Nylon Magazine, a fashion magazine, has collaborated with Nike Sportswear to design a new line of Dunk Hi shoes. This pack of Dunk Hi uses nylon in the base material. So far, the sneaker has been issued in electric pink and green colors. The shoes will be shown in many fashion shows during the New York Fashion Week. Nylon Magazine has its offices in New York and is very popular there. Hence Nylon will show off their shoes in NY. The shoes will have an official release date later in 2009. The Nylon Nike Dunk Hi will be featured in Nylon magazine in their April 2009 issue. This is a special issue as it marks the 10th anniversary of Nylon magazine.

The green nylon upper has several seams to give definition to the shoe. The Nike swoosh and midsole are in a slightly darker shade of green. It looks good and does not distract from the uniform green color.

The pink Nylon shoe is identical to the green colored counterpart. Both colored shoes have their multicolored tags proclaiming “Nylon”. If you like pink and green, you will certainly get a kick out of these two View More Photos/Info

Designer Ilana Schwartz has joined the competitive field of sneaker art with her Starry Night Converse All Stars. The inspiration for Schwartz’s inaugural customs was the painting Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. Schwartz’s custom company, High Tied Customs, is available for paint jobs at reasonable rates by email at [email protected].

The Starry Night Converse All Stars represent the famous painting well via the magic of Schwartz’s design and painting skills. We see the deep blue sky, the fiery yellow stars and white/yellow clouds that van Gogh so expertly created years ago. Schwartz painted the silhouetted black crag along the length of the tongue to complete this legendary image.

High Tied Customs got off to a fast start with the Starry Night Converse All Stars. Schwartz took on one of the legends in art history without going overboard or interpreting Starry Night to death. If Ilana Schwartz can handle such weighty material, it will be exciting to see what lies in the future for High Tied View More Photos/Info

The Nike ACG Tallac is sold at Concepts. The shoe upper and tongue are covered in black background with white grid lines. The toe box is protected by a black leather sheath that is decorated by perforations and a small, pink Nike swoosh. The curved circumference is protected by a high mudguard.

The boot lace is electric blue with thin pink lines. Down the center of the tongue, there is a black strip of lace locks to ensure tight lacing.

The midsection of the shoe is reinforced with black strips of frame. These strips embrace the shoe and maintain the shape and fit. A pink colored shoe strap helps to lace down the shoe lace. This strap runs around the collar and down the side of the midsection. The collar of the ankle is in black netted fabric. This ensures comfort and a good fit at the ankle.

The heel has a sky blue back tab and the brand name “ACG” is printed in pink. The heel is the same extension as the netted fabric of the collar of the ankle.

The choice of colors is good. Electric blue and baby pink will pander to the whims of male and View More Photos/Info

Patent leather is a hot fashion statement in 2009 and these Gourmet kicks utilize patent leather extremely well. The leather was developed in Italy and the attention to detail is obvious. If you want to cop a pair of these kicks, hit up high-end footwear shops such as HUF, Fred Segal and Undefeated.

Two different shoes are being released by Gourmet using the patent leather – the Otto and the Sette. The Otto utilizes a black smooth patent, while the Sette features crinkled patent leather. Both shoes give off an aura of class and sophistication. Via High Snobiety.
