  • White Men Can’t Jump Nike Dunk Lows

    The Nike Dunk Lows shown above are the second customs made by the brother of Sole Affection’s designer. The picture shows a pair of colorful Dunks obscured a bit by a multi-colored hat purchased by a New York street vendor. This hat acted as the inspiration for a great sophomore effort by a promising designer who felt that the purchase resembled Woody Harrelson’s hat in “White Men Can’t Jump.”

    It would be easy for a sneaker fan to say that the colors are a jumbled mess. I think that these custom Nike Dunks fit well with the original inspiration. The colors are separated well and the designer has a fine touch when placing two opposing colors next to each other. I am impressed by the daring aesthetic used by the designer in translating the hat to a respected shoe like the Nike Dunk.

    Sole Affection’s designer should be proud of his little brother for his exemplary work on the White Men Can’t Jump Nike Dunks posted here. Check out additional pictures after this post if you want to see the toe box and panels without the hat in the way. I have looked at these shoes several times and I have grown more comfortable with them with each viewing.

  • Nike Dunk Low SB – Lobster

    Nike Dunk Low SB - Lobster - #1

    From Boston, comes another Dunk SB this month. This shoe takes inspiration from one of the most popular foods in the area – the Lobster.

    The leather used on these shoes resembles the color of the lobster shell. Inside the shoe, you will find a colorful checkered inner lining that is like a table cloth. These sneakers were designed by Weekly Drops’ Rob Heppler in conjuction with Concepts.

    Japanese shop essense already has these sneakers in stock now for 15,800 yen (about $150 USD). Look for the Boston’s Concepts store to be the first place to sell these shoes in the States. Via High Snobiety

    Clae Summer 2008

    Clae has been near the top of the “athleisure” category since their company launched in 2001. Their fusion shoes combine the comfort of an athletic sneaker along with styling of a casual shoe. Clae has been slowly gaining popularity and is now getting some attention from sneakerheads.

    This summer, their collection features very simple designs and nice colorways that should appeal to a older, more sophisticated crowd. These shoes are expected to be available in July at oki-ni.
