those Pokemon sneakers. the detail , the colors , they belong in a shop window

i cant stand pokemon, but those are crazy good, the colors are so vibrant and togther so well. i have to vote for those. like you said, the creator captures the characters size really well and the character touching or merging onto other panels of the shoe was executed perfectly. great shoes but this one is easy for me. im going with the pokemon

The Nintendo’s were so fuckin godly

Thank you Dillion for reviewing my COD customs! This is so dope

I really thought my shoes were fire till i saw the rest of the competition. So dope!

WOW! This episode blew me off of my chair! The Top 4 is actually insane, kudos to all four of the artists. You are all winners here! Splendid work. Your future is looking really bright!

The Kali Kolkection is my favorite! So much detail in the shoes, the box, AND AN APP! So crazy!

Definitely the Pokèmon customs. They're so beautifully done. Great attention to detail. They're very different from a lot of customs I've seen. So sO DOPE! Kudos to 3tCustoms. Great job everyone.

1st shoe is CRAZY!!! What attention to detail! Nice!

Those Nintendo AF1s are so fire 🔥

Love the cool of duty ones the best

Amazing job to all artists! Thank you for showcasing my Pokemon shoes!

That Call of Duty kicks is unreal with an app!😱

Thank you for reviewing and picking me for the final four !! 🤯🙌🏽

I like the simplicity of the NES ones, but I feel like the COD Or Pokémon are my pick. I think the Pokémon ones aren’t that wearable, cause I have heard that if you paint on a midsole the paint can crack. I also feel like if they wanted to make the characters larger they coulda picked a different sillouhete, like the AJ1 since they are a mid top so they have more height. Although, they look absolutely stunning and I do like that they painted on the midsole even though you might not wear them that much. They look like a great addition to a shelf though! As for the call of duty ones, they’re also incredible. The detail and the fact that he was so dedicated he made a whole app for it? Wow. I like that kinda hazy war kinda look y’know? However, I feel like if you walk around in them, because of the neutral colors, people might not make the connection at first glance. I think that he made a perfect transition from COD to a sneaker. However I think ima choose Pokémon because even though a different sillouhete might have granted them the space they needed, I think that the backgrounds and the foregrounds are beatiful. I don’t even like Pokémon that much and I would wear them. Those were stunning. And trust me, the other sneakers, practically TIED for second. They all did an incredible job. Congratulations to everyone.

The only professional looking shoe that would actually be made by a Nike are the Nintendo Air Force 1s. All the other shoes just looked like regular people who make custom shoes, because there is just drawings all over the shoe that aren’t matching with the other shoe. The Nintendo AF1 were very well made to match the other shoe and looks more professionally made including the box.

Kalikollection nailed it, love how these turned out ! Way to go Steven!!

These are fantastic. I don't paint shoes but the translation of the art is still perfect for the inspiration I need. Some really bad ass artists out there. Well done. Love that you have this platform to help them be seen.

Those Nintendo AF1’s are SICK AF! 🤍🖤😍

I really dig the Nintendo Kicks. From the outside box to the inside box lid & finally the Kicks. Plus the heat up feature & the button leather Patch. I'm in the beginner stage of trying to design my own. Want to really get on that level

these folks really upped what it takes to make it to a DCF final four - bravo!!

There's so many incredible artists out there that do amazing work! It's inspiring for myself, since I've been doing custom work for the last 5 years now. The inspiration to push the boundaries of my work is really getting a boost each time I watch these videos. Congrats to all the artists who made the final 4! You guys killed it! 🔥🔥🔥🙏💯

The Pokémon ones are🔥🔥🔥soo much attention to detail and super nostalgic!

The first one's are fire🔥

I didn’t get final four, but I still enjoyed competing with other customizers. Its almost crazy how I hear that some of the contestants started this year. Congratulations to the final four and may the best win. I think that all four were absolutely insane💯✊🏾

i just started watching this series........ and its amazing and awesome. i like it a lot

these are all INSANE!!!

Oh my so professional in all ways.

The Nintendo shoes are badass

Man I love your videos

Can’t wait for the vid to drop!! I’m working on some kicks right now & your fading color video really helped a lot!!! Thank you sensei Dylan🤲🏾

Damn. All shoes are fire! but the pokemon one is dope!

The nintendo design its the best

A shoe company should have a few creators like the ones you have on ya show do more forces they would sell crazy

Sooo crazy dope the NES shoe ❤

#1 NES, winner by far. From the box to the shoe

Mad talented peeps out there. Blessings to all

I’ve never been this early for anything

I love your vids man

The pokemon have to be my fav but they all are sick

Congrats to all the finalists!!!!!

All the shoes were really clean and something that I would only put up for decoration. They are that nice. IMO I think the Pokémon shoes were my faves but dang they were all masterpieces

Crazy top 4🔥🙌

Amazing entries!

I love theses video's

Honestly, I gotta pick the god of War kicks. I really liked the other ones but the god of war shoes are the only ones I can actually see myself wearing.

The sure wrap the kicks in good!

ALL IM GOING TO SAY IS OMG!!!!!! MOUTH DROPPED.

how do i enter a pair of my customs for review?

1. The velcro cartridges were a little cheesy but the custom was otherwise perfect, box too. 2. The artwork was fantastic but overall as a shoe really didn't do it for me. 3. I didnt care for the team names on the toe boxes but the theme and graphics were absolutely amazing. 4. The red liner/tongue was a brilliant choice to tie together the dark portraits and bright logo banner. All were superb customs with my favorite being the NES ones followed closely by the Pokemon, then GoW and lastly the CoD. My only bad critique would be that this man has never played God of War but knew everything about Pokemon 😉

That cod zombie gun box is NASTYYYYY

I love this series

The nintendo shoes n box was fire n creative

Some great work on these customs 💪 will have to get some of my customs sent out to you from the UK 🇬🇧 👍

whoever made those Nintendo's 😮 omfg those were top tier I would deff pay TOP dollar for those

The nes ones were crazy 🔥🔥

These fye 🔥🔥

No we're close as good as these guys! Haven't even started my first pair yet but these videos are most definitely inspiring me to give this a try as a small hobbie first. My first pair would be NFL Detroit lions Honolulu Blue style. Something simple with Detroit lions logo fabric.

That color changing power button!!! 👌

What up guys ‼️

All really cool work.

Those nintendo ones are amazing. I want a pair to go with my original, still in perfect working order NES

Unreal

Minus the Pokémon ones the rest of them are soooo good

The first one was a 10/10 fire 🔥

I like the nintendo ones

Nintendo's were dope, a little rough around the edges. Call of duty probably had the best airbrushing...didn't like the white fabrics..feel like more could've been done there. Laces n aggs a nice touch. Pokemon, this guy nailed it. Crispy. God of war, little rough but I do love the two-shoe connecting portrait. Pokemon was no question, a tier up on the competition.

This is awesome

The Nintendo joints were the cleanest!

my favorite Pokemon is the Nicki Minaj Pokemon

Do you paint the sole exactly the same way as painting the rest of the shoe? I want to customise some platform sneakers for my wedding and I am not wearing white so the white on the shoe has to go.

Big Steve! Good job on the Nintendo kicks!

Amazing

Those COD are straight 🔥🔥

the Nintendo ones are crazy holy shit

The Nintendo ones are clean af

It’d be sick if the Elite Four was on Jordan 4s. Idk how you could pull it off, but that would just be perfect

No one talking about how the one guy put Ghost on the CoD shoes when the shoes were based off Black Ops and Ghost is a MW character?

What amazing art , final 4 rocks , Nintendo gets my vote

Lessssgo

AYO

Happy new year master

Maybe the last person has only been customizing shoes for a few months.....but they've been an artist for years! That's the part they conveniently leave out lol. I wanna see some shoes from someone who has never really drawn or done much with art before, and has only been customizing shoes for like a year or so. I'd like to see some shoes from some true newbies lol. I'd like to see where people started, and then see where they are at now.....not just where they are at now. I feel like seeing where people started and where there are now, gives newbies like myself hope. Whereas when all you see is the final outcome, it kind of discourages you from even wanting to start in the first place :( When you see where someone started, and see where they ended up....that makes someone think: "okay, if they can do that, then I can do it to." Whereas when all you see is where they are now, all you think to yourself is: "damn, there's no way I could ever do something like that." Even if in reality anyone can with time. I know its strange, but thats just how the mind works, or at least mine lol. One of these days you should make a video that showcases one of someone's first custom shoes to ones they have now, and seeing how much someone has progressed :) :) I'd absolutely LOVE to see a video like that!!

I think a fallout 4 shoe would look pretty cool.

Those Pokémon ones are the winner

But I like the first one becuz it was art intergrated into the style of the shoe like with the swish and all rather then just do portraits over a shoe .....

3 hrs early

Pokemon and GOW are top class. Not only the details but the quality. The nintendo was cool but to many sloppy areas when he zoomed in. Pokemon and GOW are the top dogs period.

How does anyone pick a favorite?

How and where do we see who won?

WOAH, POGGER

Definitely Nintendo

The Nintendo ones are really amazing!! #askdfc (I hope the hashtag is correct.) My questions are: Do you have special tips to deal with metallic paints? Also, do you recommend to do a white layer before working with other colours when working with a black canvas like the Nintendo one? Thank you! And thank you for sharing your knowledge! :-)

early gang 😎

Ima be in a contest one day bro!

Pokémon or God of war!

Those Nintendo shits is Cray Cray!

THAT FUCKING MYSTERY BOX HOLY SHIT

3:53 unless he made the sole look vintage.

Imagine if Nike hired shoe customisers to make 1 of 1 shoes
