As I was flipping through Facebook yesterday, I was looking at pages for designers who I have overlooked in the past. One such designer, Stay Phly Customs, caught my eye with a work of sneaker art called the LiquiPhly Air Force Ones. Stay Phly notes that these AF1s were made for a client named C Bells in a men’s size 9.5.

The purple/blue/yellow colorway on the LiquiPhly AF1s show that Stay Phly is not playing his cards close to the vest. These customs feature the client’s name in purple with yellow outlining on the left heel, only one step used to separate these customs from others on the market. The designer wrote out Stay Phly on the inside edges of both shoes to leave his mark on these hot customs.

I am a big fan of the paint dripping effect used by Stay Phly to live up to the LiquiPhly name. You can see in the pictures below that the designer carefully let paint drip down from the toe boxes and eyelets to create a unique look without making these shoes sloppy. If you want to drop Stay Phly a line and get your own customs, check out his Facebook page linked here.

This moccasin-inspired FBT is another new line from Japan’s Vismin brand. It comes in a two-toned waxed suede upper with the company’s logo embossed on the topping shroud. Featuring four different colorways such asBlue/Grey, Brown/Yellow, Black/Teal, and Green/White. Check them out at HUF.

Shawn Stussy, the creator of Stussy Clothing is back and has now teamed up with Vans for its current project – the S/Double. The Black sneakers are seated on a White rubber sole, and feature Stussy’s famous hand lettering on the heel. It will be a release for the Spring or Summer of 2009.

The Nike Terminator Lux Pack consists of two shoes. There is a white colorway for the Nike Terminator Hi Lux and a black colorway for the Nike Terminator Lo Lux. Look for these shoes at Nike.

The Nike Terminator Hi Lux is all white. The toe box is surrounded by a mudguard with double stitching at the seam. The white shoe lace ends with a cap in gold color. The midsection is divided into panels by using machine thread stitching. The Nike swoosh slopes down gracefully, following the slope of the heel. The backtab at the back of the heel has a small hook. The midsole is white to continue the clean look and it ends with the gum sole. The tipoff the tongue has a gold colored Nike Tag.

The Nike Terminator Lux Lo is all black. There is a difference in the types of leather used. The mudguard has a grainy kind of leather that also has variations in its color. The midsole is kept white as a good contrast. The black shoe lace has a contrast with the leather shoe as the different materials own properties which make their colors different. I prefer the Nike Terminator Lo Lux in black colorway. (Images)
