Evolved Footwear published photos of a new pair of custom Nike high tops that were designed specifically for spring break. The designer spent a day-long car trip putting the finishing touches on these shoes so he could hit the first party with stylish sneakers. The pictures were taken following a full week of vacation with a surprisingly limited amount of fading from sun, sand and partying.

The design motif of these customs seems to be the background from the intro to “Saved by the Bell.” This comment would be an insult on must occasions but Evolved Footwear captured the atmosphere of places like Fort Lauderdale, Cozumel and Cancun. The bright green laces, crazy swoosh pattern and bright outsole make for a good starting point to any conversation. Check out the photo below to see these custom high-tops in night mode.

Lacoste was founded in 1933, which means that 2008 is their 75th anniversary. To celebrate the anniversary, Lacoste has released these sneakers. With two different versions, these simple yet classy kicks would be a nice addition to your collection.

The first version is more white than black and uses a number of different textures. The Lacoste crocodile is located on the side of the shoe and really stands out.

The other shoe is more black than white and is more of a skater shoe. The crocodile on this version is located on the tongue.

These Nike Dunk Premium Hi & Court Force Hi Euro Pack were released by Atmos. The Dunk Premium Hi costs 15,750 Yen, or USD 154.

The Dunk Premium Hi starts off with a toe box and shoe upper that are made of orange colored leather. The white Nike swoosh and tongue are good areas to contrast against the orange colored leather. At the heel, there is a panel of leather that has a covering of orange colored horse hair. This is interesting. I like the idea of having orange shoe laces. It works well against the white colored tongue. The midsole and outsole are beige/brown and that is a good color that complements orange.

The Nike Court Force Hi commemorates the UEFO Euro 2008 soccer championships. It has a white toe box and an orange colored border. The start of the shoe lace hole has a panel of black colored leather. The holes are on a narrow strip of orange colored leather. I like the Nike swoosh. The black swoosh is accentuated by the border of orange. The outsoles look bright in orange. The tongue is white but ends in an orange colored tab with black lettering for Nike.
