Rio Ferdinand x Nike 1World Air Force 1

Such an unusual feat of accomplishment, such an unparalleled combination of talents.

And the result is a shining diamond in the middle of the night of boredom.

Oh the stars, oh the seas. If Shakespeare were alive today, he would composed a 1000-act romantic play on the love affair between sneakerheads and this pair. This matchless gem of creativity is brought to us by Nike. And we will bring this to you with a burning tongue, and uncontrollable enthusiasm.

This beautiful desert shoe is a spectacular creation from the genius brains of Aaron Rose. The rose-like grace of the pair, the artistic execution of its design, the elegant form that makes it look like an item of status and power rather than an item of footwear, all these enhance the magnificent beauty of this priceless design.

Vans Vault Summer 2009 Lowtop Releases

Vans Vault Summer 2009 Lowtop Releases

Tekneek Custom Sneakers has been busy in 2009 putting out some hot customs themed after the Buffalo Bandits and Sesame Street. The American Flag Air Force Ones move away from these more trivial themes to celebrate America’s iconic imagery and colors. I found these photos at Tekneek Custom’s Facebook page linked here.

The designer started by painting the toes and eyelets blue and the toe box red for a solid base. Tekneek got more elaborate by the middle panel with white stripes separated by thin red lines. The white Nike swoosh cuts a majestic path over the red/white stripes as it heads toward the heel.

Tekneek applied a blue triangle backdrop to the heel with a large white star stationed in the center. The interior sides of the American Flag Air Force Ones are painted solid red to contrast the white/red stripes on the outside. Tekneek shows a great eye for balanced design while honoring the red, white and blue of the American flag on these custom Air Force Ones. While the American Flag Air Force Ones are one-of-a-kind, you can get your own customs from Tekneek Custom Sneakers by emailing [email protected].

Simplicity cannot be always matched when it comes to some designs of sneakers. The Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 White/Team Red is simply an example of an unmatched simplicity. It has a white leather upper with red accents on the swoosh. This new design is now available among selected Nike retailers and outlets.

Vans Vault has just announced the new designs of footwear included on its awaited Summer 2009 Collection. This set consists of shoes with more prints and graphics intended for a more care free feel fit for the season. The collection will be launched next month.
