Bespoke connoisseur Slovadon links up with custom king Mache for a TV take on the Nike Air Force 1. Inspired by the “Turtle” colorway from Entourage, this pair sports gold paneling and black accents. Boston cues finish off these Forces in personalized detail, offering nods to the client’s hometown teams and shoe shops.

Combining an all-green midsole with a bright red upper, the Vans Authentic “Watermelon” is a refreshingly simple yet stunning design. Black dots cover the entire upper, mimicking watermelon seeds to the tee. Additional images of this pair can be seen below.
