Flydea was tasked with bringing a pair of roughed-up Nike Air Force Ones back to life. Instead of just cleaning off some asphalt and putting out a basic design, the designer created the vibrant Sublime AF1s. I found the Sublime Air Force Ones at Flydea’s Nike Talk post linked here.

Flydea used the band Sublime as a partial inspiration for these wild customs. The middle panel features a Dalmation white/black pattern that is intriguing compared to the orange Nike swoosh. Flydea used orange on the rest of the shoe with the exception of some crashing blue waves just above the midsole.

The designer was not averse to bringing out all the tools in his kit to finish this restoration. Flydea faded the orange on the Nike swoosh into yellow, showing his skilled hand and eye for creativity. The sum of the design elements are greater than the whole on the Sublime Air Force Ones.

With the 2009 NBA All-Star Game less than a week away, you will probably see a lot of these Nike Huarache 09s hit the street soon. With a dark color scheme, this basketball shoe can be worn with a variety of getups. Despite the lack of colors, the intricate designs and various patterns give this sneaker a definite new school feel.

Perhaps the first thing you notice when you take a look at these kicks is the shiny Nike swoosh that stands out even in a black-on-black setting. An added bonus of these black and anthracite Huaraches is the fact that they are made with Environmentally Preferred Materials. If you want to purchase these sneaks, head over to Nike.com with $110.

This has been in the news lately. Since the first word of this pack, there have been releases in Barcelona and Berlin last month. Now we have another look at the pack as it is set to release this Valentine’s day. This pack includes the 1972 classic OG kicks along with the Nike Sportswear Cortez Fly Motion which features Flywire technology. This will be released alongside a 30 second animated video just made for the said pack.

YoaKustoms used his D(EYE)NO-mite Dunks to bring us eye to eye with a dinosaur. The designer shows the power of this prehistoric beast by simply focusing on its eyes. These photos were found at the YoaKustoms Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The designer used a yellow/green colorway to depict the skin color of the fearsome beast. On both sides of each shoe, YoaKustoms paints black pupils within yellow eyeballs to show the beast’s narrow focus on its prey. As your eye moves outward from the pupil, you begin to see bits of green in the eye socket before the entire shoe gives way to green scales.

I love YoaKustom’s depiction of each shoe as a dinosaur, surveying its territory before hunting down its next meal. The D(EYE)NO-mite Dunks live up to their name with subtle imagery and vibrant colors. YoaKustoms did a great job with small details like shading underneath the eyes and the spot-on look of the green scales that made these shoes look great.

The Dub Zero was Jordan Brand’s first fusion type shoe, and it was a hit. Just like the Cement III’s and IV’s these were modeled after. Cement has become Jordan’s biggest and most famous color way, aside from the Bulls Red, Black and White. However, if you can’t pick up a pair of cement III’s (regular or fusion), IV’s or even the cement phat I’s you can get your cement fix with these Dub Zeros. The midsole feature the beloved gray and black speckled print along with some solid black trimmings. Besides the “cement”, the color blocking on the upper might catch your eye. Usually the shoes on the upper side panels are outlined with the accent color of the color way but this time they went with a little different approach. Instead they’ve colored certain parts of the shoes a dark grey that’ll help you distinguish them from one another a little better, not that you need any help. The Cement Dub Zero won’t officially release until April but grab them early at Marqueesole.

For the ladies, check out these Nike Terminator Highs. With a bright and exciting look, these shoes are sure to grab wanted attention. At the same time, the old school look will allow these sneakers to survive the test of time.

The colorway for these Terminator High sneakers is Hyper Verde green and white. Using a white base the bold green is used throughout the sneakers to make these a very vibrant choice. Via Sneaker News.
