SlamJam has collaborated with Nike Air Force One to create the special design named Optical Force. SlamJam is an Italian store that picked up the Air Force One and gave it two new colorways. The SlamJam logo is embossed below the Nike logo on the heel tab. The SlamJam and Nike Air Force One “Optical Force” pack will be available for purchase from Sept. 20 at SlamJam Milan.

The yellow colorway looks bright and sunny. The material is wrinkled leather. The toe box has vertical columns of perforations stemming down from the first pair of shoe lace lock. The mudguard is a slightly raised portion that surrounds the toe box. White color is used as an accent. The shoe lace, tag at the tongue, inner lining, Nike swoosh, midsole and outsole are white. The inner lining is padded with mesh material. The shiny look is somewhat subdued by the wrinkled leather so the look is a right mix. The sneaker uses just two colors and the effect gives the shoe a clean look.

The black colorway is identical to the yellow one. I like the black colorway. The black shine is sufficient to show the glossy shine.

Every college student who has sat through an intro philosophy class can appreciate the theme of Vandalized Kicks’ latest customs. These customized Vans slip-ons feature the likenesses of Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche set against pink fabric. I found this picture as well as product information for the Pink Thinkers at the Vandalized Kicks website linked here.

I like the use of captions on both shoes to highlight the fundamental beliefs of both thinkers. Nietzsche is shown on the right shoe saying “Fear is the mother of morality” while Sartre’s famous line “Hell is other people” is painted on the left shoe. If you take a look at pictures of both thinkers near the end of their lives, you will notice that the portraiture is fantastic on the Pink Thinkers.

You can still pick up a pair of the Pink Thinkers if you need a men’s size 9 or women’s size 10.5. Vandalized Kicks has the Pink Thinkers listed at $100 and the great detail explains the premium price.

Here is a detailed look at the Back to the Future 2 – Nike Dunk High Customs which were created by 3R Customs. Everyone has at some point in their lives seen Back to the Future so its only right! Recently, a 3R Customs customer named sportfreak requested a pair of customs based off the original Back To The Future Dunks. Sole Jester from 3R Customs took his idea and inspiration from the colorful design off  Marty’s lenticular hat which he wore in the sequel to Back To The Future.

Here is an early look at the Nike SB Summer 2009 releases. This picture heavy posts contains pictures of a black/purple dunk high which were originally scraped from this summers releases, a P-Rod 2 featuring the same exact colorway as the 2002 White Supreme Dunk Low along with some eye catching blazers which are said to be a brighter red than the picture show, premium mids and much more. Be sure to check out the pictures after the jump. Via NSB

While most releases rely heavily on leather, these Nike Air Force 1 Supreme kicks use allover canvas. These unique shoes offer a subdued look that will look good with almost any getup. Above is the red version and there is also a Varsity Royal blue pair. According Sneaker News, a third and final grey pair will also be in the pack.

The Nike swoosh is incognito using the same material as the upper. Besides the red, you can also see a light cream color (Sail) used on the laces, inner lining, tongue tab and on the midsole. You can find these shoes at Premium Laces in New York.

Here is a detailed look at the Custom Air Jordan Fusion 3 (III) Rainbow Glass designed by Mateo. Mateo used the Air Jordan 3 (III) / Air Force One Fusion (GS) – White / Comet Red as his inspiration for the design. The shattered rainbow pattern and hand stitched Nike swoosh added to the shoe really make it stand out in a crowd. A brightly speckled midsole compliments the stitching on the toe box which pulls all of the bright colors together.
