It was last summer when the Nike 112 pack was released. Consists of the classic Air Force 1, Air Max 1 and Air Trainer 1 all designed by no other than DJ Clark Kent. The name 112 was of course inspired by Brooklyn where this pack pays homage. Now 2 other classic sneaks will be joining the Nike 112 pack. The Air Force 25 and Nike Hyperdunk. The pack is popular for the Elephant print and 3M materials. Mostly in the shades of Grey, Black and Lime Green. Rumors say that the additional 2 will only be released in Asia. But who knows? Better watch out.

This is an example of how great love can make a man do extraordinary things for his wife. These custom made Gold sneakers from Sole Bro were given as a special gift of a husband to his loving wife. The shoes had the name & initials of his wife, with golden Swooshes and swirling flourishes. These were meticulously gilded in genuine 24 karat gold to produce the perfect gift for her birthday. A stylized emblem was created from her initials (R.R.) and gilded in place at the rear of the shoe; her first name was placed on the other side. Golden laces were used to accent the design. To the hopeless romantics out there, how far would you go to express your love to your special someone?

Diamonds are everywhere. There’s the diamond iPod, diamond bikini, diamond bag and now a pair of diamond studded sneakers. Presenting The Nike Air Force One “So Cals” made by Atlanta’s Laced Up boutique as part of a new service called Solitaire Kicks. The service is offered by Laced Up with the help of Prriya & Chintans Couture and Jewelry, who provide fashion consultation to customers when customizing their shoes with yellow, blue or white diamonds as well as silver and gold. The “So Cals” are adorned with 11 carat diamonds framing the Nike logo. No worries about the diamonds falling out when shooting some hoops for the gems are affixed to the shoes by fine gold stitching.
The first pair, worth an estimated $50,000 was given to rapper Big Boi at the launch party for Solitaire Kicks. Is this still the most expensive sneaker to date? I won’t be surprise if another sneaker will come out soon that will break this record.

I love the original black and white on kicks like the Nike Air Force 1. The Air Force 1 Low is always a popular model and when you add premium materials to the upper it just gets better. This AF1 Low Premium comes in Black, White, and Hot Red. The upper uses both leather and patent leather and is mostly Black while the midsole is White and the outsole Black. These will be available sometime in July 2009.

Damn these are so HOT! Just look at them them, its absolute perfection. For this AF1,Nike collaborated with Los Angeles artist Mr. Cartoon to create a black based sneaker accented by a gradient swoosh, yellow detailing, a white mid-sole, yellow out-sole, and white inner lining. Lasered graphics are applied throughout the upper, including skulls, wire wheels,unmistakeably from the legendary Mr. Cartoon. LA, Cartoon’s hometown is then stitched into the heel. The LIVESTRONG x Mr. Cartoon Nike Air Force 1 is scheduled to release on July 4, 2009, but you can pick up a pair on eBay now.

These are some nice Air Forces, i wouldn’t mind rockin these and i am pretty sure you guys wouldnt mind either. The shoe features an orange outsole, with orange and blue on the tongue and lava heel tab. Other than the heel and tongue label, the shoe sports a simple white on white color scheme on the rest of the upper with additional accents coming by way of a Team Orange outsole and a Black lining. As a result, these kicks flaunt a simple, classic look, with the subtle Lava touch on the heel providing a nice dose of retro flavor.

It started with a Sharpie marker and pair of sneakers inside a freshman dorm. After years of fanatical research and development, Tyler Way finally sold himself on his product. Tyler built a network with the most powerful names in sports. Artist Tyler Way now custom designs and freehand paints sneakers for clients including Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton, Worldwide Wes, and a MVP pair for LeBron James.
These are one of six pairs T.Way Customs has done for Rip, and out of all of them, the most special. After his normal process of stripping the coating, and layering thin layers of paint onto the leather, he freehanded all of the art work, sans stencils and tape, to create a true masterpiece.

Im really loving these kicks becuase they would go great with a white tee and some Khaki shorts. This pair is definitely a good look for the summer, and it hosts a white leather upper with khaki accents seen on the swoosh, laces, inner lining and tongue. Another key feature of this sneaker is the gum sole which gives this AF1 a classy, yet fresh appearance. These are available at your local Nike retailers.
