JBF created the Kaboom Nike Dunks for a client who wanted to give his kid some nice customs. The Kaboom! Nike Dunks balance simple colors with complex design, a trademark of JBF’s work. I found these photos at the Nike Talk post linked airnk.com.
If you start your examination of the Nike Kaboom Dunks from the heel, you may not think much of these customs. With the exception of a pair of pink pupils emerging from the black panel, JBF left the back half of the Kaboom Shoes! Dunks clean. The designer focused his attention on the eyelets and toes, setting off some artistic explosions around the white toe box.
JBF used jagged black lines to create the shock waves surrounding pink/white flash points. Instead of setting off a few simple explosions, JBF overlapped the shock waves to simulate all-out war. The designer’s use of subtle colors like black, gray and white allowed the pink flash points stand out. The Kaboom Nike Dunks Shoes demonstrate JBF’s ability to make sophisticated sneakers without resorting to wild colors and crazy graphics.
