Custom-Made Transparent Sneakers

Argo Concepts Recently Launched See-Through YEEZY BOOSTs

— July 4, 2017 — Fashion
Argo Concepts, a custom footwear manufacturer that often transforms popular sneaker models by infusing them with unconventional elements, recently adapted a pair of adidas and Kanye West's iconic YEEZY BOOST 350 V2s.

Instead of the flexible woven material that usually comprises the uppers of the sneakers, Argo Concepts' custom versions feature a transparent synthetic material that gives them an even more modern look.

In order to ensure that the original design of the sneakers is maintained, Argo Concepts paints parts of the uppers in gray and red, with the latter color used to mark the name of the model. Finishing off the sneakers are two-toned laces, as well as textured soles that are colored an off-white hue.
