This Nike Dunk Low has a wonderful mix of materials. From its past sales, mixing materials had often made up new winning recipes. Nike hopes for a warm reception for this sneaker too. This shoe is sold at Size?

The toe box is neutral grey leather. The toe box has perforations done into the leather in a random pattern. The mud guard surrounds the toe box and completely marks off the area. The midsection is thick, woven fabric, in black color. The Nike swoosh is in shiny, black leather. The heel is a large segment of smooth, black leather. The tongue is in neutral grey and the shoe lace is bright pink. This pink coordinates with the pink layer of the lower midsole. The upper layer of the midsole is yellow.

The back tab at the heel is a panel of shiny black leather, with “Nike” in shiny white letters. The inner lining is thick, black and padded. The second half of the shoe is in black color but because of the mix of materials, the black colors are all different and each segment is able to stand out. I like the bright look of the midsole. The yellow and pink is a cheerful combination.

A young designer with the nickname brooklynnyc3000 showed these Freddy Krueger customs at the Nike Talk post linked here. If you are unfamiliar with the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise of horror films, you may not know about the horrible visage of Freddy Krueger. This character’s place in the horror world was secured two decades ago but the designer digs deeper to bring Freddy Krueger back from the past.

These Nike Air Force One Mids showcase elements of Krueger’s face, shirt and clawed hands. You can see the mixture of blood and flesh on the toe box that makes up Freddy’s grizzled face. The designer added green and red stripes behind the swoosh to symbolize the villain’s signature shirt. Horror fans should enjoy the splatters of blood and nailed boards that set a dark tone throughout the rest of the shoe.

My favorite part of the Freddy Krueger Air Force Ones is the clawed hand grappling over the street sign on the tongue. While the inclusion of the name Elm Street would have made more sense than Thirst Street, the tongue shows the designer’s desire for detailed work. I am a fan of the Freddy Krueger Air Force One Mids and I hope that the designer devotes some time to the Leprechaun and Michael Myers in the future.

These shoes feature a Varsity Red leather upper with dark army accents. The multi-colored laces are also a nice touch. If you are fan of red sneakers, these are a great choice. Via Sneaker Files.

Rockstar Games and Jordan Brand celebrate their digital partnership with a limited-edition sneaker inspired by the soon to be released Midnight Club: Los Angeles and Los Angeles street racing culture. Taking their inspiration from the classic Air Jordan II released in 1987, the Jordan Classic 87 sneakers are a custom design for Rockstar Games styled in red and black with the official Midnight Club Kanji symbol emblazoned in red on the tongue. Translated, Kanji means Bayshore – the location on the Japanese coast where street racing started. Formed in 1985, the original Midnight Club was a Japanese street racing gang that hosted illegal races on the Bayshore Route of the Shuto Expressway between Tokyo to Yokohama. Regarded as one of the longest running street racing gangs, the Midnight Club became one of the most notorious and highly respected groups of its type. 

The sneakers come in a custom-made etched acrylic collector’s box with a copy of Midnight Club: Los Angeles and together are valued at $380. Only forty pairs will be manufactured.
