of year than a summer theme? There's no better time than to come up with a set of shoes based on the fun of summer, so I present the Summer Love Series:



1. "Island Cocktail" Custom Air Max 90

Now although i'm not really a drinker (don't much like the taste of alcohol) I always had this fascination with how cool a lot of those fancy drinks look..Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiians,Strawberry Daiquiris (a non-alcoholic one for me), etc..



So I wanted to do something that interpreted the colorful mixes that a lot of these drinks have, and here's the result:










The color blends represent the different fruits and flavorings that bring out brightness and taste of these different drinks (btw, the color blending/fading is done by hand and not with an airbrush). Now all that's missing is a cocktail umbrella and a straw!

2. "Surf's Up!" Custom Air Max 90

Now i've never in my life been surfing, but the idea of hitting the cool waves on a hot summer day does seem appealing & I can see how it would be a nice adrenaline rush:



So I took the surfing idea and combined it with the idea of this cool surfboard design I came across:



So the idea of the "Surf's Up!" shoe was born:









The mix of blues on the lower panel represent the sparkling blue ocean waves while the aqua & orange pattern in the upper area was inspired by the surfboard design. There's even a silhouette on the rear panels of surfers catching some waves!

Did I mention all the sand I got in my shoes while I was taking these pics? :-)

3. "Tropical Sunset" Custom Air Force One Low

There's nothing quite like the beauty of a nice sunset...especially one from the view of an island or beach:




So I wanted to bring out that vibe with the "Tropical Sunset" custom Air Force Ones:









The shoes have the perfect shading to represent the sun setting on a warm summer night. Complete with silhouettes of palm trees, beach sand, and seagulls (another one of my favorite reminders of summer), this shoe captures the perfect feel of a summer sunset. This shoe idea was actually conceived about 2 years ago & i'm actually glad I didn't do it then as it gave me the chance to revisit and rework it perfectly (along with inspire 2 other pair to make it a collection!).
