You Can Build Air Force Ones on NikeID

It's the truth. Throw together your very own pair of Nike Air Force One Low Premiums over at Nike ID for the low, low price of $275. I haven't done the calculations, but I'm sure there are at least thousands of unique possibilities between patent leather, premium grain leather, nubuck, metallic material, and all the colors for each of those. The "ID" part comes into play with a custom tag that you can get in gold or silver (which, in turn, matches the lace tips and locks). Word. So head on over and get to work!

Here are a couple of my creations... Not the freshest things on the face of the earth, but, well... Pretty damn fresh if you ask me!






Note: I don't know if you can actually buy the shoes that you design because I haven't personally tried (what can I say, I'm broke), but I don't really see why you shouldn't be able to.

Legitimate Freshness from Atmos and Nike?

It feels like it's been a long, long time since I've gotten excited about a Nike collaboration. Fortunately, it looks like this Nike X Atmos Dunk High just might bring the freshness I've been looking for. The colors are obviously insane, but it looks like they have the potential to come together very, very well. I think I'll reserve judgment until I see a picture of the entire shoe, but for now, I'm getting a little excited...

Adidas Stan Smith High - White Snake Skin

Now these are some LEGIT snake skin sneakers. Well... Not really "legit" as in "real," but as in "damn close to real-looking." Actually, I don't know if it's real or not! But it looks much more authentic than, say, any snake skin pattern Nike has used in the past decade... All that stuff is so synthetic and flat. These, though... They look like they're almost shedding! And with the subtle red accents on the sidewall and liner, these are looking fresh to death. I hope they make it past the "Sample" phase, and quickly!

What Would Big Baby Jesus Do?

This makes two ODB-themed YouTube videos in a row on this supposed fashion-oriented blog of mine. Oh well. This was just too good not to post.
