In this part of the video, Brian Phillips from Swell Guy Customs starts creating custom Nike Blazers inspired by the video game Cyberpunk 2077. He removes the outer Nike swooshes from both shoes and cleans up the frayed threads using tweezers, nail clippers, and a lighter. Brian then uses Angelus Leather Preparer and Deglazer to prep the areas he plans to paint. He tapes the midsole and paints most of the shoe yellow, starting with a pale yellow base layer followed by a mix of thunder yellow and neon sunset yellow. For the upper heel area, Brian adds layers of pink, then a custom mix of chili red, raspberry, and Jamaican joy to achieve a neon brightness. He plans to create a futuristic glitch effect on the swoosh, making it stylistic and flashy.

In this segment of the video, the creator covers the shoe’s swish area with tape and uses a pencil to trace the swish along the threaded holes on the side. They start making glitch marks based on a Photoshop reference, ensuring some areas jut in and out for an effective glitch effect. They then use an X-acto knife to cut out the markings. Inspired by Cyberpunk 2077’s futuristic, techno-urban vibe, the creator aims to design a shoe that a character from the game might wear. An airbrush with a custom mix of pale blue and neon Bahama blue is used to paint the stencil, followed by red and pink neon colors to enhance the effect with a drop shadow. A custom typeface based on the Cyberpunk logo is stenciled onto the heel tab and painted with custom yellow; the Nike logo is outlined in blue. Finally, the suede patches on the toe and side are dyed yellow with careful application to avoid bleeding or leaking.

In this part of the video, the creator applies denatured alcohol to remove any excess suede dye to prevent it from transferring onto clothes. They then spray the entire shoe with Angelus Matte Finisher and use a heat gun to achieve a sleek, flat look. The shoes are finished by lacing them up with black flat laces from Lace Lamp, completing the custom Cyberpunk 2077 Nike Blazers.
