Sneaker customisation has become the next evolution in the sneaker craze, with a few good ones scattered in between some of the downright crazy and ugly. Last year I posted the custom Louis Vuitton X adidas NMD_R1 designed by German artist Sneakersnbonsai for Craig David. Riding the current Black Panther wave of enthusiasm, sneaker customiser Mammothnamedjim has created a pair befitting of the Wakanda Kingdom.
The design was built on the base of an adidas Dame 4 silhouette and has been customised to look the part, ready to be worn on the streets by T’Challa himself. The Wakanda Forever Dame 4 features a Vibranium upper paired with boost sole for unprecedented energy return, as is on Black Panther’s suit.
Unfortunately, as with most custom sneakers, this is a one-off and won’t be available to the mass market anytime soon, if ever. Given the going rate of custom shoes, anywhere between $1,000 and $5,000, would you see yourself ordering a pair? How much would you be willing to pay for the Wakanda Forever Dame 4?
