  • Aqua Teen Hunger Force Air Force Ones
    By on September 10th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    My love of Cartoon Network’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force has found voice in a pair of custom sneakers from Sneakers by Sean. The designer created custom Air Force Ones to celebrate the adventures of Frylock, Meatwad, Master Shake and Carl. I found these photos on Sneakers by Sean’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

    The designer did a great job sprinkling the show’s main and background characters throughout the shoe. The left toe box features the show’s trio who spend each episode breaking stuff, getting into trouble and trying to earn some money. The right toe box features the gang’s neighbor Carl, an angry guy who tries to avoid the food-based trio as much as possible.

    The shoe would have been incomplete without Oglethorpe and the Mooninites. Sneakers by Sean added Oglethorpe, an orange alien blob, on the outside of the left shoe. Ignignokt and Err are painted on the heels to keep the show’s agitators separate from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I am a big fan of the show and these shoes live up to my expectations.

  • New Balance WRC576B

    New Balance WRC576B - #1

    If you are looking for a shoe for the cold weather ahead, here’s another option from New Balance. The WRC576B takes the classic shape of the 576 sneaker and combines it with a hiking boot. The result is very nice with three different colorways to choose from.

    Personally, I prefer the dark color pictured above, which has some red details and traditional hiking boot laces. There’s another dark model which uses tan around the toe and on the “N”. The third version is the one that’s a little more offbeat. The black shoe is highighted with light blue details, pink laces and touches of yellow. All the shoes feature a soft shearling lining that’s perfect for winter. These boots have are available now at Mita. Via High Snobiety.

    Emerica Shifter Skate Boot - #1

    These skater boots will look good during and after a skate session. They feature a full black leather upper complemented with a black sole. The Emerica Shifter boot is slick and sophisticated, while being versatile enough to wear as a leisure boot.

    If you like things simple and black, these are a good choice. You can get them now at Caliroots and other shops that carry the Emerica line. However, they don’t come cheap – the Caliroots price translates into $231.24 USD. Via Hypebeast.

  • Obama Force One By Jimm Lasser
    By on September 9th, 2008 | No Comments Comments


    Image source: here.

    This pair of sneakers has Obama’s pictures on their soles and is specially meant for Obama fans. Jimm Lasser started his exhibition in New York on September 4. The Democratic Sen. Barack Obama was the theme of Lasser’s exhibition. The picture shows the Obama Force One. The Air Force One model was used to create this. Jim Lasser is a clever artist.

    It looks like a special pair of outsoles were designed with Obama graphics and then attached to the regular Air Force 1 shoes. The right outsole has an engraved half portrait picture of Obama. The left outsole has the side profile of Obama. A slogan is included in the lower half of the sole. The sentence reads – “A black man runs and a nation is behind him.” The capital A forms the necktie of Obama’s figure.

    The sneaker’s upper is in all white but it can be customized according to the wearer’s desires. The main distinguishing feature that Lasser wanted to show would be the outsole. When the outsole was stained with ink, the portrait showed up handsomely. Now we need to look for Nike sneakers that feature McCain.

  • De La Soul x Nike Pt 2
    By on September 9th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Back in 2005 De La Soul collabarated with Nike SB to create their own shoes. A Dunk Low which released in October and a Dunk High that released in November, both in tribute to their 1989 album 3 Feet High and rising. Both of those shoes are one of the most Nike SBs to hit the market.

    De La Soul was seen on Karmaloop TV telling viewers that theyll be linking up with Nike again to create a Dunk. They didnt specify if the project was with Nike SB but given their track record its safe to make that assumption. Their upcomingproject pays homage to their 2001 album AOI: Bionix, where all the members are dressed up in metallic silver astronut suits.According to the info provided these were originally set to release in 2006 but were scrapped and are now rumored to release in 2009. Stay tuned for more info.

    Back in April, in an event hosted by Jordan Brands Gentry Humphrey, a
    preview of the Air Jordan XX3 Motorsports was displayed for the
    audience. The preview image calls out Michael Jordan’s “new love” since
    retiring from basketball and that’s motorsports. There’s an actual Jordan Motorsports team from Jordan and Suzuki. Look for it to release November 28th, 2008.
