A young designer named Alejandro Giraldo created these Air Force Ones for a Nike design project in his home country of Colombia. These custom sneakers were designed for a fashion fair in Colombia called Colombiamoda that showcased the best and brightest designers in the country. A peak at Alejandro’s work should convince most readers that he is a rising star in the customizing world.

The red/black colorway used by Alejandro plays well with the theme of life after death. There are skulls and bones painted all over the shoes including a happy skull on the left outer heel that looks like its ready to party. Alejandro used the inside of the left shoe to write out the words “Viva la Nike” in big white letters to celebrate his favorite shoe company.

You can contact Alejandro to inquire about his designs and compliment his work at [email protected]. I will feature another pair of Alejandro’s great work in tomorrow’s post to show another element of the designer’s creativity.

If you like simple, this Nike SB Zoom Classic is definitely that. This black sneaker features a white midsole, lining, Swoosh and tongue accents.

If you are looking for something wild, these definitely aren’t for you. But if you are an SB fan, who wants something a little more subtle than the norm, this a nice colorway. You can get these right now at Fight Club Japan for just 10,800 yen (about $100 USD). No word on whether you will be able to get them in the States. Via High Snobiety.

The Nike Tanabata Pack is another pack made to celebrate a Chinese festival. Tanabata, which is also known as the Star festival, takes places on the 7th day of the 7th month when the two stars Altair and Vega meet. These stars are normally separated by the Milkyway.

The Tanabata Pack features three models – the Air Max 1, Court Force Low and Court Force High. All three shoes use a white base accented with blues, yellow and red. Patent leather is used in these shoes, as well as a star pattern. Size? has the pack in stock right now, ranging in price from £59.99 to £79.99 pounds. Expect to see the Tanabata Pack at other select Nike retailers soon as well. Via High Snobiety.

This Nike Court Force Low Pack will be released this autumn. There are 2 sneakers in this pack and they are red and navy blue in color. Both are almost identical, with aged leather and suede on the shoe upper.

Let’s look at the red sneaker. The toe box is in aged leather, with a peripheral line of perforations. The mudguard that surrounds it is in smooth, red leather. There are panels of red suede. These add red accents to the shoe.One panel at the toe box has holes for the shoe lace to pass through.

The midsection and main body is in aged leather. The red shoe lace against the background of the red tongue looks coordinated and good. At the tip of the tongue, there is a white tag with printed blue words that contain the Nike label. The tongue is in fabric material. The shoe’s inner lining is white. The midsole has two colors in red and white.

When we look at the blue colorway, we can see that it is very similar to its red counterpart. I prefer the blue colorway as it is a more congenial color that can be used to match many other colors in my clothing.
