  • RubiKicks Nike Santa Cruise
    By on December 7th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    KickerBockerGlory Customs is a British designer who has begun creating custom sneakers recently. The designer’s portfolio features blasts of bright color on various Nike models. His latest work is a pair of custom Santa Cruises inspired by the Rubik’s cube. I found these photos at KickerBockerGlory’s website linked here.

    The designer started with a Rubik’s Cube pattern on the toe box. This pattern begins to melt away into free-flowing streams of color ranging from blue to green. As the colorful wave progresses to the middle panel, KickerBockerGlory allowed the color to trail off in a few flame licks to all-white on the heel.

    If you expected the heels to be completely devoid of color, the designer gives you a pleasant surprise. The heel tag has a spectrum of color starting with green at the top progressing through yellow, orange and red until View More Photos/Info

    Cassette Playa and Nike Blazer Hi have collaborated together to create this design. Nike has 36 years of sports heritage and it’s old traditions have combined with the new Cassette Playa.

This Cassette Playa Blazer will be available at the Nike Sportswear 1948 store at Bateman’s Row Shoreditch and some Nike Sportswear retailers.

    The line of Cassette Playa Blazer was initially designed for Carri’s Spring/Summer 2008 “Future Primitive” runway show. The theme of the show was inspired by Carri’s concept of “urban Shamanism.” This term refers to Carri’s way of thinking.Carri has transferred her opinions into her style for the season. For the new season that is shown above, Carri has taken up an idea from View More Photos/Info

  • Say Goodnight Babs Air Max 90s

    D@ Prince got a request from his boss to customize a pair of Air Max 90s based on a character from Tiny Toon Adventures. The designer used Babs Bunny, the counterpart to Buster Bunny, as his inspiration in these pink-dominated Air Maxes. I found these photos at D@ Prince’s latest Nike Talk post linked here.

    The yellow/purple/pink colorway on the Say Goodnight Babs Air Max 90s comes from the fur, bow and shirt colors adorned by Babs. D@ Prince created some texture to the pink side panels, making these shoes more dynamic. The purple rhinestones on the tongue are fantastic touches for these custom Nikes. The word “Sass” written in yellow paint on the heel seems to say it all for Babs Bunny.

    The words “Say Goodnight, Babs!” were uttered by Buster each episode with Babs responding, “Goodnight, Babs!” D@ Prince captures the View More Photos/Info
