White and Black Speckled Air Max 1

Brick and Mortar’s White and Black Speckled Air Max 1 show that the simplest artistic touches can make a world of difference. The designer’s original white/black Air Maxes are shown at the bottom of this post. The original midsoles on Brick and Mortar’s shoes were far too white for his tastes. These photos were found on the designer’s latest Nike Talk post linked here.

Instead of slathering paint on the entire shoe, Brick and Mortar focused his creativity on the midsole. He used a mixture of light gray, dark gray and black to create a color contrast with the rest of the shoe. The speckling effect also serves a functional purpose by reducing the amount of white space that can be stained by dirt, salt and mud.

The White and Black Speckled Air Max 1 may not be elaborate but they show why sneaker art is a thriving form of expression. Brick and Mortar did not need to draw complex patterns or employ bright paints to make these sneakers his own. If you want to check out more work from this designer, check out his blog linked here.
