Daniel Reese aka Brass Monki, a 23 year old artist has three passions in life: design, sneakers and pop-culture. In 2009 he found a way to combine these passions to create something that just might blow your mind away.
The first time I laid my eyes on these irresistible pimped up Nike shoes, doodled with utmost quality and art, my first instinct was place an order right away. But before that I decided to share it with our readers and see what kind of response they get.
Reese orders plain white Nike dunks and customizes them in any way you want. My personal favorite is of course this Darth Vader shoe above, other then that I won't mind owning Spiderman, Smurfs, Mario, Spongebob, Wolverine or perhaps all of them. ;)
When Reese first started doodling shoes, he posted them on his blog and with that he received so much of appreciation and popularity, that it encouraged Reese to start working on expanding Brass Monki, with merchandise consisting of t-shirts, key rings, stickers and other stuff. He is working very hard in making Brass Monki a well known brand...and looking at his work, his vision does not seem far fetched.
Here are some of my favorite designs:
Important Update:
Although the designs are beautiful and creative, but unfortunately the maker of Brass Monki seems to be running a scam. We've received many updates from our readers complaining about the total unprofessionalism from his end. Please think twice before buying them.

This is a scam, this guy did not deliver anything, just took my money, and did nothing... Search online, you'll see I'm not alone. He now keeps ignoring my emails asking for refund even if he said he would do it... Shame, total rip-off!

I was gonna buy one of these, but then I saw that no one gets the shoes, and only the people who are serious about suing him, or getting him arrested get a refund
