  • Kente Cloth Air Force Ones
    By on January 10th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    Stand Out Soles created these custom Air Force Ones without providing his own model name. I was lucky enough to read the comments of one of the designer’s many fans who said that the pattern looks similar to kente cloth. Kente cloth is a multi-colored and patterned cloth that originates from Ghana. The Kente Cloth Air Force Ones look like the real thing without trampling on the symbolism of the ancient weaving style.

    The front of the toe box and the tongue are painted brown to match the small spaces between patterns on the rest of the shoe. While the patterns can be difficult to see in the photos below, it is clear that Stand Out Soles used yellow, olive green and other colors for a mosaic of earthy tones. The heel and the Velcro wrap on the collar are painted yellow to match one of the dominant colors in this kente cloth pattern.

  • Nike Sportswear Air Max 90 – April Releases
    By on January 9th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    These upcoming Sportswear Air Max 90 follows a color blocking pattern scheme seen a lot on recent Air Max 90s such as the tonal pack 90s or the latest women’s releases.But unlike those releases, this set of Air Max 90s features a gradient pattern on the mesh near the upper ankle. The gradient starts off dark the same color as the swoosh and fadesinto white as it reaches the back heel tab. In addition to the gradient, both feature a two-toned midsole.

    If the color ways are hard to choose from maybe the materials will help you pick a winner. The black on white pair are fully leather with a perforated toebox. The gradient on them fade from black to white and the unit around the air bubble and the bubble itself is also black.The green on grey pair are leather with a ‘honeycombed’ mesh toebox. So the gradient pattern on them goes from green to white. The unit around the air bubble is grey while the air bubble is green. Both of these will drop on April 1st. Via:SoleBlvd

The Americana Lo is part of the 60th Anniversary celebration of Adidas Originals. These originals releases feature the special insole which reads “60 Years of Soles and Stripes”.

    While most of the shoe is white, two of the Adidas stripes are blue and the other one is red. The Adidas Americana logo on the tongue is done in a white on blue color scheme. Multiple textures are used throughout the shoe so that the use of white doesn’t become too bland. If you want to cop a pair, set aside about $136 USD and pick them up at Colette.
