Call this Chef cooking up Beef Part II, directed at the boys across the pond of course. Call it capitalizing on an increase in google searches for “flower bomb” AF1 if you like. Either way, my website works and this custom is much more creative than just an embroidered patch slapped on an AF1. If you can read between the lines, the use of Banksy’s Flower Bomber is a direct shot at the UK based guys who launched their embroidered patch custom. Why they did not think to reference a UK Based artist as great as Banksy in their own custom is beyond me. It seemed like an opportunity missed. Well the Banksy on this custom AF1 did not miss, he clearly launches his bouquet at the front of the sneaker and lands a direct hit, with the floral explosion at the frontal panel, which then wraps around the entire inboard side of the shoe (not yet shown).
The printed floral pattern is fused directly to the sneaker, a process I have used for all of my 15 years in the custom sneaker craft. The process is durable and water resistant.

This custom uses the patina effect and copper paint. The base shoe used is a 30th Anniversary Year of the Dragon AF1. The final piece is nothing short of an amazing work of wearable art. Contrast copper brushed scaled over a patina texture. Copper swoosh, eyestay, and vamp. Teal colored lining and accents. The woven tongue has even been painted in copper. The entire leather midsole also wears the patina effect, atop the stock icey blue sole, the bluish green patina pops brilliantly.
For a similar custom, please Commission Chef and send in your own base pair of AF1’s (the $450 budget is just fine for something just like this)
Patina is a individualized effect prized for its unique aesthetic and found primarily in copper pieces that have been exposed to oxidation.
