Air Force Ones. Mobile Jam Fest runs contests for young fashion designers includingshoe design contests. The winner of the latestshoe design contest won this pair ofAir Force Ones courtesy of Revive Customs. I am sure the winner is thrilled to have such a great pair of custom sneakers from a renowned designer.The theme of these
shoes was “Paid in Full” and uses imagery reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto game series. The right side of theshoe features a bag of money with a dollar sign on the front that is typical in cartoon bank heists. Revive Customs put the grill of the getaway car on the other side of theshoe.I love the colors used by Revive to bring this interesting design to life.

here. Adrian Blanca x eS Fall 2008 FootwearBy SneakerFreak on July 26th, 2008 | No CommentsAs part of the
eS Fall collection, they collaborated with artist Adrian Blanca on these two models – the eS TT Deluxe and Accel TT L. Both shoes feature Blanca’s laser-etch artwork on the upper.The white TT Deluxe sneaker uses the etching sparingly, just on the strap and side panels with the rest of the
shoe remaining plain. The brown Accel TT L has an allover etching and a black gum sole. Theseshoes are built for comfort, flexibility and breathability with lightweight construction, a breathable tongue, foam footbed, gel insert and grippy flexible tread. I’m not sure if I like the look of the brownshoe – from a distance they might just look like yourshoes are muddy. Theseshoes are expected at retailers within the month. ViaHigh Snobiety.
