Customizer: Leyp by Josh Rubin

The white Dunk may have been the original customizer canvas, but it's starting to seem like any white Nike will do. These two creations are just a hint of the range of work coming from Leyp-- there's lots more on their site. Can someone please tell me why almost all the great customizers are working on Nikes? Is it cost, quality or a straight up brand thing?
