One of the main things that goes along with the summertime is lifeguards. Many of these people wait half the year (depending on where you live) to snatch up that cream job sitting out by the pool or beach for majority of the day scooping out the girls or guys. A lifeguard reached out to Atex from Austin, Texas to get their own pair of these custom air force ones designed with a lifeguard theme. Atex covered the toe box on both sneakers in a very cool light blue and aqua design to represent water. The side panel has abunch of little red crosses hand painted on it to resemble the logo which is worn by lifeguards on their uniforms all over the country. On the heel panel of the right sneaker Atex added a larger solo red cross with ‘Lifeguard’ written across the center. On the heel of the left one theres a tube/life saving device. To finish it all up Atex covered the Nike Swoosh and the top half of the heal panel in light blue and slapped in a pair of red laces. The edges on a few things could be cleaned up a little bit, such as the red crosses themselves, but overall the concept behind these is really cool and im sure any lifeguard could respect them. A lot more detailed pics follow after the jump so check em out.
