The time from 2010 to 2015 was a golden era for video games, as fans enjoyed some of the best games of all time. Gaming franchises were at their peak as they dropped titles like GTA V, The Witcher, Farcry 3, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy 15, Metal Gear Solid 5, Counter Strike Global Offensive, and many more. All these titles had massive hype as players spent countless hours mastering them.
However, as time passed, some titles lost their popularity as users called quits and moved to other games. But there was one title that stood strong throughout time: Counter Strike Global Offensive.

CS: GO barely lost its hype as users from different parts of the world enjoyed the grounds of battle. But that was just one part of its popularity, as the title formed a community of artists that created iconic things in its honor.
This had been the case for a Ukrainian shoe artist who made custom CS: GO-inspired shoes for fans. Recently, he got his recognition from popular video game informant Jake Lucky, who dedicated a Twitter post to feature his art.

MrFockS explains his shoe designs!
Before landing on Jake Lucky’s page, the creator himself showed off his best creations in his latest Twitter post. He uploaded a bunch of photos showing the entire process, proving how epic a simple white AirForce 1s can look.
I went with the scope pattern for the front. Taped everything up and sprayed the mixture of green, brown and white with the airbrush. Went with olive green laces which complete the overall look 😀 pic.twitter.com/hUmMO8Qen1
