“Coastalized” Nike N7 to benefit students in GED program.
Jul 08, 2009

This is my first Nike N7  customization.  This shoe is typically available only as an incentive for participating in a health program. My co-worker earned this pair by winning the “biggest looser” competition at the Muckleshoot Wellness Center. He gave them to me so that I could trick ‘em out and sell them. The proceeds will be used to buy incentives for the students in the GED program, where my co-worker is the lead instructor.

All 4 sides of this shoe will have a different theme. This side is the wolf. I figure by the time im finished, ill be really good at this new medium. It’s much different than working on Vans or Chucks.
