Nike Air Force 1 x Lebron James Sample
Heres a little something different for all you Lebron James and Air Force 1 fans out there. These Nike Air Force 1 x Lebron James samples popped up on Ebay the other day for a price of $599. As you can see the sneakers are constructed of a white perforated toe-box, frontal and mid-panels with premium white leather on the heel and accents of maroon found on the tongue, laces, liner/insoles and Lebron James branding on the heel tab. Theres also touches of gold on the tongue tags and on the insoles where one carrys the Nike Air Force One logo while the other has the Lebron James logo.
Right off the bat these would appear to us as a Nike Air Force One x Lebron James 1World Project due to the fact they have the translucent midsole and the Nike Air Max air pocket on the heel. However, that information has not been confirmed at this time. Right now its just a sample Air Force One x Lebron James with a colorscheme obviously inspried by Lebron James’ NBA team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. If you can swing the $599 check em out on Ebay before they are gone.
Marok x Nike Air Force One - 1World Project
We recently took a look at the Michael Lau x Nike “Air Crazy Force 1″ from the Nike 1World Project (set to release November 29th) but already we have some shots on the next 1World AF1. For the next round Nike teamed up with Marok, a well known, and famous, publisher/artist based in Berlin, Germany. Marok and Nike constructed the sneakers with a interesting design which includes the use of different materials and textures in a purple and silver color scheme with a translucent air pocket on the heel.
Official release date from what we hear calls for December 13th, 2008. I think it goes without saying that they will of course be a limited run. Keep it locked for further updates and pictures as they become available. Via: High Snobiety
Nike Air Force 1 - Lebron James Customs
Van, who you all know as the creator of the Barack Obama Air Force 1 Custom Sneakers just hit me up via email with some shots of a fresh new pair of custom sneakers. Inspired by Lebron James, Van took a pair of AF1s and gave them a King James treatment with Lebron branding and a nice detailed custom box which features a portrait of Lebron James wearing the Team USA jersey with an American flag over his shoulders. Next to him is the Lebron logo in white. The highlight of these sneakers though in my opinion is the design of Lebron James across the heel wearing the Cavs jersey with his arms spread out, sort of like the old Air Jordan ads where Jordan shows his armspan.
Hit the jump to check out more detailed pictures and make sure you catch all the little details such as “I am” printed on the front of one sneaker and “Legend” printed on the other, the custom tongue tags and the Lebron James branding throughout.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium - Stealth / White / Scenery Green
Heres a look at a new pair of Nike Air Force 1 Low Premiums which we believe to be releasing sometime in 2009. Dressed in a stealth/white/scenery green colorway the AF1 includes some nice details which we havent seen done all that often on to many sneakers. This Air Force 1 Premium includes the use of a cement pattern on the toebox and frontal which Nike did in an embossed design rather then the engraved design found on Jordans and other Nike sneakers. Besides for that the Nike Swoosh was covered in white and the rest of the upper in Stealth grey. The mid-sole and sole were both finished in Scenery Green along with the Nike branding on the tongue and heel tab. While we dont have an exact release date for these just yet we do believe they will release in 2009, we will try and keep you updated on that though. Follow the jump for some more pictures.

Michael Lau x Nike 1World ‘Air Crazy Force 1′ - Detailed Pictures
The other day we took a look at some preview pictures for the Michael Lau x Nike 1World “Air Crazy Force 1″ and now we have some detailed images to show you thanks to Kix-Files. The design behind the Air Crazy Force 1 by Michael Lau is actually a pretty crazy and detailed sneaker which pays respect to the AF1 in general. The upper is made of a white quilted fabric with scrawl marks on the heel which add up to a total of 25 to repersent 25yrs of the Air Force One. Lace tags are also included which displays “crazy” on the left sneaker, and “smiles” on the right paying homage to Michaels “Crazy Smiles” production series. Gold stitching and details are found through the sneaker from the tongue tags to the insole to the lining.
The Air Crazy Force 1 comes in a box set which includes a newly designed “Crazy Michael” vinyl toy to go along with the sneakers. The vinyl toy is even spotted wearing the Air Crazy Force 1. Hit the jump to check out more pictures of the sneakers including shots from Michael Gallery which appears to be all set up and ready to go for the exhibition Michael Lau will hold November 29th - 30th to show off the sneakers and the vinyl toy.

Nike Sportswear x DJ Clark Kent - ‘Black Friday’ Air Force 1
In honor of Black Friday, which is November 28th, DJ Clark Kent got together with Nike Sportswear to work on a collaborating including an Air Force One. What is known as the ‘Black Friday Air Force 1′ appears to have a blacked out design along with custom insoles, one which says Black and the other which says Friday. Since majority of the preview is blacked out its really hard to tell which fabrics DJ Clark Kent used on the upper besides for black premium leather. We do however believe Clark Kent constructed these Black Friday Air Force 1s with more then just leather since he is quoted as saying “I went to the fabric library, picked the prime suspects and went to work on the design”.
Nike Sportswear will officially release the DJ Clark Kent Black Friday Air Force 1 on November 28th starting a 4am. Later in the day the Black Friday AF1 will also be released at Concepts in Boston and Shoe Gallery in Miami. DJ Clark Kent will also be making an appearance at each shop to accompany the release of the sneakers. No word on a retail price at this time. If you want a chance at getting these bad boys you better pack up the gear and get ready for a few cold nights sleeping on the sidewalk outside the shop, specially for the NY and Boston folks. Miami peeps, enjoy the warmer weather as you wait it out. People like myself from NY will be standing in the frigid cold for a chance to scoop a pair up.
