Immortalizing Rap

In the world of custom sneakers, every creation tells a unique story. Today, we are proud to present our latest project, a tribute to two rap legends, 2Pac and Notorious BIG.

This special "2Pac & Notorious Big" custom celebrates these icons who have marked the history of music.

Inspiration

The idea for this custom came to us while thinking about the immense contributions of 2Pac and Notorious BIG to rap culture. These two iconic figures are not only artists, but symbols of an entire era. Their lyrics, their style and their rivalry have left an indelible mark on the world of music. As lovers of sneakers and urban culture, we wanted to pay tribute to these two giants by creating a pair of Nike Air Force 1 that captures their essence.

Context

Creating this custom was a deep dive into rap history for us. We wanted to celebrate not only their music, but their cultural impact. 2Pac and Biggie Small (Notorious BIG) each have a unique style and a poignant story that continues to inspire millions of people around the world. By dedicating this pair of sneakers to them, we want to perpetuate their legacy and allow our customers to wear a piece of that history on their feet.

Techniques Used

To carry out this project, we used paint specially designed for leather, thus ensuring the durability and quality of the illustrations. Each pair is hand painted, with meticulous attention to detail. Once the painting is finished, we apply a protective varnish to ensure the longevity of the artwork. This artisanal technique allows us to create unique pieces, where every detail is thought out and carefully made.

Materials

We chose Nike Air Force 1s as the canvas for this project. This iconic sneaker culture shoe provides the perfect surface for our designs. The AF1s, already synonymous with style and quality, lend themselves perfectly to customization. Their sturdy material and classic design serve as the perfect base for our artwork.

Emotion

Creating this custom was an emotional journey. Painting the faces of 2Pac and Notorious BIG left us with a deep sense of nostalgia and admiration for their journey and influence. We want everyone who wears this pair to feel that same emotion. This is more than just a pair of shoes; it’s a tribute to legends, a constant reminder of their impact and legacy.

Conclusion

With this "2Pac & Notorious Big" custom, we hope to offer our customers not only a unique pair of sneakers, but also a piece of history to wear proudly. Every brushstroke, every detail is a tribute to these rap icons. We are confident that this creation will rekindle fans' nostalgia and help keep 2Pac and Notorious BIG's legacy alive through time.

At MyCustom, we put our heart and passion into each of our creations. We hope you enjoy this custom as much as we enjoyed creating it. Join us on this artistic and cultural journey, and wear a piece of rap history on your feet.
