Emmanuelabor has used the California state flag as inspiration for multiple custom sneakers. The designer showed why sneaker fans love his shoes with the latest version of the Cali Nike Dunks. These sneakers were found at Emmanuelabor’s Nike Talk post linked here.

The tongue features a replica of the California flag complete with bear and the words “California Republic.” Emmanuelabor recreated the California bear on the outsides of both shoes, showing a skilled hand and a good eye. The Nike symbol on the heel tag is colored red and green to honor the colors of the flag.

I have mixed feelings about the brown fake fur used on the toe box, tongue and middle panel. Emmanuelabor wanted to add texture to the Cali Nike Dunks and the California bear seemed like a natural muse. While I love the look of the fake fur, I have a feeling that the Cali Nike Dunks would be ruined immediately after taking the first step outside. Even with this reservation, I think the Cali Nike Dunks are some of Emmanuelabor’s finest work.

Mihara once again did a good Job in a designing a shoe. Japanese designer has been with PUMA for around 10 years. His unconventional designs showcase his creativity in the PUMA style. The melting effect in this release can also be seen and observed. The only difference with this one is that it’s starting from the heel of the midsole area and causing the appearance to look warped. Take a look at the pics.

Welcome back to the Nike Air Tailwind 92 and Air Structure Triax! Due to popularity, these two models made their way to the Spring/Summer 2009 Collection.

The latest sneaker from Converse called the Jack Purcell LTT has a combination from the previously released Barney in perforated patent leather. This comes in Black and White colorways with the signature White sole and toe-cap. It comes with silver-finished eyelets with the White laces. On the in-sole is a rubberized Jack Purcell logo in Red. Both colorways will be available in Summer.

This Nike Premium SB Mid with Navy Blue/White colorway is set to come out this June. They’re simple, but still pretty hot. The gold accents add something to the navy blue.

Converse is releasing a new All Star High to honor Pink Floyd. Their Masterpiece album Darkside of the Moon is illustrated on the side of the black upper. The result looks great, and it is accented well by the design on the midsole. The rainbow on the heel is the final touch.
