  • Nike Running Man Series – AM90 By Misha

    Nike Running Man Series - AM90 By Misha 1

    This is the Running Man Pack. It has 3 sneakers that are designed by Pam, Parra and Todd James. The store called Nort Berlin will release on Friday, Feb. 15, the yellow colored Air Max 90. This is designed by Misha from the same company.

    This Air Max has been called the yellow one but to me, it looks like it has a green colorway. This is because a major portion of the shoe is green. The toe box is made from a canvas material. This green color extends throughout the shoe.The shoe is famed by a border of sunny yellow leather. The back tab is a large yellow piece that covers the entire heel.I like the cartoon drawing on it. It looks like a pair of eye balls in a tornado. The message is like, “I’m watching your back for you” and I like this.

    The sole is nice with the green potion encasing the window to peek inside the sole. It is an interesting idea to have this green “leaf-like” piece sandwiched in between the yellow, like the lettuce in between two slices of bread. The yellow segments are speckled with white and black.

    The blue shoe laces and the blue inner soles match perfectly. This shoe can be worn almost anywhere. The cartoon at the heel is a bit of an insider’s joke to cheer up the day.

  • Haruhi Dunk Hi

    Stizo Custom Kicks is known for meeting the unique and far-fetched needs of custom sneaker fans. A fan of popular anime serial “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” was able to get custom Nike Dunks based on the main character. I am not familiar with this particular anime but it looks like Stizo captured the spirit of Japanese animation with these customs.

    Both shoes feature an action pose on the heel that looks like it jumped off the storyboard. The fade from sky blue to white as your eye moves from collar to outsole shows the impressive control over design elements by Stizo. The toe box features colorful circles that play well on the Haruhi theme. I may not be a fan of this anime but I do like the craftsmanship used to bring Haruhi to life. It can be difficult to use intricate cartoons and animes as inspiration but the transition from screen to shoe is almost seamless.

  • Nike SB March ‘08 – Dunk Hi Pro SB Forest/Varsity Red
    By on February 17th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Nike SB March '08 - Dunk Hi Pro SB Forest/Varsity Red 1

    This Nike Dunk Hi Premium is a great looking shoe. It will be available at Nike SB soon. It has a forest green colorway but that is a very small portion since there are light green leather accents that envelope almost the entire shoe.

    The toe box and heel have the same green camouflage spots on green background. I like this pattern; it resembles the skin of the green speckled frog. The tongue is dark forest green that matches the colorway portion of the shoe.

    The mid-portion of forest green leather has texture included. The small granular pattern makes it look rough, just like the skin of an amphibian. When you examine this, it bears some relation to the tongue, which is mesh with a rough texture.

    The Nike swoosh, inner lining and outsole belong to the same matching red color. Red and green are a good pair for the color combo. The white shoe laces complement the white mid-sole of the shoe.

    When you look at the outsole, it has some nice patterns on it. The concentric circles help to provide gripe and harmony. The square treads help the heel to dig in and provide good ground supporting balance.
