While the NIKEiD custom shoe service is extremely successful and popular, the one problem consumers find is the length of time it takes to receive the highly anticipated products. [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airimagination) has responded to that issue by creating a new 'Personalized Product' option that gives customers the ability to create, order and own a pair of custom shoes in just one day.

Instead of choosing the material and pattern, shoes are selected from existing models and colorways. However, they can have a custom "tag" added to the sole, be it a name, place, a team or even a hashtag that's close to the sneakerhead's heart. The only restrictions are that it can't include profanity or violent, discriminatory or trademarked content. Therefore, consumers who want a pair of NIKEiD custom shoes for an upcoming game or event can get them without having to wait the standard month.
