    And now, the away kits (Midnight Navy/fade-to-Photo Blue/University Red)

    ...and yes HomeatHighbury, I DO have a unique style of dealing with things, so get used to it :), it has been effective for me both on stage and also in real life, and also, when it comes to being a fan of my favorite sports teams, including The Arsenal, as these custom Nike ID Hyperdunk Low 2014's will prove, to go with both the home and away strips from 2002-03, I plan to get them made in the beginning of April, and in 3-5 weeks, they will be finished.

    BTW, there is a unique dual purpose for my choice of number, the 14 is in part in tribute to The Greatest to ever grace the pitch of Highbury, that being none other than The King Himself, Thierry Henry, but also, long before I found out about him, it has also been the number I wear on my Heavy Metal Warrior gear as "The 14th Warrior", and is inspired by the 1999 film "The 13th Warrior", starring Antonio Banderas, in other words, me being the alternate to go into battle with the Viking Warriors in that epic film.

    I feel like you've been properly introduced now, Homeat.

    The awkwardness is over.

    Open poll:

    How many of you like my designs for my custom Nike ID Hyperdunk Low 2014 kicks I did up?

    I plan on getting them done up in early April and later on plan to get a second set for them done up so I can truly show my Arsenal fandom, much like I currently do for my other favorite sports team, the Los Angeles/Oakland/and-soon-to-be-back-in Los Angeles Raiders!!!

    Now if only The Gunners wore those in 2002-03 as their on field footwear (with studs/cleats of course) I'll bet we could've won the Cup/League double back-to-back years, just think of how good Thierry Henry would've looked in them (in this clip the red/white Nike ID Hyperdunk Low 2014 as football cleats) as he was going from coast-to-coast on that epic solo job he did against THEM at Highbury during that season, you know, something epic, like THIS:

    Well 3 hours and $359.70 ago, I just ordered my customized NikeID Hyperdunk Low 2014 Arsenal Editions to go with both of each my 2002-03 home and away jerseys, with different color schemes for both, but, before I placed my order, I made a mod in my choice of the away ones, I decided to go with a solid Midnight Navy/University Red scheme as opposed to my previous choice on having a fade pattern from Photo Blue-to-Midnight Navy, after checking (and double-checking) my Arsenal 2002-03 away jersey to see if its fade pattern on the front would work with it, and it didn't, if they offered a University Blue-to-Midnight Navy fade pattern I would've used that, and using solid University Blue did not work as a midsole as it completely dominated the entire shoe's look, when one the jersey it was only on the front of it, so it would not have worked, so solid Midnight Navy/University Red was the final choice, as it would also work with my Gold O2 jersey from that year too., so here are the profiles of my custom kicks, which will be ready in less than 5 weeks, and you will all be the first to see them, both through Photobucket and YouTube when I take delivery of them!!! :)

    Also, I have plans to get matching Nike Elite Basketball crew socks in the same colorways too, and even have plans to get pants with them too, I'm caught in between Nike Golf up on eBay and some no-name pair out of China on eBay, and like the rest, in both Navy/Red and Red/White: :)

    The Home ones first:

    Thanks for the compliment! :) I believe that's because the first ones I posted were mere stock photos from Nike themselves, the gallery of photos later posted were all hand-shot with my Sony DSC-W290 Cyber-Shot camera in 5-megapixel mode (it can go up to 12.1 MP, but does that really even matter when it comes to uploading to Photobucket for use on the web?).

    And as always, I DO appreciate the input from my fellow Gooners, now the only thing left to go is a pair of golf pants to go with each setup, one in red and one in navy (to go with my 2002-03 O2-sponsored home and away strips respectively).
