Lupe Fiasco x Converse PRODUCT (RED) Chuck Taylor

April 19th, 2009 by Omer Stored in: Converse

lupe-fiasco-x-converse-red-chuck-02

If you were to take this pair, plunge it into a pot of liquid clay, the resulting pattern would be indistinguishable from the feet of a giant. If you were take these, and hang them from flagpoles, eagles would salute them as the king of air. And if you take one of these, and throw them among a pack of sneakerheads, beware of cannibalism after the battle.

This is just hot. Serious, stern, and spartan, it looks like the foundation of a castle on the clouds rather than the footwear of a human being. But Converse loves to convert us to fanatics of the brand, and what else can we be when facing such a marvel?

Seek these at davidz, but catch them in your dreams. Unless you take a plane, or steal the wings of an eagle, they’ll be gone before you make the move. Via. Nicekicks.

Lupe Fiasco “Superstar” Dunk High

October 10th, 2008 by nkats Stored in: Custom Sneakers, Dunks, Nike

Evolved Footwear’s love for light-up designs and hip hop have led to some great customs in the past. His latest work is a pair of custom Nike Dunk Highs using Lupe Fiasco’s “Superstar” video as the theme. These custom Dunks were found on Evolved’s latest Nike Talk post linked here.

Lupe Fiasco’s “Superstar” video features a red carpet, stars and the night sky while the rapper’s song runs. Evolved juggled all of these elements when creating the “Superstar” Dunks. He created a rich red tongue that simulated the type of carpet walked upon by rappers and movie stars. His blue and white stars glow brilliantly against the black backdrop. He added some white stars in the distance along with gray clouds swirling around the toe box.

The “Superstar” Dunk Highs come to life once the designer flicks the light switch. The colorful, well-designed stars burst forth with brilliant light in a dark room. Evolved Footwear did a great job of making these Dunks an homage to Lupe Fiasco’s hit song while using his signature light-up features in a creative way.

Nike Air Force 1 iD – Fall of Rome (Lupe Fiasco)

September 11th, 2008 by Sneak3rAddict Stored in: Air Force Ones, Nike

Lupe Fiasco recently was fortunate enough to design a pair of Nike Air Force 1 iD’s and his point of inspiration was his label, Fall of Rome. The Air Force 1’s he used for his iD’s were a pair of AF1 Low’s, mixed with some premium leather, patent leather, and mixture of Black and Gold. The custom AF1 shoetag reads “IV” which also symbolizes his F.O.R. label and his name for this shoe, AFIV. No information on whether or not these will be released but as of right now they are limited to four pairs worldwide.
