April was no fool in regards to how these customizers approached their work. More vibrant and festive colors donned an array of shoes while Travis Scott continued to rage and inspire and a franchise quarterback got his own custom shoe before even suiting up for his new team.

This and so much more captivated our attention this month as spring is in the air and even on the sneakers. Take a look at the 10 best custom shoes that made the cut this month. Be sure to tag us on your own custom creations with #NiceKicksCustoms for a chance to get featured in the future.
