Posted by jroxx on June 1, 2008

Saw these on Kicks on Fire and just had to share them with everyone. Forgive the fact that they spelled Jimi Hendrix’s name wrong, these are some dope ass kicks!!!!!

Here’s what Kick’s on Fire had to say about them:

Here is a detailed look at the amazing Jimmy Hendrix Experience – Custom Nike Dunk High designed by one of the top customizers in the sneaker community, Dez. Dez is known for his great artwork and clean style and he is also the creator of the famous Do The Dew Dunks. The inspiration for the artwork on this pair comes straight from the great guitarist, singer and songwriter, Jimmy Hendrix.

The shoe itself is a masterpiece as it cleverly features the names of many of Jimmy Hendrix songs which were indeed smash top charts hits in the United States and the United Kingdom. Some of his song titles featured on the shoes include:

  • Are you experienced?
  • Fire
  • Foxy Lady
  • Hey Joe
  • Purple Haze
  • Voodoo Child
  • What if 6 was 9?

These wonderful Jimmy Hendrix Experience – Custom Nike Dunk High features a deep red and yellow color-way which is a perfect combination. Special props to Dez for creating such a shoe which is definitely going to inspire other artists to extract their inspiration for future projects from the past history and legends.
