We're doing things differently for this video as Vick Almighty goes through his top 10 customs of all time. With years of custom sneakers to choose from, it's time for Vick Almighty to rank them.
#10 — Kicking off the list at number 10 is the Ralph Lauren x Air Jordan 4. The pair was made for Reshoevn8r's own Akil, who was celebrating his birthday. Akil owned the OG Polo Stadium hoodie from 1992, and Vick used it as inspiration and executed it to a tee with the Air Jordan 4. Vick combined the 2017 Air Jordan 4 "Motorsport" and the 2020 Air Jordan 4 "Fire Red" to create the perfect Polo-inspired base.
#9 —At number 9 is the Kid Cudi x Air Jordan 4. The Footprint Center reached out to Vick to create a sneaker for Kid Cudi as his tour was making its way to Phoenix. A galaxy theme was an absolute must for this pair. Using the "Military Black" Air Jordan 4 as the base, Vick's challenge was to make sure it came out great using the dye. Vick used a ton of iridescent tones to elevate the pair. But that wasn't all. Vick added LED lights to the Air unit and still made the pair wearable. Laser engraving his logo on the panel added that extra attention to detail.
#8 — During the height of the Jordan 1 hype during the pandemic, Vick linked up with Max to handmake a 1985 Air Jordan 1 "Bred." The materials, dimensions, and details were 1-to-1 of the original Air Jordan 1s. The project was done in three days. And when Vick says handmade, he means it. Everything had to be cut, painted, glued, stitched, etc. The only thing that came "as is" was the Jordan 1 sole.
#7 — One of the craziest projects to date is at number 7 with the laser-engraved Air Jordan 3 Low. The story, people, and time behind this project made it memorable. During Kobe Bryant's sneaker free agency in the early 2000s, Nike created a special 1-of-1 pair that a lot of people don't know about: an Air Jordan 3 Low. To bring this sneaker to life, Vick brought a Dream Team of customizers to help with the project. Vick's good friend Brian received the original pattern designed by Mark Smith for the sneaker, and that led to helping craft the upper.
#6 — Almost making the top 5, but landing at number 6 is the Deadpool & Wolverine Air Jordan 1 Lows. With the help of Jordan Diab and his one-piece upper approach, Vick and he were able to make something different ahead of the Marvel movie premiere. The small details made a big difference for this project.
#5 — Jordan Brand's Fusion era inspired this custom Air Jordan 4 x Nike Air Force 1 Fusion. Using the upper of the Air Force 1 and the sole of the Air Jordan 4, this project prompted a few challenges. But in the end, it was absolutely worth it. It even had people thinking that the shoe was a real release.
#4 — Almost making the top 3 was the Nike Book 1 for Ice Cube. Instead of making another Jordan 1 or Air Force 1, Vick used Devin Booker's Nike Book 1 as the base of this project. The details and tight turnaround made that one a memorable one from 2024.
#3 — Starting the top 3 is the Stone Cold Steve Austin x Air Jordan 1. Although there were plenty of wrestlers to choose from, Stone Cold's logos and quotes were a treasure chest of inspiration.
#2 — At number 2 is the Killmonger football cleats for Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch. With Marshawn and Killmionger both from Oakland, the custom was a no-brainer. A lot of details from the materials and textures went into the pair while still making sure Beast Mode could ball out in the pair. Although the pair was supposed to hit the gridiron, Marshawn wanted it as a decorative piece and sent one of the shoes to Vick, signed by the man himself.
#1 — Finally, Vick's top custom of all time: the Phoenix Suns x Air Jordan 4. After 40 hours of work, the pair is Vick's favorite. The story around the jerseys and project was the Suns' turquoise jerseys, dedicated to the 22 Indigenous tribes in the Valley. The goal was to transfer all the details from the uniforms to the sneakers.
