Watchmen x Jordan Brand Custom Sneaker Collection Part 1 by Sekure D

One of The Blot’s highlights of Designer Con 2012 was meeting Australian artist Sekure D! While I’d been familiar with his amazing custom work for a while, I had no idea he was as huge of a comic book fan as I am. We talked a lot of comics that day, and I could definitely feel the passion Sekure D has for Alan Moore’s seminal work, the hit DC Comics maxi-series Watchmen. So it should have come as no surprise that he’s been working on an amazing series of custom Watchmen Air Jordan sneakers!

It’s been a really long time since I’ve featured custom sneakers here on TheBlotSays.com, but the minute I saw these amazing sneakers I knew I had to blog about them ASAP! Sekure D’s Watchmen x Air Jordan capsule is an ongoing project that features different Air Jordan sneakers customized in honor of a different Watchmen character. Three designs have already been released and are currently sold out: Rorschach Air Jordan IV sneakers, Comedian Air Jordan VI sneakers and Dr. Manhattan Air Jordan IV sneakers.

But for those of you interested in getting a pair, Sekure D’s newest Watchmen custom sneakers are these beautiful purple and gold Ozymandias Air Jordan VII sneakers, which were released earlier this month via Sekure D’s online store and are still available in select sizes. Next up are designs based on Silk Spectre and Night Owl, and then Sekure D will finish his Watchmen series with a mystery design that is guaranteed to knock your socks off! The Blot seriously can’t wait to find out what it is!
