The folks in the Innovation Kitchen at Nike have gotten together with Chi McBride, a true sneakerhead, to commemorate Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and his 800th win as a collegiate basketball coach with this 1 of 1 Nike Air Force 1. The shoes speak for themselves as they different than any other Air Force 1 we’ve seen and even the special box they come in is a 1 of 1 production. The box is made up of actual wooden basketball floor with various laser engravings and a specific emphasis on the 800th win for Coach K. Don’t expect to see these anywhere else but in Coach K’s closet.

The Nike Air Revaderchi has released the Air Revaderchi Supreme. The shoes will be on sale at a later date. This model of the shoe has brown and black on its colorway.

The shoe starts with a toe cap that is delineated by a double row of white machine stitches. The toe box is hemmed in with a surrounding panel. The actual upper surface of the toe box is a small segment that has perforations. The tongue and ankle collar appear to be the same piece of material. The front and midsection is separated by a side panel which acts like a mudguard too. There is a panel of special woven material in the center of the midsection. This is an interesting accent in the middle of the shoe. The base of the heel is reinforced by a black colored panel. A shoe strap is interlaced through this black segment.

The Nike Air Revaderchi design has a thick midsole at the base of the heel. The thick white layer View More Photos/Info

The last pair of sneakers posted by Illmatic Customs got some great responses from readers like you. I found another pair of splattered Nike Dunks posted at the designer’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The Purple Splatter Dunks feature a purple/white/green colorway that is more vibrant than the Umairican Dunks shown earlier this week. The purple background is dark enough to set off the bright white and neon green for viewers near and fear. The flecks of green and spots of white are placed to look like they are random; however, the overall effect shows that the designer knows exactly where every drop of paint is heading.

I am a big fan of the Purple Splatter Dunks and the work of Illmatic Customs. It is difficult for any designer to create a great shoe; Illmatic makes awesome sneakers without breaking a sweat. I look forward to seeing more work like the Purple Splatter Dunks from Illmatic in View More Photos/Info

Lupe Fiasco recently was fortunate enough to design a pair of Nike Air Force 1 iD’s and his point of inspiration was his label, Fall of Rome. The Air Force 1’s he used for his iD’s were a pair of AF1 Low’s, mixed with some premium leather, patent leather, and mixture of Black and Gold. The custom AF1 shoetag reads “IV” which also symbolizes his F.O.R. label and his name for this shoe, AFIV. No information on whether or not these will be released but as of right now they are limited to four pairs worldwide.

A few weeks back, we told you about the Lanvin high tops in their Fall/Winter 2008 collection. Now here’s another shoe from the collection that you may really like. This time it’s a low verison in black.

This sneaker features a combination of black suede and patent leather with a contrasting metallic silver toe cap. The highlight of these shoes is the hot blue zipper that has been placed along the lacing. Though the design is simple, the colors and textures of this shoe add a luxurious appeal.

These kicks don’t come cheap. They are price at £350.00 (over $600 USD) at Browns. Via High Snobiety.
