I profiled an elaborate pair of customs called the Wall of Skulls Nike Dunks from Qustom Queen Sneaker Artwork last weekend. The mixture of elaborate heel design and subtle colors show the designer’s level of sophistication. The Phone Home Converse All Stars found at the Facebook page linked here show Qustom Queen’s whimsical side.
Qustom Queen depicted the iconic scene in E.T. where Elliott and E.T. are flying on a bicycle on the way to a waiting spaceship. The Phone Home Converse All Stars are detailed down to the pointy limbs of the pine trees silhouetted against the night sky. The scene is replicated perfectly on all four sides of these sneakers without sacrificing the visual quality of the image.
The Phone Home Converse All Stars capture the sense of imagination and possibility in Spielberg’s 1983 classic. Qustom Queen shows a different type of complexity on these custom Converse All Stars, resurrecting a classic movie without resorting to cliche or caricature. The designer can be reached at qustomqueen@yahoo.co.uk for questions, custom orders and comments about her work.
