Jams was David Y. Rochlen’s foray into fashion in the 60’s, which were basically hip pajamas with a surfer attitude. Still around to this day they have teamed up with Converse for these sneakers that are going to release this month. Get your sunglasses out, these ones are bright.
Ben Grace used Lupe Fiasco’s newest album The Cool as the inspiration for his latest Air Force Ones. The Lupe Fiasco AF1s are available in a size 10.5 US and Ben is looking for offers from the custom sneaker community. You can reach Ben at his MySpace page linked here if you are interested in these hot customs.
On the album cover for The Cool, Lupe Fiasco used images of death like a skeleton’s hand and a skull to match the album’s themes. Ben inserted these elements as accents to his portraits of the rapper. The designer alternated between white/black and black/white with the portrait rendered in black on the left shoe and white on the right shoe. He followed an opposite pattern on the toe boxes with a white hand on the left shoe and a black skeleton’s hand on the right.
Ben Grace took on a hot target with Lupe Fiasco’s hit 2007 album. In using The Cool as his muse, Ben exceeded expectations with a fantastic pair of customs featuring an uncanny likeness of the rapper. Feel free to contact the designer at the MySpace page above to figure out the right price on these great shoes.
The Nike SB “Skater Boys 90’s Pack”. This has a Goofy Boy Dunk Mid Pro and a Goofy Boy Dunk SB. This pack is sold at LTD website.
The first shoe, Goofy Boy Dunk Mid Pro, is in a white/blue/black colorway. The white toe box is hemmed in by a blue suede mudguard.

The heel has a large panel of black leather. The collar at the ankle has a white strap. The highlight of this would be the red colored SB branding and the red rims for the strap. The back tab and the collar are in plaid. The Nike swoosh is white and blends into the midsection of the shoe.

Expected to hit stores in upcoming months is this Nike Sportswear Air Max 1 Volt. It has a light, clean look to it and has a chance to be one of the hotter Air Max releases for Summer 2009.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of these shoes is the subtle white-on-white Nike swoosh. Rather than pure white-on-white, Volt green stitching is used to add just a dash of flavor. That same neon green is also found around the ankles, in the air pocket and a few other places on the shoe. The shoe offers touches of glossy patent leather in various places, as well as mesh material on the toebox. Via Sneaker News.
