The Nike Zoom Sharkley has been one of Nike Basketball’s biggest hits of the summer. The shoe boasts everything one could possibly want: comfort from Zoom Air cushioning, unique design, familiar shape, and a sub-$100 price tag. A few special make-ups were released over the summer at the House of Hoops, but this pair was not in the mix. This “701″ Sharkley comes covered in 3M complimented by teal and aqua tones.

Other cosmetic interests include a splatter painted midsole that can be seen through the translucent teal outsole. On the back, the shoe has a large “701″ stitched on the heel tab, but I have a feeling this was a special make up for NikeTalk member sevenzro1 rather than giving a shout out to North Dakota.

Chrisco showed off his latest pair of custom sneakers at the Nike Talk post linked here. These custom Nike Dunks took Chrisco a long time to complete because they required extensive hand stitching, coloring and drying. The result of Chrisco’s hard work is a pair of great Nike Dunks that stand out from the competition.

Chrisco uses a psychedelic theme with tie dyed colors that run the spectrum from yellow and orange to green and blue. I was impressed by the smooth transition of colors as I looked from the outside of the right shoe to the outside of the left shoe. You can see the hard work put into these shoes by looking at the flawless stitching running along the toe box.

The Psychedelic Nike Dunks also feature a set of 3M reflective strips stitched into the heel and tongue. These strips along with the bountiful colors used by Chrisco can help the wearer stay safe while walking at night. While tie dyed shirts and other clothing may be a bit cliched, Chrisco adds a new spin to this design method with the Psychedelic Dunks.

Hot on the heels of releases by The Crystal Method, LCD Soundsystem and Aesop Rock, DJ/producer A-Trak joins forces with Nike to launch his debut record Running Man: Nike+ Original Run as the next release for the Nike+ Original Run Series. The inspiration behind the Running Man Dunk was the artwork for A-Trak’s debut album Running Man: Nike+ Original Run. A-Trak, Dust La Rock and Kesh agreed to base the shoe on the album’s white, blue and yellow color scheme, incorporating additional elements wherever possible. Also lifted from the album was the A-Man logo, which was lasered on to the shoe as a finishing touch.

He then joined NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, where he played until 1986. During his career, Jones played in one ABA All-Star Game and four NBA All-Star Games. He led the ABA in field goal percentage twice, and led the NBA in field goal percentage during the 1977-78 season. In 1983, Jones was selected as the very first NBA Sixth Man of the Year. these look shoes really nice, and i would really consider getting them. it is covered with silver,blue,and red. at the bottom features Robert Clyde “Bobby” Jones career stats.

Nike does a job creating shoes in honor of very important historic people. This time around they choose to honor the Armed Forces, And what a better way than with their own Air Force One (get it ?) . The Armed Forces Day 1 force one feature a sport red and white leather upper. Micro perforated leather graces the eye stay and heel white regular leather is used elsewhere.The heel tab, laces, out sole, and sock liner are obsidian while the missile and panel behind the swoosh are white which creates a nice but not overly done color placemet.

Back in May, these went on sale at the Navy Exchange for 69.99 and now a couple spots in Japan have them available for sale. So hurry up and rush over to Limited Edt before they‘re completely sold out.
