If you haven’t heard about the Air Jordan Silver Anniversary models yet, wake up and smell the coffee. Three Silver Anniversary are set to release Saturday, March 27th. Those three models are the Air Jordan III, IV and IX. All three models have gotten much hype, they should because they are new colorways, well kinda. I have always expressed my opinion in my writing, so i have no problem saying that the IXs aren’t as flashy as the other two models. The IIIs are alright, but the IVs have to be the best looking of the three. If you wear kids sizes, you get many benefits over the men. The big one has to be the huge price cuts that the kids get. Well you get yet another benefit over the men. All three of these all-white Air Jordans are available now at the NikeStore in kids sizes only. So you can cop these exactly 8 days before these hit retailers. Via Sneakernews

The third pair is a SB Dunk low, while the last pair is a SB classic. Im not really feeling the two Dunk and classic, but the two Blazers are so fresh! These are set to hit select Nike SB retailers in April, but Flatspot has them available early, so dont sleep.

Custom sneakers usually come from Nike. Such as Dunks or Air Force 1s. But here we see a custom that is something out of the ordinary. Custom Air Jordans are hardly seen, i have maybe seen a couple since paying attention to sneakers. The only way a designer would customize a pair of Jordans is if it was inspired after a global icon that is known by millions. Well this Custom Air Jordan XII is certainly honoring a icon, and is know by millions beyond any doubt. These weren’t made for Jay-z, but were inspired after him. Sneaker customizer Intrxn is the mind behind this monument. This design was to be kept a secret, but thanks to Sneakerobsession.com, we have a look at this beauty. Check out what the designer, Intrxn, had to say about his masterpiece. Major props to Intrxn.
In the words of Intrxn:
Elvis “You Get Out of Life What You Put In
Elvis T. from Chicago contracted me to work on a very special Jordan. The rule was that I was to do something I have never done before. The Jordan 12 release date correlates to Jay-Z’s 1997 distribution deal with Def Jam Records. Following the death of Notorious B.I.G. he worked with P. Diddy to produce “In My Lifetime” and the record “Reasonable Doubt.” If you get a chance to catch these shoes in person you can notice the detail that acknowledges inspiration from Elvis himself, Jay-Z, Biggie, and Alexander McQueen. The conceptual approach includes undertones regarding these men’s work ethic and the theme, “Man or Machine.” As far as colorway, the shoe was created to match Elvis’ shirt and vest. He divulged that his fashion sense is all about making statements in a clean and classy manner. If I had one word to describe the work I did for him it would be “sculpture.” Everyone who is attending the Jay-Z concert on Thursday March 18th keep an eye out for Elvis in the double stretch black Hummer!
Laser etched quotes are:
Jay-Z “In My Lifetime”
Biggie “It Was All a Dream”
AMQ “We are the Fashion World’s Incubator”

DJ Clark Kent is no stranger to Nike Air Force 1s. He has had his share of some of the best Air Force 1s we have seen. However, here we have a Air Force 1s that could be one of the finest Air Force 1s that is dubbed for DJ Clark Kent. This Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 was designed by Kevin Hunter aka “PPG” and was given to DJ Clark Kent as a gift. I wish i got gifts like this.
At the first look, you can spot some sick colors and even better materials that were used for this design. Aqua suede is seen on toe box, side panels and on the tongue tag. Blue suede is also placed on the inner lining. When’s the last time you saw a sneaker with suede placed on the inner liner? PPG decided to use black snakeskin on the Nike Swoosh, toe and areas of the midfoot. Red leather jumps right onto the tongue and heel panel, while the midsole comes in clean white. This absolute beauty is finished off with a bright aqua outsole. There is truly one of the best looking Air Force 1s i have even see. Just a true masterpiece. Check out many more images after the jump.
