We have just pushed past the symbolic middle of the summer last week with Fourth of July celebrations. Atex Productions is celebrating the brave men and women who patrol America’s beaches with a pair of custom Nike Air Force Ones. These sneakers are dubbed the Lifeguards and bring together familiar images from the typical beach.

The toe boxes and Nike swooshes on the Lifeguards are painted blue to symbolize the vast waters patrolled by lifeguards. Atex added red crosses underneath the ocean blue swooshes to get the attention of swimmers, surfers and sand castle builders. There is a cool graphic on the heel that shows the lifeguard’s role as guardian over coastal waters.

Atex Productions has a MySpace page linked here where sneaker fans can check out custom projects as well as new music.

Universal Pictures has hooked up with Adidas to create the Hellboy II Stan Mid. This shoe features black patent leather with the red Hellboy graphic. These shoes are definitely a bold choice.

These sneakers feature lots of interesting details, such as lace jewels, Hellboy on the tongue and an engraved outersole. These shoes will release later this month and come in a special box. Look for them at select Adidas Original Stores soon. The movie, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, arrives in theatres July 11th. Via Hypebeast.
