Swaves - "Piet Mondrian" Dunk Hi

Everyone knows (or has at least seen) the work of "Piet Mondrian". This was a pet project for me that I have been wanting to do for quite some time now. There are 3 main reasons I decided to dive into these. #1 Although this pattern has "been done" many times before, I have yet to see a pair of customs that didn't leave me thinking that I could do better. #2 Due to the design, and the number of straight/clean lines involved in pulling this off, these customs do a great job of showcasing my skill with a paint brush. And #3 I think Mondrian's work is awesome! :P

As always every line was done freehand without tape or masking. There are imperfections in it (unfortunately heh) but I am only human after all :P
Hope you like them!

I have the Piet lows and I was always bothered by the fact that they let the lines curve. The point of Mondrian's work is that he wanted to prove how variable a straight line and three colors could be. To curve the lines is to vary from what Mondrian meant to do in the first place. I love that you kept his lines straight. Oh so straight. Swaves straight.

I actually thought about you when I started work on these. I knew you had the Piet Dunks, and I believe I saw you post them as your "holy grail" shoe once on instagram or something. I was a little nervous you wouldn't like mine heh.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm glad you like em. I think I might do a pair of Lows as well when I get some time.

Hehe "Oh so straight. Swaves straight" I like that :P

"Swaves straight" lol I'm gonna use that!
This is like THE perfect project for you and your skillset...crisp, clean lines? Yeah, that's all you man. I'm not that familiar w/the artist, but these are visually pleasing
