Custom sneakers are a big thing here on Sneaker Obsession. Their something we started featuring way back when and it’s something we continue to feature each and every week. We have seen everything from kicks with hand painted designs and graphics to reconstructions stitched up with new fabric throughout the entire upper. No matter what is is with artists out there such as Mache, emmanueLabor, C2, THIRST, theMenance, Mizzee, Revive, JGoods and Sekure D, just to name a few, you can expect the final outcome to always be top notch and an original idea, sometimes one which may be completely out of the box.

In honor of 2009 and all the custom sneakers we posted throughout the year we have put together a list of our Top 20 Custom Sneakers of 2009 featuring 20 of our favorite customs featured on the site. Click here now to check out the sneakers and make your way through the included pages.

Air Jordan Fusion 13 White/Black – Available Now

Joe — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:59:25 +0000

Alongside the Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Rising Sun’ Jordan Brand has also just dropped the first colorway of the Air Jordan Fusion 13, the black/white/varsity red colorway. The Air Jordan 13 is one of my top 3 Jordan’s however the Air Jordan Fusion 13 just doesn’t do it for my particular tastes. Maybe this is cause i like my Jordans in their original state, unmodified. Even though we have noticed a lot of other people bashing the Fusion 13’s, and the whole Fusion collection in general, shops are still reporting rather good sales on the sneakers.

If your fan of the Jordan Force Fusion lineup and are looking to ante up on your collection you can get the Air Jordan Fusion 13 now at all Jordan Brand distributors.

Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Rising Sun’ – Available Now

Joe — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:58:49 +0000

As of 12am the Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Rising Sun’ has officially become available at Jordan Brand retailers throughout the nation. As many of you already know by now i’m sure there were a few issues with the Rising Sun which delayed the release. Japan was outraged at the fact Jordan Brand was using the iconic Rising Sun graphics on the insoles of the sneakers so therefore the release of the sneakers were delayed some pure white insoles could be shipped to the shops to replaced the originals. Those of you who picked up a pair early at select shops or online are some of the lucky few who probably have a pair with the Rising Sun graphics on the insoles.

If your still interested in the Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Rising Sun’ regardless of the fact the insoles have been changed you can get them now at your local Jordan Brand retailer or at one of the many spots online. They are available in sizes for men, big kigs, little kids, toddlers and infants.

The Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III emerges from the depths in a brand new colorway which is sure to catch a little more attention then the previously posted Black Zoom LeBron Soldier III. This version sports a cool grey nylon upper with a cool grey reptile like leather. White is used on the Nike Swoosh with maize stitching outlining the swoosh. The Lebron James branding as well as the inner lining are finished in maize and the tongue and the straps going over the laces are stitched up in a multi-colored pattern. Finally a very subtle speckle design is added to the white mid-sole.

This is the only major retailer i know of that is stocking the kicks at the moment. FootLocker and Eastbay currently dont have them listed online.

If your looking to grab yourself a pair of the Jordan Flight 45 head on over to FinishLine now where they are selling for $125 a pop.
