Nike Air Force 1 High ‘Reduce, Reuse, Play Dirty’ Customs
When it comes to sneaker customizers i have a lot of favorites in the game. Really to many to even begin to announce. What i will say though is Jester, owner of 3R Customs, is defiantly on that list of favorite customizers. His innovative designs and quality to attention are always superb which is why Jester has been featured on Sneaker Obsession numerous times with kicks such as the The Hundreds Nike Dunks, the Red Bombed Nike Blazers, the Chroma Nike Dunk Lows, and the infamous Back to the Future 2 Nike Dunks. Thats just to name a few too!
One of his latest designs is the Reduce, Reuse, Play Dirty Air Force 1 High. The design is an ode to one of Jesters favorite streetwear brands, and one of mine as well, Undefeated. The upper outer panels feature the “strikeout” camo and is constructed from recycled vinyl tote bags that the company uses to pack purchased product from their retail stores. A green Nike Swoosh slightly accents the grey/white/black upper. The inner panels are finished in komodo dragon skin which Jester had laying around from a previous pair of custom sneakers. A grey suede sockliner provides ultimate comfort. Jester says, “Inspiration comes from everyone and everywhere and one man’s bag may be another man’s treasure.”

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Ramon Cerda
Ramon Cerda is the latest consumer to have his Bespoke Air Force Ones displayed on the 21 Mercer Street blog. Ramon, being a NY native, looked to NYC for his inspiration on a design which he calls the “Rotten Apples”. The sneakers consist of a multitude of colors and fabrics which create a pair of Air Force Ones which look completely different on the outer side and inner side of the upper. The frontal of the sneakers consists of red patent leather with red nubuck on the toe-box with green nubuck on the lace panels. The mid-panels on the outer side of the upper feature red croc material while the mid-panels on the inner side of the upper consists of white patent leather. Brown suede is used for the heel panel on the outer side of the upper while white suede is used of the heel panel on the inner side of the upper. The Nike Swoosh’s are also different, with brown leather on the outer side and white leather on the inner side. Lastly is a translucent mid-sole with a red backing and a brown outsole.

Nike Air Force 1 Huarache ‘Hexachromes’ Customs
Our good friend Jon from JGoods presents us with some pictures us his latest creation done for a private buyer, the Air Force 1 Huarache ‘Hexachromes’. What may appear as a plain, simple pair of sneakers is actually a very detailed and time consuming piece. The front and mid half of the sneakers are left in their original state besides for a JGoods hit on the frontal. The heel section of the sneakers is where Jon really let the magic happen and the artistic abilities flow. The heel consists of a bright and colorful pixelated design which instantly attracts your attention. In total there are a total of 25 different colors, all of which Jon hand mixed. Oh yea, did we mention Jon also hand painted each pixel on the heel? No airbrushing here and taping off sections to paint numerous boxes at once. Each individually pixel (box) was painted with a brush, one by one. Check out those edges, smooth as hell!! Talk about a guy who defiantly puts in the work and dedication.

Nike Air Force 1 Low – Black/White/Red/Gum
Heres a look at a fresh new pair of Air Force 1 Lows which are expected to be released within the coming weeks as a November 2009 release. The AF1 sports a mixture of nothing much premium materials from top to bottom. The all black upper features smooth black leather on the toe-box and mid-panel with black textured leather on the frontal, lace panels and heel panel. Accenting the upper is a white patent leather Nike Swoosh and a red patent leather heel tab with white Nike branding. Throwing a little bit of more material in there Nike then added grey mesh to the tongue, white mesh to the inner lining and a 0.44 sticky gum outsole sitting below a white mid-sole.
We arent quite sure exactly when the sneakers will arrive at retailers but Hypebeast reports the AF1s are a November 2009 release so start hitting up your local Nike retailer within the coming weeks to check on availability. Click here to check out more detailed photos.
Nike Air Force 1 December 2009 Releases
We know you all love your Air Force Ones so when we caught previews of these two upcoming Air Force 1’s part of Nike’s Holiday 2009 lineup we couldnt hold out on keeping the photos from you. Shown here is a AF1 Mid and an AF1 Low, both of which sport neutral color schemes. The Mids yield a olive/khaki colorup while the lows consist of a grey/shadow colorway. Personally speaking im really digging the Mids, although the Lows are pretty hot too. Color choices like these goes to show you that you dont always need to use the brightest of colors to put together some dope kicks.
Watch for both these Air Force Ones to hit retailers later in the year in December 2009. Via: HighSnobiety
