The last pair of sneakers posted by Illmatic Customs got some great responses from readers like you. I found another pair of splattered Nike Dunks posted at the designer’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The Purple Splatter Dunks feature a purple/white/green colorway that is more vibrant than the Umairican Dunks shown earlier this week. The purple background is dark enough to set off the bright white and neon green for viewers near and fear. The flecks of green and spots of white are placed to look like they are random; however, the overall effect shows that the designer knows exactly where every drop of paint is heading.

I am a big fan of the Purple Splatter Dunks and the work of Illmatic Customs. It is difficult for any designer to create a great shoe; Illmatic makes awesome sneakers without breaking a sweat. I look forward to seeing more work like the Purple Splatter Dunks from Illmatic in the future.

Lupe Fiasco recently was fortunate enough to design a pair of Nike Air Force 1 iD’s and his point of inspiration was his label, Fall of Rome. The Air Force 1’s he used for his iD’s were a pair of AF1 Low’s, mixed with some premium leather, patent leather, and mixture of Black and Gold. The custom AF1 shoetag reads “IV” which also symbolizes his F.O.R. label and his name for this shoe, AFIV. No information on whether or not these will be released but as of right now they are limited to four pairs worldwide.

A few weeks back, we told you about the Lanvin high tops in their Fall/Winter 2008 collection. Now here’s another shoe from the collection that you may really like. This time it’s a low verison in black.

Most baseball fans or common sports enthusiasts know that this is the Yankees last season in Yankees Stadium before they move across the street to the new stadium.

The shoe itself has some direct references to the Yankees such as the colors, pinstripe upper, and NYC 08 lace lock.
