    Cactus x Ubiq Ilis - #1

    While Cactus and Ubiq have teamed up together in the past, this collaboration is arguably their best work. The look comes together by mixing and matching different types of shoes. The result is a shoe that is laidback but slick enough to be rocked out on the town.

    The three different color schemes all look quite different. One version has a black, white and salmon color scheme, topped by neon green laces. Another version has white, red and brown with bright blue laces. The third color scheme features white, beige and dark green, with dark orange laces. The laces used on these shoes are laces you’d usually see on a boot instead of a sneaker. My favorite is the red edition, but all three colorways have their merits. Via Hypebeast

    Jordan Jeter Clutch - Black Silver

    Check Finishline to find these new Jeter Clutch kicks from Jordan. This black and silver version is extremely stylish and should sell out quickly.

    The Jeter Clutch sneakers are Derek Jeter’s signature shoe. Jeter, the shortstop for the New York Yankees, is having another great year at the plate. Jeter is hitting over .300 once again and has the Yankees within striking distance in the American League.

    While these shoes are mostly black, there are a lot of different shades and textures of black being utilized. The metallic silver is also used throughout the shoe, perhaps most prominently on the Jumpman logo on the side of the shoe. You can also find these at Nikestore. Via Sneaker News.

    This shoe is a fusion of the Air Jordan and Air Force 1. These two designs make an excellent combination. Nike has taken the two best shoe designs to collaborate and produce a version that has the best of the two models. The Air Jordan brand will celebrate its 23rd anniversary in 2008. The Air Force One would celebrate its 25th anniversary this year. These two franchises of Nike have joined together for this design for the first time. The result would be an example for the rest of the sneaker manufacturers to look up to.This shoe aims to combine the qualities of high performance and artistic expression together.

    The sneaker has a white colorway. The official description is that it is White/Orange Peel-Stealth-Maize.The midsole is grey with some orange highlights in the form of 4 jagged ridges. The midsection has an orange panel with an enclosure of a mesh in light grey. The result looks like the section has small orange dashes. It looks like orange rain drops.

    Fresh and Fly has released a pair of Nike P-Rods featuring new accents and a gator-skin effect. The designer painted the Nike swoosh red to match the inner lining. This step was likely the least difficult in transforming these hot sneakers into an example of custom design innovation.

    The imprints on the dark gray suede shown below are created through a wood burning process. The designer took a chance on ruining the P-Rods with this technique but he managed to pull it off. The gator-skin look on the dark gray plays off the smoothness of the light gray suede to give another layer of complexity to these shoes.
