The Flyknit Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low is now available for customization on NIKEiD, but not offered are the special graphics from the original colorways of its high-top predecessor. Dank Customs defies the rules again, turning three of the ultra-high colorways into convertible low tops. With assistance from Kikeronincheese, these altered aesthetics chop the top off of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Influence”, “Perspective”, and “All-Star Maestro.” Cut to turn the achilles-striped heel panel into a pull tab, these custom creations are true one-of-ones. Get a closer look at the trio of topless Kobe 9 colorways below, and tell us what you think in the feedback space at the end.

Falling in between the Three Stripes’ brand new Boost releases and vintage throwbacks comes the adidas Temper Run, a middleman retro from 1997. This adidas Original is composed with a fiery-paneled upper that brings the inferno in a duo of contrasting colorways. Both composed of the same mesh and leather bases with suede overlays, these two Temper Runs collide in grey and vivid yellow. Yellow detailing, white adiPRENE midsoles and black outsoles make up the rest of the design, which is finished with a Trefoil logo on the tongue for a classic but not old appearance. Get a closer look at the Temper Run retro via Crooked Tongues below, and watch for these to hit shelves in the near future.

After making a strong return via size? collaborations, the Nike Air Max 93 is now continuing its retro momentum with both original and brand new colorways. The latest from the line is this new white and hyper crimson style code, which is color-blocked exactly like the first designs in 1993, but contains a lighter shade on the Swoosh and visible Air than the red OG. The same neoprene bootie and base with leather overlays is dressed in white and black, keeping the focus on the feature. Tell us what you think of this recognizable rendition in the feedback space below, and track down a pair of these today from atmos.

Following in the footsteps of Police Squad and paving the way for Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the Fun Police restored comedic crime fighting in the late ’90s via a string of silly sneaker commercials. The Nike Sonic Flight “Fun Police” recalls the quirky bunch, outfitting the Gary Payton hybrid in the squad’s shade of yellow. Black bases the tongue, leather underlays and Monkey Paw support on this themed take, with white wearing well on the outsole. Fans of the Nike Sonic Flight “Fun Police” can pick up a pair overseas at mita.
