The Air Jordan 1 is undoubtably one of if not the most popular Jordan models to date. It has also contributed more to the sneaker world than other shoe. This Jordan 1 combines the best of the both worlds for sneaker and sport entusiats. This is the first time the Jordan 1 has been given the special Olympic colorway.

Like the other Olympic themed Jordans these too are made of a white base. The metallic adds a nice flair to the red and blue accents. The gold image on the side says Team, which represents the USA Basketball Team.Although the “Dream Team” are long gone, the “Reedem Team” is here is to stay and definitely a force to be reckoned with. The same can be said about Olympic Jordans who time after time proved to worthy of fans approval.  More info after the jump.

Adidas will be releasing their 4 Elements of Hip Hop Collection over the coming months. This set of shoes and apparel is inspired by DJs, graffiti artists, MC’s and Bboys past and present.

The first set of sneakers, which is due out at adidas Originals stores later in the month, focuses on the BBoy element. The set includes a Decade Hi, Superstar 2 and Superstar 86 Bboy. According to Complex, the “cardboard” colorway is representative of the cardboard break dancers would put down on the sidewalks.

Nike Craig Stecyk/Lance Mountain Blazer SB is a special shoe. Craig Stecyk is the shoe designer that worked with Dogtown, Zephyr, Juxtapoz and Arkitip. This shoe is made of orange colored nubuck, suede and has other nice features.

This sneaker looks clean and classic with its uniform color on its upper. The off white shoe lace is a bright contrast against the orange colored leathers. The tip of the tongue has a tag in lighter orange. Nike in black letters is printed on the tag. The tag is in fabric, with tiny white dots that form texture for the tag. These dots also appear on the black letters. The tongue looks like it is of nubuck leather. The Nike swoosh is a lighter shade of orange.

The inner sole is orange colored and has a zig zag pattern of purple colored lines. There is a separate line of tiny machine-like holes that follow the purple lines. The backtab of the heel has embroidery of a graphic that looks like a rectangle face with two rows of teeth. This graphic looks like a skull. The midsole is special with rough, raised surface that gives a textured look. This shoe will be available in the Nike stores soon. I’m impressed with this design.

Self Made Apparel made a nice splash on Nike Talk recently by posting custom Nikes themed on “Rocko’s Modern Life.” The designer is a fan of Nickelodeon cartoons judging by his last pair of customs, a pair of Nike Air Max 90s based on the show “AHHHH! Real Monsters.” These custom shoes were found on the Nike Talk posted linked here.

The designer found these used Nike trainers at a discount store in the early stages of thinking about a “Rocko’s Modern Life” shoe. He opted for the trainers instead of a new pair of Dunks after a bolt of inspiration. The result of this artistic epiphany (and a week’s worth of work) is a great pair of customs for cartoon fans.

Self Made Apparel used the photo at the very bottom of this post as the inspiration for these Nike customs. Each Nike swoosh features the titular wallaby with his eyes bugging out in surprise. The rest of the shoe features a blue/purple colorway that matches Rocko’s printed shirt along with some pink paint to represent the character’s fur.

The Nike ACG Air Wildwood is out in this anthracite colorway that’s accented with a concord blue midsole and swoosh, along with volt accents.

This shoe features a black leather mudguard and speckled heel treatment. If you are a fan of the Wildwood, this version is a nice combination of both dark and bright colors. You can get these shoes right now at Finishline and other retailers. Via Sneaker News.
