April 30th, 2009 by Omer Stored in: Nike

nike-zoom-fp-fun-police-white-varsity-red-black

This model of the Fun Police is not just fun. It’s electrifying and exhilarating. Look at the lines that flow like gamma rays. Look at the colors that create more powerful harmonies than that seen in a rainbow. Look at the beauty of the creation which competes with the works of Da Vinci in style and excellence. What can words add to such magnificent beauty?

Nike is not just a footwear brand. It is the most powerful brand of creativity in the universe. It is like an art school, or a hundreds of years old university. This is where style is created, knowledge perfected, and excellence realized.

Catch these at Vault. If you can.

This structure is like the Parthenon of Athens. It is solid, beautiful, elegant, as if the culmination of a centuries-long design process which only finds its perfection in the final incarnation of victory. Nike, the supreme, Nike, the invincible, Nike, the mighty.

And indeed, what can be said about this beauty without invalidating the meaning of words, and the power of dreams? Silence, and respect, as if in a building devoted to high learning, are the necessities of contemplating this design. Without those, there will never be any hope of understanding the massive power that is manifest in this pair.

Sawtooth Poison Ivy Nike Dunk Low

April 30th, 2009 by nkats Stored in: Custom Sneakers, Dunks, Nike

Shoe artist Mark Ong (aka SBTG) created the Sawtooth Poison Ivy Nike Dunk Lows for fashion blogger Nitrolicious recently. SBTG will be releasing a limited run of 18 units starting on May 3rd at 10:00pm EST. I found these photos at the Facebook page linked here but you can check out the SBTG Sawtooth Poison Ivy Dunk Low at the Royalefam website here.

SBTG started with a set of razor-sharp teeth and a blue tongue on the toe to make these Dunks fearsome. The middle panel and heel wrap is a pink/black/silver leopard print that makes these shoes leap from the screen. The designer painted a white cross bones pattern on the heel and added a metallic cross bones piece to the shoe laces to give fair warning to approaching viewers.

The Sawtooth Poison Ivy Nike Dunk Low will be available for $400 USD after its May 3rd release. SBTG says that each unit is made to order with a mere two weeks between ordering and delivery. If you are in the market for these custom Dunks in a woman’s size 6-9, check out the Royalefam website linked above to get more information.

Cleveland Air Force Ones

April 29th, 2009 by nkats Stored in: Air Force Ones, Custom Sneakers, Nike

kimbokicks

Kim Mesches is the designer behind Kimbo Kicks and a hot pair of customs I call the Cleveland Air Force Ones. The prevailing theme of these custom AF1s is the gritty sights of the city including graffiti, urban skylines and the logos familiar to the people of Cleveland. You can check out the Kimbo Kicks website here to find out about the customization process.

The designer did a great job maintaining control over chaotic images on the Cleveland Air Force Ones. On the exterior of the right shoe, the series of numbers in red, blue and other colors work well together to create an urban mosaic. The interior side of the right shoe is a heel-to-toe image of the Cleveland skyline punctuated by a basketball close to the toe box.

I love the old-school Cleveland Cavaliers logo and the guitar on the left shoe’s interior, which represent the big attractions for visitors to Cleveland. While the Cleveland Air Force Ones have come and gone, Kim Mesches showcased the design skills and creativity needed to be successful in the sneaker art community. You can hit up Kimbo Kicks at kmesches@gmail.com to bounce your custom ideas off this great designer.
