Nike Air Force One “Lucky” Customs
C2 Customs presents us with his latest custom sneaker dubbed “Lucky” which uses an Air Force One as a base. The order is a custom job done for C2s barber who goes by the nickname Lucky. Lucky put in an order to have a pair of Custom Air Force Ones designed with a theme that looks like he just kicked his feet through a puddle of fresh blood. Starting with an AF1 base that includes a satin liner and a 3m tongue C2 broke out the paints and went about adding a bold red blood splatter design to the front. Instead of using a blotchy and dripping blood design C2 added his own flair to the idea by giving the blood splatter more of a Tech Challenge look. There are even some very tiny spots added towards the heel of the sneaker to give it that authentic look, cause you know the blood wouldnt just end up on the front right? On the heel of the left sneaker C2 add the name Lucky in Old English font and on the left added his own tag. The Tech Challenge blood splatter design combined with the satin liner and 3m tongue included on the base makes me a hot pair of AF1 thats im sure Lucky was more then pleased with. You can always expect quality and original ideas from c2 Customs. Check out a few more shots after the jump.

Nike AF1 ‘Soul Glo Part 2′ Customs
Earlier this year in January we showed you a Soul Glo Nike Air Force One custom sneaker designed by TheStarscream from ISS. Today we present you part 2 of the Soul Glo customs. Since the original pair was designed and debuted on Sneaker Obsession tons of people had hit up TheStarscream asking him about the sneakers that he decided to go ahead and drop another pair with a different approach and colors. All the key elements from the first design are included besides the use of the Zebra pattern on the mid panels. This time around the mid panels were left plain and a pattern was added to the Nike Swoosh. You still have the Soul Glo logo on the right toe box along with the characters on the left. A few more alternate angles are pictured after the jump.
Nike AF1 ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Customs
These Nike Air Force Ones were designed by Sweatshop Clothing with a theme inspired after one of the most classic horror characters to ever hit the big screen. There have been Freddy and Jason custom sneakers in the past and even some Chucky customs, but one of the villains that Sweatshop Clothing never saw getting much love was Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. Therefore they decided to take matters into their own hands and give the Sawyer family some love on these Custom Air Force Ones. You can pretty much call these a test run, as a lot of new things were tried out for the first time on a pair of old beaters. Sweatshop Clothing already has plans for a new redesigned model using different materials and such. Theres a lot of details involved in these, such as blood splatter on the toe box and side panels, stitching all throughout the shoe and even a custom chainsaw design which replaces the Nike Swoosh. You can check out a grip of more pictures after the jump including shots of the original base, the concept artwork which led up to the customs and plenty of pictures of the final design.
Nike AF1 ‘Iron Man’ Customs w/glow in the dark features
Since the Iron Man movie dropped in theaters a few sneaker customizers have taken attempts at creating an Iron Man inspired custom. Here we have a Custom Air Force One which is the work of Sole Junkie. Using an all white AF1 as a base, Sole Junkie included a picture of Iron Man on the side panel of each sneaker. The left sneaker, shown above, has a close up as Iron Man only showing his head, as the right sneaker shows Iron Man set back a lil bit with more of his body armor showing in the image. The render of Iron Man is amazing but thats no surprise really as Sole Junkie has always executed well designed portraits. By the way, thats REAL 23K gold which was used on Iron Man. What you dont notice at first glance, and will never notice during daylight hours, is that there are glow in the dark features on both shoes. When the lights go off or the sun does down, the eyes and parts of Iron Man’s body armor take on a neon green glow. Besides the Iron Man designs Sole Junkie finished up the rest of the shoes in a matching red and black colorway. Hit up Sole Junkie on his Myspace page here and make sure you check out the rest of the pictures after the jump to see them glow in the dark.

DJ Clark Kent – Nike One’s 112 Pack – Air Force One Preview
As most of you know the DJ Clark Kent Nike ‘One’s Pack’, also known as the ‘112 Pack’ is set to release in July. In the past we have seen nothing but very blurry photos of the 3 sneakers in the 112 Pack which gave you no detail view what so ever. The other day DJ Clark Kent stopped by World NYC and gave the crew a little preview of the Nike Air Force Ones which are part of the pack. Besides the elephant skin leather on the heel which we all recognize from the Air Jordan 3’s, theres a lot more then what meets the eye at first glance. The whole gray area is 3M which shines enough to blind whoever dares to shine a light in your path. A picture with light hitting the 3M is after the jump. As of right now these are the only clear pictures we have of whats to come from the 112 Pack.
If you cant wait until July and you live around the Brooklyn area, head out to Vinnies Styles tomorrow, June 7th, cause DJ Clark Kent himself will be in-store giving away 30 pairs (starting at 11am) before the official July release date. There is only 2 small catches, you MUST buy a matching tee shirt which will be released and the sneakers must fit you, so its first come first serve. Get down there NOW and start the wait if you even want a chance at getting a pair in your size for the price of a shirt. Remember to check out the 3M shot after the jump and stayed tuned as we wait for photos of the other 2 sneakers part of the pack to surface.
