If you're having trouble coming up with new custom designs, it might help you to check out some of the insane customs that have been submitted to us on IG lately.

Every week we get hundreds of amazing submissions and try to highlight some of our favorites. Take a look at these incredible custom kicks to get some inspiration for your next project.

Russell Westbrook Customs

Russell Westbrook has accomplished a lot in his career in the last few years. He's only a few years out of being named MVP and is on his third straight season of averaging a triple-double.

Despite these accomplishments, one of the things he's most known for is his fashion. So, it should be no surprise that these amazing customs by sponsored artist @kelshmeamy were made specifically for the NBA's fashion king. They might be a little bold for some people, but they're perfect for a guy that showed up to a game in a bright orange vest.

Sponsored artist @truebluecustoms took the already clean Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard and turned it into something completely new with some creative illustration work.

These Beavis and Butt-Head Jordan 1s keep the stock orange and black color scheme but use black and white paint to create an illustrated effect.

Eventually, people are going to run out of original custom AF1 ideas. Until then, though, sponsored artist @justwincustoms will continue making clean customs like these.

With orange, yellow, and a few other colors, these customs feature a burning effect on the upper with smoke stains on the sole. Just goes to show how versatile a pair of all-white AF1s can be.

Artist @ill__customz came through with a different take on AF1s. Jamil Austin used his incredible talents to take the iconic Nike Swoosh and break it open -- creating an illusion effect.

If you like these customs as much as we do, we have some good news. The artist stopped by the Angelus Lab to show everyone exactly how he made these AF1s. Check out the tutorial on our YouTube channel to see his process and what materials he used.

Blacked Out Don C 2s

You don't always have to get complicated with it to make a pair of clean customs. Sponsored artist @wallychamp15 made one of the cleanest pair of customs we've seen this week by using just one color.

These blacked out Don C 2s features an all-black body, red lining, and flat leather laces to complete the blacked out look.
