There's a lot of people out there that don't care so much for winter, so these are here to remind you that summer exists and it will be coming back again soon. These customs by @pyi2369 take a fairly simple idea and turn it into a pair of incredibly unique customs. If you want to make a similar pair of customs, all you need to get started is some yellow and black paint.

In honor of the Astroworld Festival, our sponsored artist @bbizon brings us these incredible hand-painted Air Force 1s. These super detailed customs were made for Travis Scott himself. They might not fit the whole winter theme, but they are way too clean to leave them off of this list. If you want to recreate a similar design, you're probably going to need a 12 Color Assortment Kit.

Next, sponsored artist @astrotorfcustoms brings us these insane custom UNC Sketch 4s. The classic Carolina blue and white is one of the cleanest and most recognizable colorways in existence, and these customs take it a step further with the sketch effect.

Just wanted to include one more fall-inspired design before it's officially winter. These custom Vans by sponsored artist @chadcantcolor are a perfect way to close out the season. You can grab some orange paint, white paint, and brick paint to get started on a similar colorway.

We see an incredible amount of insane customs from artists combining several of our signature colors to create intricate designs and colorways. Sometimes, though, you can accomplish a lot with only a little. Check out these customs to see how much you can accomplish with only a few colors.

First up is sponsored artist @Justwincustoms with his custom Nike Glitch 3.0s. By just using our hot pink paint, you can transform a standard pair of white Air Forces into one of the cleanest customs we've ever seen.

If you don't like these, you're wrong.

If you live around Miami, you need to wear these to your next Heat game. You can pick up some hot pink and South Beach paint to get started on a similar colorway.

You don't need to add color to make your customs stand out. Custom artist @bluethegreat uses only black paint here to recreate the classic Nike swoosh. If you don't want to take away from the clean all-white color scheme on you Air Forces, just grab some black paint and get creative with your illustrations.

Sponsored artist @Justwincustoms takes the idea of altering the classic Nike swoosh in a different direction by adding some color to the logo and leaving the rest of these AF1s untouched.  Recreating this effect might be tough, but you can get started with some black, orange, and yellow paint.

We have @alexanderjohnsondesign topping off this list with this clean pair of camo NMDs. NMDs started off with limited releases, but almost everyone has a pair by now. By making small changes like this, you can make your customs stand out. You can pick up some olive paint, brown paint, and vachetta paint to get started on something similar.

Remember to follow our Instagram for more inspiration. We post several customs like these from great artists every week.

It can get tiring seeing the same combinations of red, white, black, and blue being used in every custom colorway. Not that these colorways aren't great, they're popular for a reason. But, it's nice to see something fresh every once in a while. So, here are some of the most creative custom colorways we've seen recently.

First up is sponsored artist @ianjpaintedit with these custom Air Force 1s inspired by some of the most popular Cartoon Network shows from the 90s.

Pick up a 12 Color Assortment Kit to get started on your own.

While Vans offers a wide variety of different colorways and customization options, you won't be able to find these anywhere. @bgamecustoms uses our paints here to create a custom gradient cheetah print colorway on these Sk8-his. Angelus violet, yellow, orange, and black paints can help you get going on a similar colorway.

These color block Dr. Seuss customs Vans by @visionarykickz are a great representation of what you can do with a pair of all-white Old Skools. Pick up some green, orange, and light blue paint for a similar colorway.
