The highlight of NBA All-Star weekend is usually All-Star Saturday night and the slam dunk contest. This year was no exception as little Nate Robinson took on Dwight Howard in the finals in a David vs Goliath type of matchup.
Though the matchup seemed set up from the get-go with Dwight getting two 50’s in the first round, all eyes were on Nate Robinson in the final round as he wore his all green ensemble to take down Superman with his Kryptonite.
On Nate’s feet were the Nike Foamposite Lite shoes in a bright green “Kryptonate” PE colorway. I doubt these kicks will release to the public but they were fun to see anyhow.
Nike’s ACG has been in production for the past 20 years. ACG has a new colorway in red, grey and black. The Nike ACG Wildwood Comet Red is sold at Kix-Files for around $125 per pair.
The shoe starts with a white toe box that is perforated. The black mudguard surrounds the perimeter of the sneaker. The shoe lace holes are on grey panels. The white tongue has a triangle logo with “ACG” to show off its branding. The letters are embroidered on the tongue. The Nike swoosh is in bright red. The inner lining of the shoe is black. The midsole is bi-colored with light grey and white layers. The outsole is black. The ACG brand logo is found on the white layer of the midsole. The heel is covered in grey leather. Over this, the back tab of black leather is attached.
The choice of neutral colors suits this season of spring. The bright red makes a bold statement. There is a balance of neutral and bright colors. These shoes would look good in a wide variety of situations. One pair of good kicks can carry you around without having to fuss about changing footwear. View More Photos/Info
Take a look at these colorful kicks from Converse. This Jams pack is jammed full of lively colors and adventurous schemes. The Jams have been popular in years past and this 2009 version could once again become a hit. You can pick up a pair at St. Alfred.
The “Jams” logo is featured both on the tongue and on the midsole. Overall, the only part of these sneakers that aren’t bright and lively is the mostly white midsole. These Converse kicks are available both in low and mid editions and four different colorways – all featuring countless colors. Via High Snobiety.
I wrote about the third generation of Jason Nike Dunks by Mizzee Customs in yesterday’s post. The designer went back to the beginning of the story line to create this final version. If you like what you see, you can get in touch with Mizzee Customs at [email protected] to get your own hot customs.
The premise of the Jason Dunks 4.0 is that Jason Voorhees is chasing after a teenage girl in the forest. We see the potential victim of Jason’s murderous rage hiding behind some foliage on the outside right shoe and inside left shoe. When we take a look at the interior of the right shoe, we see Jason emerging from the darkness to strike his prey. The outside of the left shoe was painted to say “Friday the 13th” to honor the classic horror flick.
On the Jason Dunks 3.0, Mizzee Customs spared the color to focus on the gruesome details of Jason’s latest attack. The fourth and final installment in the Friday the 13th series by Mizzee takes this simple use of color to the next level. The designer’s use of red on View More Photos/Info
This Nike Air Penny 3 is in white and royal blue colorway. This shoe will be released in March 2009. This shoe was made in honor of Penny. Penny has been sidelined due to injury but not forgotten by Nike. This Nike Penny 3 is meant to be a classic. The cost of this Nike Air Penny 3 is $155 and slightly below the price of the other Penny shoes. You can look for these shoes at the usual Nike retailers.
The toe box joins with the rest of the shoe upper. There are about 4 rows of perforations all neatly arranged. The white shoe lace contrasts with the black tongue. The shoe lace is a thick string that matches with the look of this shoe. At the tip of the tongue, there is a tab hook. This feature is repeated at the back tab of the shoe. The royal blue portion covers approximately half of the shoe. The midsole almost disappears for the center of the shoe while the heel has a prominent midsole. The midsole of the heel has a transparent section that showcases the Nike Air technology. I like the royal blue color used in this shoe. The overall package looks good. (Image) View More Photos/Info
Mizzee Customs was deluged with requests to recreate previous versions of the Jason Nike Dunks ever since they dropped in October. The designer’s detailed representations of the Friday the 13th villain have been popular among MAS readers since I posted the Jason Dunks 2.0 in December. You can get in touch with Mizzee Customs to learn more about the Jason Dunks series by emailing [email protected].
On the outside of the left shoe, Mizzee depicts Jason Voorhees slicing and dicing a teenager. The designer did a great job depicting the gory details of the act including blood spatter on Jason’s mask and gloves. The right shoe exterior features “Friday the 13th” in red with a nice fading effect as your eye moves to the midsole.
Mizzee used haunting images on the interiors of both shoes to create a sense of fear for the viewer. I particularly enjoy the repeated use of “Crystal Lake” on the left shoe to set the right tone. Unlike the full-color depiction of Jason chasing a teen on the Jason Dunks 2.0, Mizzee has View More Photos/Info
