Evolved Footwear is showing off its custom design skills with a pair of Nike Dunks called Illuminated Confusion. The picture above shows the Illuminated Confusion in daylight in all of its colorful glory. The yellow/green colorway would be overpowering if not for the white cells broken up by black lines throughout the shoe.

A flick of the light switch exposes the hard work and ingenuity of Evolved Footwear. The picture below shows Illuminated Confusion glowing in the dark with neon green tubing surrounding the Nike swoosh. It shouldn’t be surprising that the price for these shoes is $400 with the high price of Dunks, glow-in-the-dark tubing and other custom features. The Evolved Footwear website offers these shoes in sizes 8-13 for anyone who wants to be seen in light and dark.

The Nike Jordan PHLY has 2 new colorways. They are available at Hangtime store.

This collection is the Jordan brand’s official venture into the lifestyle shoes. One model has the original Jordan retro colors in black, varsity red and white. Another model has the “Pop Herring” logo on the heel. This logo belongs to Michael Jordan’s coach at Laney High School.

The black and varsity red shoe is very attractive. The stitching is done in white and forms an interesting pattern. The tongue has a red accent that is the logo of a man reaching out for the ball. The red colored Air Jordan logo is at the heel. The midsole has a grey colored line around its circumference. Then the midsole becomes white in color. The outsole has a white portion and a red colored line around the heel of the white portion. The inner lining is black. The back stab at the ankle is a special panel of white with horizontally divided, lined sections. Right below this, at the heel, the Jordan figure with a basket ball is printed in red color.

The Nike Jordan PHLY “Pop Herring” has a white colorway. Its accents are in blue and red. It looks identical to the black colorway edition. It has the same features. I prefer the black colorway.

I highlighted Hypethetic’s RIZRBack customs on Tuesday to showcase the design studio’s first salvo for Summer 2008. The next custom product from Hypethetic is a special Nike Dunk with a mixture of sleek touches and flowery patterns. Hypethetic says that these are the first Dunks to emerge from their studio and they hit their marks with the Flowpods.

The Flowpods share a raised heel with the RIZRBack but the rest of the shoe rests on the other end of the design spectrum. The stark colors and patterns on the RIZRBack are retired on the Flowpod in favor of a softer color mixture. The pastels and flowers running from toebox to heel bring to mind the sweet smell of flowers during the summer season.

I don’t want to wax poetic in describing the effectiveness of Hypethetic’s design on the Flowpod. The Dunk is a fantastic shoe and the designer makes these sneakers accessible to women of all ages. The Flowpod and RIZRBack may rest at separate ends of the custom sneaker universe but they share the common thread of quality craftsmanship by their creator.

You can pre-order these fantastic shoes from CCS store. Each pair costs about $65.

The Nike SB Classic is in a blue colorway with white and red accents. The midsection of the shoe has a few panels that are joined together. It provides a few interesting details. The white Nike swoosh complements the white shoe lace and back stab at the heel. The midsole is red. A line of white stitches in machined thread run along the lower half of the circumference of the shoe. The upper half of the circumference is actually around the toe box and the joint is in red color. The red inner lining of the shoe complements the red midsole. The outsole is white.

The “New Castle” Dunk Low SB is in a gold colorway. The shoe upper is made from suede. The tongue is made from brown colored mesh. The white tag has the Nike brand name. The toe box has perforations. The white shoe lace is a bright contrast against the colored shoe upper. The brown accents are nice against the gold colored panels. The gold is too precious to be the outsole so brown is used for the outsole. The shoe’s inner lining is in a new color of cream or light beige.

Mr. Mouf has debuted his first custom sneakers on Nike Talk with significant acclaim from sneaker fans. The young designer breathed new life into an older pair of Nike Air Max 90s by bringing together disparate artistic influences. The end result is an outstanding premiere that shows Mr. Mouf’s promise in future endeavors.

The basic white leather of the Air Max 90s is covered in black cracks that give the appearance of parched desert sand. The toe boxes are left untouched except for a few glancing cracks that act as bold accents. Mr. Mouf added black laces to complete the transformation from old shoes to reinvigorated customs. Check out an overhead shot of these Nike Air Max 90s after the post and keep your eyes out for more work from Mr. Mouf.

This sneaker is from Nike’s Considered line of shoes. This Considered Terra is now available at the store called size?

The shoe has a black toe box that is made out of mesh. The toe box and outline of the shoe is framed in purple leather. This black mesh is also found in the midsection of the shoe. The yellow shoe lace is a nice contrasting color against the panel of purple shoe lace holes. The tongue is black and has a large, long flap that doubles over the shoe laces to cover them. The red colored Nike brand name is sewn at the top end of the tongue. It is a nice decoration to break the monotony of the black colored tongue.

The red color is used in the accents in the Nike Swoosh and a little tab at the heel. The shoe upper and the sole are held together by a method of roping that is threaded through the the holes. The roping is unique and presents a rugged look to the shoe. The rope is grey colored with black specks.

This shoe is very colourful. I think it is best used for informal functions.

Hypethetic has released several custom Nikes based on the shoe company’s “Be True” online series. The RIZRBacks shown in this post are a take on the future of custom sneakers with metallic colors and small touches appropriate for a time traveler.

The designer covered these sneakers with light gray and silver paint to play on the stereotypical image of a cold, metallic future. The extended heel is designed to protect the wearer’s ankles and add an interesting touch to the RIZRBack. I love the small bit of gold with the Hypethetic symbol attached to the shoe laces because it breaks up the uniform colors of these customs.

I enjoy these shoes because they feature different textures and small color variations. Hypethetic is releasing additional custom sneakers based on the “Be True” series during summer 2008 that I will highlight prior to release.

These new Nike Air Bound 2 shoes just dropped into rakuten store.

The first pair has a white colorway. Its accents are red and black. The tongue is red but ends with a large tab in white and a signature “Flight” on the tag. The panel around the ankle is red while the inner lining is black. The black accents on the sneaker are in its Nike swoosh, and two pairs of shoe lace braces. I like the interplay of the black and red accents. It makes the shoe look attractive but it retains its formal look. The toe box has a white and black midsole while the main body of the shoe has a red midsole.

The second shoe has a grey colorway. Its accents are white, dark grey and black. It looks serious as its colors are dull and somber. The toe box is grey. The tongue is black so the shoe lace is also black to complement the look. The white sections are the Nike swoosh, accents on the shoe lace braces and the inner lining of the shoe. There is a black panel around the ankle.The outsole looks good with black, white and grey colors. On the overall, the shoe is good for use at formal events or at work.

Check out these Nike Dunks. One quick glance and it’s no mystery when the shoe goes by the name “Spider”. With not only a big spider featured but other spider touches throughout, these kicks are definitely not your standard pair of shoes.

The color scheme of these shoes is white, iron gray and dark red. The white and iron gray are the two most prevalent colors, with the red showing up on the shoelaces and around the ankles. The spider is designed with yellows and oranges and is placed on the front of the shoes. The spider has the number 33 on it. A web pattern embroidery is seen over portions of the shoe. Near the heel a fly is seen caught in the web.

You can get these now at LandOKicks. Via High Snobiety
