Is it 1991? Is it 1999? It feels like all the above in this week’s Celebrity Sneaker Stalker. NYC reppers old and young get headliner credits, as we find Patrick Ewing popping up at Kith in his own kicks and Joey Bada$$ rocking Air Maxes straight out of Amsterdam. Never fear, there’s still an ample amount of Jordans, the return of Wale, and even some unreleased Pennys. Who rocked the best heat? You tell us by voting on Twitter.

Not all Instagram accounts are created equal. While many in the sneaker community choose to use the app to regularly show off their #todayskicks and highlight their latest pickups, some choose the medium strictly for creative exhibition. Santlov is one of those artists. His Instagram photos of well-known characters performing everyday activities have garnered him a wide following. However, what makes Santlov unique is his obvious love of sneakers, which is evidenced by the toys in his photos frequently wearing immediately recognizable Nike, New Balance and Jordan kicks. We wanted to highlight Santlov’s highly-detailed work, so we put together a gallery of his pics that feature characters like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Woody from Toy Story and Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas rocking all sorts of heat. Check out all the images on display below, and make sure to follow Santlov on Instagram to continue tracking his unique photo creations.

Two pair of Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” have been customized with a 90′s twist. The television show “A Different World” embodied the youth and colors of the decade, and this customization does the same. An added creative touch comes in the form of a modified Jumpman symbol, and interior paint job on the box. The winning bid will have a choice of two personalized shoes. One with all panels painted, and the other a little more subdued. Contact niftnif1990 for all inquiries.
