Custom shoe designing has been going on for as far back as I can remember and it has definitely always been an expensive hobby. I remember I wanted to get some custom Nike shoes created one time and I was quoted a price of $400. Since it was a little out of my budget, I ended up having to lace up some new Pumas instead. However, one fan of the custom variety recently commissioned Jacob Patterson of JacobPattersonArt.com to create him some sick ass God of War Nike shoes — which I’m dubbing — Shoes of War.

Anyway, this bad boys are pretty badass overall. I don’t even want to know how much they cost to commission, but I’m sure it was a pretty penny. Check ’em out below.
