The premiere of the Death Seeker Air Force Ones from SBTG on March 30, 2008 has been billed as the next big thing in the custom sneaker world. This proclamation may come from SBTG via Nike Talk but the Death Seekers posted above and below look like they live up to the hype. SBTG has created eight pairs of the Death Seekers to be pitted against Phu! and their Phantom Mirage Air Max 90s (featured tomorrow).

SBTG used a World War II-era fighter as inspiration for its limited run of Death Seekers. You can see the fearsome shark’s teeth running the full width of each toe box in the picture below. The P77 logo shown on the heel is reminiscent of the call letters used on older fighters. The bullet silver paint used to bring these Air Force Ones back to the future is an awesome touch.

I love the camo print used on the Nike swoosh as well as the dog tags added to the shoe strings. SBTG is not giving away the Death Seekers at $500 USD but sneaker fans who have socked away some money should consider these shoes a worthwhile and once in a lifetime investment.
