This is what I get for not checking this thread for 2 months. SMH. Totally missed these IDs.Not bad, but if I were to be nitpicky, I wished the curry color wasn’t so bright, almost orange IRL I prefer it to be more brown toned. However very happy I chose the ice blue translucent outsole! This is from the round 3 orders.

for the heads-up!) This might be a long post/story, so I'll make it as short as possible. Also, please ignore my Chrome bookmarks haha.
That's awesome man, sorry for your loss. Always tough. Great job on the kicks. Your design is MUCH different than most folks on here and very thoughtful/unique. I was ****ting a brick trying to get my designs done before they sold out. You nailed it, what a great tribute!
My NBY finally came in (thanks again SO MUCH
My design isn't gonna be as quite different as most folks here, but I designed this colorway dedicated to my dog who passed away on Air Max Day this year (3/26/22). One of the hardest days of my life and I still have moments of grief here and there. His name was Turbo and he was 18 years and 4 months old (almost 18.5, basically). This guy and my oldest brother were the ones that helped me get rid of my fear of dogs because I had no choice but to be stuck with him since 2004 when I was SO afraid of dogs. Trust me; he may look adorable, but the dog was an ******* to people and even to some of us (including myself) at times, but it's just unconditional love that can't be forgotten. Them chihuahua-terriers,y'all...
Anyway, I'll explain the colorway. I don't think the colors itself match his coat 1:1, but it's really damn close.
As to whether I'll wear them, I'm not sure yet. I used to walk him every morning and since his passing, I always go on a walk on my own and I thought to myself that'd be one occasion when I'd wear the shoes. The other would also be on 3/26.
- The entire Light Curry upper (I think that's what I chose) represents his coat, with the suede parts and fuzzy Swoosh + laces made the perfect mix of his coat.
- The white tongue represents the stripe on his face and his stomach/chest coat.
- The black eyelets is for his eyes (and I guess the tongue patch is for the nose? Might be a stretch of a coincidence)
- The safari mudguard replicates the gradual fade down his legs while the white midsole is for his paws.
- The faint lilac Air unit is for the kwik (the pink part inside the nails where dogs will hate you forever if you clip their nails too deep into that).
- Black outsole is just for the bottom of paws.
- The fuzzy Light Curry laces is for his spinal coat which is a very rich orange-gold.
- The Light Sport Royal laces are for the collar that we have for him and for the harness for his walks/outings.
Here's the "collar/harness" laces.
Damn, I miss him. RIP, Turbo.
Great story and thanks for sharing the meaning behind your customization. Long live the memory of turbo!

Gona start up a regional sock styling war lolLove everything but the socks
.
mine got the same pearlized crappy airbags i didnt and i chose clear smh
Ditto...Beyond annoying i cant even get 1 pair.
Haha all good, I just assumed that was such a classic neutral colorway that someone as yourself would be in line for it.Never liked those TBH. There are a BUNCH of AM1 classic/collaboration colorways that most covet that I don’t really care about. I appreciate them, but I wouldn’t scoop unless they can be acquired for an outlet price/steal.
