An America-based artist has transformed numerous pairs of Nike Air Force 1s to become a thriving online business.

@donnythedybbuk, as he is known on Instagram, takes inspiration from ice cream to customise the sneakers.

One particularly eye-catching pair is the Sorbet Af1, which comes in pastel pink, blue, and yellow:

The shades can be presented in any order:

Each pair costs a cool $350, though. If we take prices to be USD, that's S$481.34.

In The Know reports that Donny uses a "special rubber paint" to achieve the effect.

Here's a peek at the creation process:

Other designs come in brighter, more striking shades:

Prices range from $200 - S$350 (S$275 - (S$481) for Donny's designs.

At time of writing, everything was sold out on the site, although In The Know notes that the shoes are often in limited stock.

You can still have fun browsing, however.
