Nike Air Jordan 1 Low Phat will be released in the Spring of 2009. This shoe is being made in 2 classic combinations. Nike will release more information in the Spring.

Let’s look at the black colorway first. The toe box is black. Its mudguard is in cement print and this accent looks outstanding. The shoe lace holes are on two panels of grey colored strips. A partial shoe strap meeting at the start of the shoe laces further accentuates this area. The black colored shoe lace continues the look of the black colorway. The heel has a generous panel of cement print. The Nike logos are done in red color and they look outstanding. The white midsole is white and a striking contrast to the rest of the shoe. The outsole is black to complement the white midsole.

The white colorway has a similar design. One obvious difference is that the shoe lace panel is white in color and not grey as in its counterpart. I prefer the black colorway. The colors are good for Spring when the outdoors have mushy soil. The white colorway will be good as an indoor shoe.

Here’s a preview of some of the Nike Dunks that will be released for Spring 2009. These two shoes shown will be released early in 2009. Although similar in style and look, two completely different color schemes are at work.

The Dunk Lo is a simple colorway with grey, white and lime green. The Dunk Hi is more vibrant with numerous colors including lime green, white, purple, yellow, red, orange and blue. If your objective is to turn heads, each of these shoes are more than able to do just that with their fresh spring colors. Look for more information on these and other Dunks for Spring 2009 in upcoming weeks.Via High Snobiety.

The above sneaker will be representing The City of Angels in the LeBron VI City Pack due to drop next year. We already showed you the NYC and Miami versions of LeBron’s sixth signature shoe, which did a pretty good job for their respective cities. The LA version is similar to the Athlete version that dropped in October, because of the light grey upper. The upper is actually a mixture of light and dark grey leather and fabric, with a dark grey swoosh outlined in black leather. Near the near you will see LeBron’s Dunkman Logo in white surrounded by five circles filled with five different colors (red, blue, green, orange, and yellow). The midsole is covered entirely in graffiti style writing with LeBron-themed words like; Ohio, Akron, Fearless, and Passion just to name to a few. Catch these in action January 19^th when the Cavs head to LA to take on the Lakers. No word on a release date yet. VIA: SN
 

Ripp worked with a client named Richard to create a father-son custom sneaker duo based on The Lion King. Richard wanted his son to have Simba Nikes while he wanted Mufasa Air Force Ones to play off the movie’s father-son dynamic. Ripp created a unified image across all four toe boxes while keeping each pair creative on their own.

Richard’s Air Force Ones feature Mufasa standing against a clear blue sky and desert backdrop. His son’s custom Nikes have Simba’s head on the left shoe and the name Simba along with the lion’s tail on the right shoe. When you put the smaller Nikes between the Air Force Ones, it looks like Mufasa is playing with his precocious son while protecting him from harm.

Ripp added some fun accents outside of the toe boxes to leave his mark on this Lion King Nike pack. Timon is pictured on the outside of the kid Nikes along with a pair of paw prints. Richard asked for the Lion of Judah to be painted on the heel which Ripp obliged with his usual artistic skill. If you are interested in learning more about the Simba and Mufasa Nikes, hit up Ripp by email at [email protected].
