Michael Jackson, Gorillaz Transformed Into Custom Trainers

Images of Michael Jackson and Gorillaz have been used on a special collection of customised trainers.

The range, which also includes shoes with the face of Barack Obama and the Twitter logo, is the creation of 21-year-old Daniel Reese.

Reese, a self-confessed “sneaker-freaker”, hand paints the designs on a pair of Nike Dunk Highs.

He told Gigwise that he began creating the designs three years ago after he customised a pair of his own Converse.

“I began to post my concepts on my blog in the hope that someone would trust me to actually make a pair, and one day, someone did,” he said.

“I made my first pair and from that day I have not stopped.”

Other trainers include rapper Lupe Fiasco, Run-DMC and the superhero Kick-Ass.
