A couple themes seemed to take hold when it came to custom sneakers this August. First and foremost customizers must have been hungry, because we saw a number of food themed Air Force 1s that paid homage to some of our favorite snacks. From breakfast to dinner, anyone hungry for delicious customs was well fed.
Once everyone had had something to eat, anime themed customs dominated too this month. Some of your favorite anime characters were immortalized in paint everywhere from sneakers to jackets. Check out some of the best customs from the past month below and head to Angelus Direct for all the paints and supplies you need to create your own.

@visionarykickz is starting off the day right with these custom Cinnamon Toast Crunch Air Force 1s. Get your cereal fix with a toasted orange palette that gives these sneakers that classic cereal box look. A splash of milk in white right above the midsole pairs nicely with the white sole and laces. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch logo is the perfect finishing touch.

Sponsored artist @sneakerqueenscustoms knows what's cooking this summer, Hamburger Air Force 1s. These delicious customs fill the toebox with a hamburger and all the toppings, complete with cheese, lettuce and tomato. The palette on the rest of the shoe takes inspiration from the seeded bun, in golden brown and beige. These Air Force 1s are ready for all the end of summer Labor Day barbecues coming up.

It was all about the details on these Howl's Moving Castle inspired customs by @enzohkim. Perfectly capturing every detail, from portraits of the characters to that anime color palette with vibrant grass greens and a bright blue sky background, these customs are sure to win over any anime fan. Even the detailing along the eyelets and swoosh in yellow and gold give it that playful, colorful anime feel.
Itachi x Sasuke Denim Jacket

Customs doesn't just mean sneakers, as @ravocustoms proves with this Itachi x Sasuke jacket. Crisp lines and a perfectly hand painted denim jacket in blue, black and red make this custom stand out. Keeping most of the design to the back panel of the jacket keeps this emotional scene contained, with just a few feathers floating off to the side adding some movement. The tight color palette also helps create maximum impact with this design.

Last but not least is another Howl's Moving Castle inspired custom by @chuchu.art. Here bright color dominates with a design that goes all the way down the midsoles with green grass and pink flower petals floating through the air. Sophie comes to life in this vibrant backdrop in brilliant blue. Carefully painted by hand, these anime customs bring your favorite characters to your favorite sneakers.
