    The Nike Air Revaderchi Fall 2008 has two colorways. These shoes will be released in the Fall.

    The grey colorway has purple accents. The main body is made of fabric while the panels are from leather. The toe box is small as it is hemmed in by a toe cap and a mudguard. This guard extends right back to the base of the heel. It is then overlapped by a panel that forms a cap over the base of the heel. This panel has some fancy design details like a hole where a purple strap can be threaded through and pulled to the other side of the shoe. This purple strap looks good against the grey background of the shoe. There is a black collar around the ankle. This collar is in turn trimmed by a lining of purple colored border. The midsole has thick, dense black and grey colored dots. The outsole is black, with rough, gripping treads.

    The white colorway of the Nike Revaderchi Fall 2008 is similar in design to its counterpart. The accents are different. The tongue is distinctive in purple. It extends to become the collar around the ankle. This collar has an attractive trimming in yellow border. The panel at the heel is black colored. The outsole is black. The white color is more distinctive than the grey one.

  • KJax Nike Dunks

    KJax’s sophomore effort at custom sneaker designing was posted recently on the Nike Talk thread linked here. These custom Nike Dunks received a good reception from the sneaker fans and posters at Nike Talk. I agree with their approval of KJax’s custom Dunks and hope he continues making great designs in the future.

    The theme of KJax’s latest custom is the process of creating a pair of hot sneakers. KJax added a cartoon of a designer with a can of spray paint on both heels. The cartoon designer has wreaked havoc on the Dunks with blue paint sprayed around the swoosh and lighter colors painted on the heel.

    KJax added his name in yellow paint just above the outsoles on both shoes to make his name known to sneaker fans. The designer has made his presence known so the yellow “KJax” painted on both shoes is merely a formality.

    Vans x Carhartt Chukka And Halfcab - #1

    Vans and Carhartt have teamed up on these shoes for fall. Carhartt has been busy in 2008 and their latest collaboration looks very nice. This Vans and Carhartt marriage is available in two different versions – Chukka and Halfcab.

    You can instantly tell Carhartt is involved in making these shoes due to the workwear materials used throughout the shoes. As you can see, these kicks feature brown uppers, complemented with black soles and red laces and trim. If you want to give these shoes a more rugged feel, switch out the red laces for black or brown laces. These shoes are expected to be released some time in September. Via High Snobiety.

    The Trainer II was introduced to the Nike SB line in November 2008. Entering the game with style Nike SB linked up with Supreme to release the trainers in four different color ways. Not too long after that Nike SB released another batch of trainer Ibis, who like their predecessor received a warm welcome.

    This Trainer II wears a very popular color way birthed by the Air Jordan 1, which made its way to the Nike SB department in May 2005 with the release of the J Pack or Jordan Pack SB Dunk Low. Black suede can be seen around the toecap in addition to the black and blue leather, nylon and nubuck that make up this shoe. These should be available now at Nike SB dealers.

  • Nike Innovation Kitchen x Virtual Mo – Mobama Dunk Low 2008
    By on August 14th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Virtual Mo, a shoe artist, has designed two pairs of Mobama Dunk Low 2008 in the Nike Innovation Kitchen. The Mobama name is taken from a combination of the names of the artist Mo and Obama. Mo shows his support for the Democrat Senator Obama.

    This Mobama Dunk is a custom shoe because Virtual Mo designed it. However, this Mobama is manufactured in the Nike Innovation Kitchen. Presently, Virtual Mo made two pairs of these shoes but Nike might decide to release the design in a limited edition later on.

    These two designs look similar. The main difference is that one design has the laser image of Obama imposed on the toe box. The other design does not have this laser image.

    The toe box is pale blue with neat horizontal rows of perforations. The mudguard is dark blue. This blue leather forms a frame for the shoe and it extends back, all the way back to the heel of the sneaker. The midsection is in sky-blue leather. The Nike swoosh is red. The midsection has words that are printed on by laser. The white tongue does not distract from the light blue shoe lace. The color of the shoe lace is a good match with the midsection’s sky-blue leather.

    The inner lining and outsole use the same dark blue color. I like the use of blue colors in these two pairs of shoes.
