  • Scribble Air Force Ones
    By on November 26th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Sekure D’s superior design skills are on display again with the Scribble Air Force Ones. The designer imagined these shoes as a drawing pad filled with lines, circles and other shapes scribbled during moments of boredom.

    The blood red/black colorway is an eye catching backdrop for the scribbles, doodles and other drawings done by Sekure D. The middle panel is left white to break up the blood red paint and allow viewers to see scribbles in a new light.

    The designer has showcased these custom Air Force Ones on his website linked here. These one-of-a-kind kicks are available in a size 12US for $325. The price should be right for a committed sneaker fan who wants to wear an interesting pair of Air Force Ones. You can contact Sekure D at [email protected] to find out more about the Scribble Air Force Ones.

    Here is a new Dunk High for Women. The new women’s dunk model features a slimmer midsole and sleeker silhouette, which some ladies just can’t get with. If you cant get with the design maybe the materials will appeal to you. A combination of Pink, Rose, and Plum satin was ruffled then used on the upper. Tied together rather nicely by the metallic gold swoosh. No info on pricing or availability. Via: SneakerFreaker

    nonnative x New Balance 1700 Model - #1

    Japanese label nonnative has hooked up with New Balance again. This time, they worked on the classic 1700 model.

    Using suede uppers with lots of perforations, these shoes have a very minimalistic approach. There is contrast color on the heel and around the ankle, with white used on the midsole, laces and other details.

    If you are looking for a warm looking pair of sneakers for winter, these are a good choice. The sneakers are expected to release in December 2008 at select retailers including Vendor and Tokishirazu. Via Hypebeast.

  • Nike Zoom Lebron VI – Big Apple
    By on November 25th, 2008 | No Comments Comments


    Lebron James definitely has a thing for New York and it’s evident by looking at the latest Zoom Lebron VI. First was the Graffiti Zoom IV, then the Yankees Zoom V and now and certainly the most impressing the Big Apple Zoom VI. I don’t know if it’s the color way, the materials or the speckled midsole but these are the definition of Eye Candy.The smooth red premium leather upper is accented by red patent leather that was placed in all the right places. The grey speckled midsole (done to perfection) has to be one of the dopest things about these kicks.

    Still not convinced? Well tune in to today (November 25) to get your sneak peak, Lebron will be wearing these as the Cavaliers take their first trip of the season to Madison Square Garden. These will release Black Friday November 28, at Niketown and the Harlem House of Hoops and retail for a steal price $140. Hope that doesn’t put too much of a damper on your plans.

    This is a classical, traditional looking Air Max Light. It comes in the traditional colors of varsity blue, light grey, dark grey and white. The dark grey accents are in the right amounts to make the light grey sections look outstanding in contrast. This shoe is sold at Size? website.

One section hosts the holes on a dark grey panel while the higher set of holes is hosted on light grey panels. The white lace is a bright contrast against the grey colored panels.

The collar at the ankle of the shoe is in fabric.The back tab at the heel is a light grey panel.Nike and the Air logos are embroidered in varsity blue.

  • Hypethetic Onitsuka Tigers
    By on November 25th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Hypethetic promoted his latest custom Onitsuka Tigers at the Customsnkr.com blog linked here. The Onitsuka Tiger is a favorite of college students and young professionals worldwide who like a stylish, lightweight pair of sneakers. These sneakers were designed for versatility and flash, both measures achieved successfully by Hypethetic.

    I am fond of Hypethetic’s use of a detachable lace cover shown in the picture below. The lace cover has a colorful design that looks like a Magic Eye poster from a distance. This pattern is continued on the rest of the shoe with Hypethetic fading colors from purple to yellow and back.

    While the colorful design by Hypethetic may seem disorienting, I like the different elements used by the designer to enhance these Onitsuka Tigers. The brightly colored stripes on the side vary from neon green to bright orange to stand out against the rapidly changing spectrum. Hypethetic added his logo to the heel tag though it is difficult to think of another artist who is bolder with color than this veteran designer.
