Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘756′ Customs
Revive Customs hits us up with another dope pair of custom sneakers, this time a pair of kicks created exclusively for Matt Murphy of Solefood NYC. The Air Force 1 Low has been dubbed 756 and was created to commemorate the moment Matt caught Barry Bond’s record breaking homerun baseball. Hence the 756 name.
The AF1 is very reminiscent of a baseball glove with a leather peanut butter colored upper and a waffle like pattern on the side-panels to resemble the “pockets” of a baseball glove. If that’s not enough for ya to bring out the baseball theme Revive added in some “X” stitching details along the toe and along the top of the tongue which of course is inspired by the stitching on a baseball. Paying tribute to Bond’s home run record is the number 756 on the side of the heel on both sneakers.

Nike Air Force 1 Low – Grey/Dark Navy
When i posted up images of the Nike Blazer Mid – Grey/Dark Navy i had mentioned how i would hate coming across a dope looking colorway on a pair of sneakers only produced in GS sizes. That was the the case with the Blazers, however, Nike has come through with these Air Force 1 Lows sporting the same color scheme for the guys, which makes up for the Blazers since i happen to be a bigger AF1 guy.
The AF1 Low consists of a gray leather on the frontal and heel with grey nubuck on the toe-box and side panels. Dark navy is applied to the Nike Swoosh and outsole with a pair of white shoe laces finishing up these clean AF1’s. If you happen to be a NY Yankees fan these would be a dope pair to scoop up to go with that Yankees Away Jersey you have sitting in the closet.
If your interested hit up Sneaker Bistro now to get a pair.
Show Us Your Beaters!!
“What kicks are you rocking today” is the most popular question among sneakerheads over the web today. We all take an interest in what one another is wearing and usually take pride in showing off the crisp kicks we have decided to rock out in for the day.
Along with those crispy clean kicks we want to see those beaters too. And i dont mean those shoes which some people call beaters which are still in mint condition, ya know the ones, a pair of average sneakers which you wear on random nights out when you dont wanna wear a pair of fresh Jays or whatever it may be. I mean your real beaters, the kicks which are on the verge of busting at the seams, or have already busted at the seams.
I for one go hard in all my sneakers, no matter what they be or how limited they are. Like the Jones Beach Air Force 1’s i have on today. They may still be crispy clean now but sooner or later these puppies will be hurting and begin to be laid to rest.
My most beat up sneakers have to be these classic Air Force 1 Jewels, or possibly a pair of Trainer SC’s which i will get to some other time. The AF1 Jewels are some of my favorite sneakers and day after day im always wishing for Nike to bring em back and mass produce them again. What i love about my beaters is that they all have stories to tell. Whether they be stories about balling on the court, running from the cops during my youth, getting smashed at keg parties in the middle of the woods during rain nights, or simply just messin around and having fun. Just look at these filthy things. The support in the shoe is shot and they are scuffed up to no need, even the red is scuffed off a lot of the Swoosh. Look at the yellow mid-sole too, needless to say these bad boys have been around for quite some time. Jason Markk or the JGoods Restoration Kit cant even do these things justice. You can slide right into these like you can slide right into a loose…Actually, let me finish that sentence right there since this is a kid friendly site.
Click here to check out a few pictures of just how beat these AF1’s are and hit us up on Twitter with some shots of the most beat up sneakers you have in your collection. Lets see how hard you have gone in some of your sneakers and whether or not you have kept them or trashed them.
Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 ‘Space Jam’
During a recent visit to New York City Bun B swung on by Nike Sportswears on 21 Mercer Street to design his latest Bespoke Air Force 1. For his design inspiration Bun B took cues from the Air Jordan 11 ‘Space Jam’. The sneaker is simply yet clean, which is always appreciated aslong as its done right. Which these sure are.
For the upper of the Space Jam Bespoke Air Force 1’s Bun used a combo of mesh and patent leather with the toe-box and frontal finished in black patent leather and the mid section, Nike Swoosh and heel panels done up in black mesh. Making sure to add a touch of blue taken from the Jumpman logo on the Space Jam Bun B had the heel tab constructed of black patent leather with blue contrast stitching and had solo blue lace eyelets added to the top of the lace panels. As we all know the Space Jams have a white mid-sole with an icey outsole, one of the key elements to the sneakers we all love so much, so Bun finished up the sneakers with just that.

Undefeated x LIVESTRONG x Nike Air Force 1 Low Supreme Preview
Nike and Lance Armstrong’s LIVESTRONG foundation have been partnering up for quite some time now in an ongoing series to benefit the LIVESTRONG foundation. The two have released everything from apperal to sneakers, with the shoes attracting somewhat more attention then the rest of the collection.
Thanks to a scan provided by Hypebeast from a recently issued Sneaker Freaker magazine we have a little peek at an Air Force 1 Low Supreme which will continue the string of LIVESTRONG models. According to reports this LIVESTRONG Air Force 1 has been designed along with Eddie Cruz and the guys over at Undefeated. The shoes consist of your usual black and yellow LIVESTRONG colorway and feature a unique looking pattern on 3/4ths of the upper similar to a pattern which appeared on a previous Undefeated x Nike Air Force 1 collaboration. Laser etching on the midsoles read “ONYOURBIKEKID”.
No official release date has been announced at this time and as it stands alls we have is this preview shot. Keep it posted for further details.
Bespoke Air Force 1 Designed by Mike Capanni
The crew down at 21 Mercer St have presented us with some images of yet another Bespoke Air Force 1. Despite the economy being in slump it hasnt seem to slow down the production of the Bespoke AF1’s which cost a nicely little penny to say the least. One of the more recent pairs to be finished has been designed by Mike Capanni who took the opportunity to design his Bespoke Air Force 1 with entirely with a safari print. The toe-box, mid-panels and heel panels have a light grey safari print, while the frontal, lace panels, Nike Swoosh and heel spine have a dark grey/green safari print. A grey/red safari print has been added to the heel tab and tongue tag. Sitting below the bold upper is a neon green MX sole unit.
