  • Whaam! Nike Air Force Ones
    By on January 27th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    Roy Lichtenstein was an artist who used pop culture imagery in his paintings. KickerbockerGlory channeled Lichtenstein’s 1963 painting Whaam! in these custom Air Force Ones. You can see more of the Whaam! AF1s at the KickerbockerGlory website linked here.

    The painting in question is a depiction of a comic book scene complete with lush colors, battle sounds and over-the-top imagery. KickerbockerGlory does the great artist justice by replicating the two-panel painting on a pair of white Air Force Ones. On the toe boxes, you see a plane shot down with the word “Whaam!” written in yellow letters. The inside of both shoes have yellow text boxes with the words used by Lichtenstein in his painting. On the heels, KickerBockerGlory shows the blazing guns that felled the airplanes on the toe boxes

    While yesterday’s Octopussy Nike Dunks show the sneaker artist’s subtle side, the Whaam! AF1s play to the more aggressive side that we know and love. The subject material is fantastic and KickerbockerGlory does not disappoint in transferring the painting to these Air Force Ones. KickerbockerGlory has priced these sneakers at around $160 USD plus shipping to the States.

  • Nike “Caroline” Dunk Hi
    By on January 27th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    This pair of Nike “Caroline” Dunk Hi looks cool. This shoe was designed to celebrate the upcoming movie, ”Caroline.” This shoe will be a limited edition as only 100 pairs featuring the large button will be made.

    Caroline is the name of a movie. The plot has a woman named Caroline who was supposedly killed in a plane crash. After 15 years, Caroline made her way back to her family. Caroline then asked for her rightful inheritance. The family did not know how to react because they had believed Caroline was killed in a plane crash.

    The shoe has a beige colored toe box, back tab and Nike swoosh. The large button in the middle of the shoe lacing is decorative. There are two more smaller buttons at the first pair of shoe lace holes. Some seams on the shoe have hand stitching to make the shoe look antique and unique. The light grey and dark grey panels look great. The inner lining is blue, and it matches with the blue colored outsole. This is a nice looking shoe for women. (Images)

  • Octopussy Nike Dunks
    By on January 27th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    KickerBockerGlory went away from his usual wild colors and conceptual designs when creating the Octopussy Nike Dunks. The British designer used a pair of VNTG Nike Dunks as his canvas instead of the more common Dunks and Air Force Ones used by other artists.

    Instead of evoking Wham! or Roy Lichtenstein, KickerBockerGlory used the title of a James Bond flick and the wonders of nature to inspire these customs. You can check out more of the Octopussy Nike Dunks at the KickerBockerGlory website linked here.

    The defining feature of the Octopussy Nike Dunks is the pair of writhing octopi painted on the heels. KickerBockerGlory used gray paint to depict the creature’s underside, complete with black circles for suckers. The top side is painted with bronze to create a nice shine as well as an attractive complement to the duller colors used throughout the shoe.
