The Nike Dunk Highs pictured in this post were created by Dezism to honor one of rock’s greatest guitarists. Dezism’s love of Jimi Hendrix is shown in the great detail and care given to these inspired custom sneakers. I am a big fan of the arrangement of colors and words on the Hendrix Dunk Highs.

The use of yellow and burgundy is perfect for depicting the bursts of excitement and chilled energy used by Jimi Hendrix. The guitarist’s name is written in large letters across the toe set against a burgundy backdrop. The remaining space is filled with names of Hendrix’s great songs including “Little Wing,” “Hey Joe” and the debut album title “Are You Experienced?”.

My favorite part of the Jimi Hendrix Dunks is the image of Jimi singing lyrics while the sun emerges behind his head. You can contact Dezism and look at his past projects at the MySpace page linked here.

Vans has stepped things up a notch with these Chukkas made with real ostrich skin. These shoes come in either black or army green.

Ostrich skin is a luxurious material that has a raised dotted pattern throughout. It is oftentimes used in high end handbags, belts and women’s shoes.

These Ostrich Chukkas are available right now from Classic Kicks, priced at $350. If you are looking for a luxury shoe that is definitely unique, this Chukka could be for you. Via Hypebeast.

If you want a limited edition collaboration to add to your collection, check out this sneaker created by Solebox and Lacoste. These kicks are scheduled to be released on August 22nd and will be extremely limited to thirty pairs.

The colorway for these Tennis 91s is black, grey and neon green. The neon green is really the color that stands out, especially when it is placed against a black background. The shoe has a few Lacoste logos, including on the tongue and on the side of the shoe. The Lacoste alligator is also easy to spot. They are made from the material of towels, so a Solebox towel will be included with the shoes. Via High Snobiety.

UBIQ Walnut St. and UBIQ Gallery stores are getting in the Air Jordan Collezione 4/19 AKA Air Jordan Countdown Pack tomorrow. Make sure to arrive early because it’s sure to be hectic. Peeps have been waiting a good 9 years for the re-release of the “BRED” Black/Red Air Jordan IV’s.

You can check a bunch of Nike releases for this month at UBIQ. They’ve got some fly dunk highs like the ones pictured, but also a lot more heat to accomodate your needs.

This shoe will be sold at Limited Editions in 2009.
The toe box is made of mesh material. The mudguard is red and forms a frame around the shoe. The midsection has a large black colored piece that is made of mesh material. The yellow Nike swoosh runs smoothly across it. The main body of the shoe has fair amounts of white, red, black and yellow.

The tongue is black and at the tip, there is a yellow label with black words saying, “Air Tail Wind.” The subtle use of the black color here and there is good as it becomes a highlight. The white shoe lace is well chosen to give a good neutral color.

The midsole is thick. It is white in color. The center of the midsole curved inwards and has a pattern of ridges on it. The heel of the midsole has a translucent window. The ankle has a collar of mesh material. I like the midsole at the heel. It has a high triangle design. The triangle coincides with the black colored center of the midsole. I can see the symmetry in having two shapes like triangles on the midsole.

The outsole of this shoe is special. At the center, Nike Air is proudly displayed and two red frames surround the brand name. I like the look ofthis sneaker.
