TTK was asked to make a pair of custom Nikes for Jabee, an up-and-coming rapper from Oklahoma City. The Submerged Touch Nike Dunks was TTK’s effort to play around with different color profiles from past sneakers like the Obama Blazers. I think that the designer was successful in creating a unique sneaker for Jabee without sacrificing any of his artistic integrity.
The Submerged Touch Nike Dunks depend on the precarious balance between two very different patterns. We can see the black/gray pattern on the heel wrap, toe and eyelets which is modeled after the imprint of a fingerprint. The black/teal striped pattern running from the middle panel to the heel tag adds flares of color to these custom Dunks.
TTK’s latest customs do justice to the rap style and skills of Jabee the Rapper. If you want to get in touch with TTK for your own customs, you can reach him at gottkgo@yahoo.com. While the patterns used on the Submerged Touch Nike Dunks may not be conventional, I think that TTK is showing that designers should break away from convention when given a wide berth by clients.
