This Custom Nike Dynasty High was designed by Desp1 of Fresh&Fly Customs. Desp1 dubbed this custom “Ele’Mint”. The sneaker comes with an outstanding design. The sneaker features an grey base, with features two different shades of grey. Elephant print is seen on the lace panels, toe panels, and heel strip. Black is placed on the toe box and heel, while touches of mint are used on the Nike Swoosh and heel. Both the shoe laces and midsole feature white. This custom has great detail and comes with a crazy design, especially the elephant print. Gotta give props to Desp1 for putting this one together. Only one pair was made and that was is size 9.5. They were put up on eBay, so go put a bid down.

How many Zoom Kobe V models have we see so far in 2010? Im gonna guess more than 10, but it could be way more. Nikes latest Zoom Kobe V is an Player Exclusive for the University of Southern California. The shoe comes in the USC team colors. This Kobe V features an snakeskin pattern. I don’t think we have ever seen snakeskin on a Kobe V.

Cardinal red is seen throughout the shoe including the toe box, ankle, mid panel , liner, and tongue. USC Gold is seen on the Nike Swoosh, Black Mamba logo, and shoe laces. Both the midsole and heel are done up in white. These aren’t really for anyone, but these would be great for any USC fan. We have no idea if these will release or not, so stay tuned for updates.

For those of you who don’t know, Kobe Bryant was not drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers. He was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets, now the New Orleans Hornets. Shortly after the draft,  the Lakers traded Vlade Divac to the Hornets for Kobe Bryant. The Lakers won huge on that trade.

This latest Nike Zoom Kobe V comes in the Charlotte Hornets team colors. Most of the sneaker comes in white. Blue is featured on the Nike Swoosh, outsole, ankle, and heel. Purple is seen on the liner and the Black Mamba logo. The shoe also comes with multicolor shoe laces. This doesn’t measure up to the other Kobe Vs we have seen as of late, but its still nice. Stick with MyAirShoes for updates on the release date.

So far 2010 has been huge for the Nike Zoom Kobe V. We have seen great color ways on the Zoom Kobe V so far this year. But most of them have either not released or the release was limited. This latest Nike Zoom Kobe V has never been wore by Kobe Bryant him self. But look for Kobe to wear them at home games, as this sneaker comes in the Lakers home colors.

This sneaker perfectly matches the Lakers home Jerseys. Pearl white is seen on most of the upper, while purple is placed on the liner, outsole, and Nike Swoosh outline. Both the heel and Nike Swoosh are done up in yellow. The midsole is done up in white. The sneaker also comes with multicolor shoe laces. It looks like the Kobe V is coming close to the LeBron VII, but it still has ways to go.

Going back to the original Chuck Taylor design, Converse made a few upgrades on this legendary sneaker. By incorporating high rubber rand, premium comfort system, and vintage rubber license plate, this enhanced shoe promises a modern look. It comes in Black and Blue color-ups and will drop later this month. [NiceKicks]

The Chukka Boot from Vans was chosen to be Crooks & Castles’ subject for collaboration. A special treatment from textured Black premium leather in a wood grain design was applied on the ankle and heel panels while plain Black leather covered the toe area. Eyelets come in Black except for the top pair which is done in metal that simply goes with the Vans logo on the ankle, chain link C and castle logo on the tongue, and of course the vulcanized rubber sole. This will drop at the Melrose and Sunset Crooks stores in LA. [NiceKicks]
