Aaron De La Cruz Nike Air Force 1 Custom for Hypebeast
October 23, 2008 ⋅ Uncategorized ⋅ by Staff ⋅ 25 Views

In a great showing of appreciation, Bay-area artist Aaron De La Cruz hooked it up big-time with this custom white/white Nike Air Force 1. Skillfully done exclusively by hand with a drill, the abstract Keith Haring-esque marks are seen throughout the front inlay and heel. The pattern is a ” mixture of line and space and trying to keep a consistent appearance of a repetitive pattern, and digital feel, but keeping the process organic and man made.” For more information on Aaron De La Cruz as well as seeing his style on other mediums, his website can be seen at AaronDeLaCruz.com.
