Michael Lau and Nike have collaborated together to create the “Psychiatric Ward”. This is the Nike Air Crazy Force 1 sneaker and toy. The shoe uses the Air Force 1 comes as a quilted upper. It has some laser customizations. The quilted lattice is special as at joint of every square, there is an extra design, like a lock, at the joint.

The white shoe lace leads the way up to the tip of the tongue, which shows a number in gold colored paint. That is supposed to be the number of the psychiatric ward. The heel of the shoe has some stencilled lines to indicate the counting of days. Supposedly, in a psychiatric ward or prison, where there are no calendars, the inmates used the bunches of five lines to count away the days. The white midsole and outsole complete the look of the shoe.

The toy that comes with the shoe is a statue of a psychiatric ward patient. The statue has cunning eyes, seemingly trying to cook up a scheme to get free of the strait jacket. The toy comes in white and an extra color black for its hair. This Michael Lau & Nike Air Crazy Force One Pack will be released during the weekend of November 22-23.

You might have heard of this upcoming release, but now here’s some clean, detailed images of the upcoming collaboration between XLarge and Vans on the Sk8 Hi.

These shoes feature a black suede upper and a multi-colored XLarge print. The laces come in every color that’s on the sneakers. The stark white midsole are a great contrast to the rest of the shoes.

You can get these kicks beginning on December 12th. Via High Snobiety.

HelloDesign turned an off-white pair of Converse All Stars into a fun twist on Mickey Mouse. Mickey’s 80th birthday has recently passed and HelloDesign seems to have taken on the innocent image of the cartoon character with these shoes. I found these photos at HelloDesign’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The right shoe has an image of Mickey Mouse smiling with pointy vampire teeth. The look in Mickey’s eyes portends more mischief than fun but HelloDesign does a good job of playing with the character without going over the edge. The interior of the left shoe features the words Walk Disney in the familiar cursive font of Walt Disney.

While the blank canvas of the Converse All Stars is an easy mark for custom artists, HelloDesign didn’t waste space with abstract designs and bright colors. The Mickey Vampire Converse All Stars are fairly simple but the designer’s irreverent take on an iconic image is appreciated.

The Jordan 1 High Straps will be making there way into stores today, releasing in three different color ways.First is a predominantly black color way, next is a white, black and red color way. Last but not least the somewhat highly anticipated breds. Why pay upwards of $250 for the 2001 retro when these (look alikes) are only $110. If you haven’t already, run to your local Jordan Brand accounts, they will go quick.
