  • Camo Dunk Lows from C2 Customs

    C2 Customs shows off the difference between the desert and the city with two pairs of custom Nike Dunk Lows pictured here. The “urban” camo shoes shown above feature an assortment of gray hues along with touches of kelly green. A green C2 stamp above the left shoe’s outsole shows Chris Hui’s desire to tie his name to quality custom sneakers.

    Sneaker fans who want to blend into the crowd of a desert town can wear the “desert” camo Dunk Lows shown below. I love these shoes because they feature a great blend of dark brown, tan and white that is more stark than the “urban” camos. The other reason I like these camo customs is that Hui did not force extraneous colors and touches within his design.

    I would purchase both pairs if I had the money for two pairs of custom sneakers because they fit different personalities. The top pair is perfect for a stroll down the city streets while the bottom pair would not be out of place in forests, deserts and other natural retreats.

  • Adidas Superstar Vin “Qing Ming Festival”

    Adidas Superstar Vin “Qing Ming Festival”

    As they have done previously, Adidas has made another shoe using an event or festival from a specific country. This time, China’s Qing Ming Festival is the central theme in this shoe. These kicks are another in the line of Adidas’ Flavor of the Month.

    Qing Ming means “clear and bright”. In April, they enjoy springtime and tend to the graves of departed ones. As it is very windy, kite flying is a very popular tradition as well.

    While these are surely not athletic shoes, the detail and color scheme make a very nice looking shoe. Most of the colors used are in the red family (fire engine red, maroon, pink). The shoes are also produced with a vintage look – intentionally aged by using an off white as a base color. If you are of Chinese heritage or you want to celebrate the Qing Ming Festival, considering copping a pair of these kicks.

    These are limited, but you can get them at Overkill and other shops for about $170 USD.

  • Cause Spring/Summer ‘08 “Lame” Sneaker

    Cause Spring/Summer ‘08 “Lame” Sneaker - #1

    Do you like Chuck Taylors? If so, these kicks by Cause should also interest you. Using Chuck Taylors as inspiration, Cause came out with a series of shoes that are simple yet somewhat unique.

    Each shoe, both the Hi and Lo, uses the same silhouette, but each is created just a little bit differently to give the sneaker its own look. For example, one of these shoes uses polka dots, while another shoe uses a zigzag design. While these are obviously not Chuck Taylors, the shoes do a good job of adding a little pizazz to the Chuck Taylor inspiration.My personal favorite is the basic grey version pictured above.

    You can get these right now from Flauge. Via Hypebeast.
