This colorway of the new Jordan Spizike is a European exclusive. The black nubuck shoes are accented with glossy black patent, along with Cactus and Violet touches. The pattern used on the toe area and heel give this shoe some flavor. And for added color, the Cactus is used on the outsole as well as the inner lining.

If you are looking for a unique shoe that is a little wild, while still being mostly black, this is a good choice. Via Marquee Sole.

Vans has done it again with another cool release. These Vans Syndicate Half Cabs dubbed the “S” Rancheros and are available in two colorways. The ranchero theme, which draws on a lot of culture from the southwestern part of the United States, is a theme not seen too often in sneakers.

Two color schemes are available at various Vans Syndicate retailers right now. You can pick up a pair of these kicks at Robust Flavor for $80.

The Nike Air Jordan Fusion 20 Navy is a special shoe as it is a hybrid. It is sold at Sole-Locker for $200 a pair.

The toe box is lined with horizontal lines. The start of the shoe lace has a lace lock with the label letters AF-1. The shoe lace is navy blue too. The shoe lace region is covered by a large flap of leather. This flap has very elaborate designs etched/ embossed on the leather. This flap is beautifully designed.

Around the ankle of the shoe, there is a shoe strap with a white buckle. There is a keychain hanging from the upper end of the shoe lacing. There is only one keychain per pair of shoes. The midsection of the sneaker can not be visible because of the large flap that covers it. The midsole has two layers. One is the dark brown layer and the bottom half is the white layer. The heel is formed by a white piece of leather. The inner lining of the shoe is covered with brown specks.

The outsole of the shoe is white colored. There is a concentric circle tread at the toe box and another one at the heel. This shoe looks good for both sexes.

Desp One created these custom Air Force Ones for a friend who loves dragons. The designer says that these shoes took two days but they look like they took much longer to complete. I found these pictures on Desp One’s blog on Customsnkr.com linked here.

I am a big fan of Desp One’s approach to designing these Air Force Ones without using the typical dragon image. The dragons drawn on both sides of the Dragon AF1s are detailed and use colors that are fairly subtle. The left shoe features an olive green dragon with yellow accents that is heading toward the toe. This dragon doesn’t know that he is about to make contact with the brown and gray dragon rounding the corner on the right shoe.

It would have been easy for Desp One to phone in these custom Air Force Ones with cheesy images of green dragons. His skills and desire to put out good products did not allow him to take the simplest path to the Dragon AF1s. These shoes are fantastic and I am sure his friend is rocking these shoes all around town.

Converse seems like it has been around forever. And comparatively, they have – as evidence by the fact that they are celebrating their 100th anniversary. To celebrate their hundred years of existence, Converse has been releasing a number of slick looking shoes in 2008.

Three models that are coming out in October are the Camping Hi, the Jack Purcell B-Generation and the Tassel Hi. For classic simplicity, the Camping Hi is a simple boot style that comes in brown or black canvas with leather details. For a little bit of funky fun, the Jack Purcell B-Generation is being released in two tartan/plaid colorways – red and blue. And the Tassel Hi comes is like an Allstar with a golf flap added at the toe. These will be available in off white or dark brown. Look for these at Converse retailers in October. Via High Snobiety.

Supra has been upping their level of creativity lately and this Supra NS Studded Skytop is yet more evidence. This sneaker features a unique look that is sure to garner some attention.

The pictured shoes feature an all black color scheme and a number of unusual designs. Perhaps the most unique aspect of this shoe is the use of studs. Shiny patent leather is also used throughout these kicks. If you wear leather jackets or if you are in the heavy metal scene, these Supra NS Studded Skytop shoes will be a good match.
