It all started with ?The Decision” and the “South Beach” LeBron 8 release, but the ending is obviously far from over. To coincide with today’s “South Beach” LeBron 9 release, we rank the best ?South Beach? Custom<\/strong> sneakers we?ve seen to date. You may be surprised by the shoe that tops our list.<\/p>\n

13. Nike LeBron 9 “South BeeGums” Custom<\/h3>\n

Using the Miami artist Freegums’ LeBron 9 as the base, Mache<\/a> fused two South Beach themes into one custom sneaker. The LeBron 9 ?South Beegums? Custom fuses the Miami Vice-esque green with pink laces and accents.
\n<\/p>\n

12. Air Jordan 3 “South Beach Flip” Custom<\/h3>\n

What would happen if you took Miami and flipped it? Well, the result probably wouldn?t be the next shoe on this list, the Air Jordan 3 “South Beach Flip” Custom. Using this past year?s Air Jordan 3 ?Black Flip? as the base, the shoe features the 80s tone green as the base for the elephant print. To complement the eye-popping iconic print are pink laces and panels.
\n<\/p>\n

11. Nike LeBron 8 V2 “South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

Looks familiar right? It’s very similar to the world-renowned ?South Beach? LeBron 8, but it’s actually a LeBron 8 V2. Even though it’s very close to the original, it doesn?t own the same vibrant essence.
\n<\/p>\n

10. Nike LeBron 9 “South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

When images first surfaced of the upcoming ?South Beach? LeBron 9, it was only a matter of time before an alternate custom was made. Using the teal-like green as the base with a black midsole and pink laces, this sneaker has a similar appeal as this weekend?s release.
\n<\/p>\n

9. Air Jordan 6 “South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

Even though the color blocking is superb, we?re pretty sure a lot are suffering from an Air Jordan 6 custom overload. If it weren?t for the overload, this pair would be higher on the list.
\n<\/p>\n

8. Air Jordan 7 “South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

The ?South Beach? custom look has reached to Jordan Brand models again in the form of this Air Jordan 7. The ?South Beach? essence expands beyond the base of the shoe to the branding on the tongue and the heel.
\n<\/p>\n

7. Nike LeBron 9 “Snakeskin South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

Slithering onto this list is a snakeskin custom of the Nike LeBron 9. It mixes the warm vibe of ?South Beach? with a predominant teal base and pink laces and branding.
\n<\/p>\n

6. Nike Zoom Kobe VI “South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

What if Kobe took his talents to South Beach? It probably wouldn?t have been a good thing for the NBA, but it still made a great concept for this custom. Sporting a weather-conscientious low-cut silhouette, these would go great with any 80s theme party.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Nike LeBron 9 Low “Miami Vice” Custom<\/h3>\n

Are you not a fan of wearing high-tops with shorts? These are the customs for you then. Sporting the low-cut version of LeBron James? signature, these share the same color blocking as today’s release. <\/p>\n

4. Air Jordan 3 “South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

Compared to the earlier Air Jordan 3 Custom, this one is superior because it goes into more detail with the vibrant pink branding that sets off the ?South Beach? theme. Plus, the teal cement print set this apart from the rest.
\n<\/p>\n

3. Air Jordan 5 “South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

The Air Jordan 5 has always been a fan favorite with its fighter jet essence. So, it is no surprise that this custom garnered much praise when it surfaced on the web.
\n<\/p>\n

2. Nike LeBron 9 Low “Bringing Sand to the Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

Even though Mache brought ?Sand to the Beach? in this custom, it drew inspiration from the??Miami Nights? LeBron 8 Low . Sporting the same speckled Miami Night theme on the heel of the sneaker, this shoe garners praise for its massive amount of detail.
\n<\/p>\n

1. New Balance 999 “South Beach” Custom<\/h3>\n

As the only pair without a Swoosh or Jumpman, these New Balance Customs ran their way to the top of this list. The summer-friendly, light grey base with fat pink laces and branding makes this sneaker one of the most desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
