Nike Auto Force 180 – Black/Hyper Blue/Lime
Since it’s introduction earlier this year the Nike Auto Force 180 has gained quite the following. The hybrid design, which fuses the Nike Air Force 180 with a vulcanized sole unit is one of the more popular Nike designs making use of what once was something you only found on skateboarding sneakers. The shoes have so far been released in a few colorways, with a couple more hitting retailers between November and December before the year comes to an end.
The latest to surface at distributors is this Nike Auto Force 180 – Black/Hyper Blue/White/Lime. The base of the upper is entirely black and constructed from a combo of nubuck and patent leather. Accents of hype blue appear around the lace eyelets and on the Nike Swoosh while lime highlights the 180 stitching on the tongue, the Force stitching on the strap and the pinstripe resting right above the white vulcanized sole unit.

Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Joker’ Customs
From time to time we come through with a pair of custom sneakers which usually spark plenty of comments on Twitter. Over the course of our time online we have featured some pretty wild custom designs. However its sometime the finer lesser things which make the biggest hit.
What we have here is simplicity at its finest when it comes to customs. Well, i dont really want to call it simple, cause that its not, but there is no hand painting going on, no premium fabrics being added, and in all reality nothing was even done to the upper of the shoes. In what some may consider a risk, and a very expensive risk at that, the sole units from the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Cactus’ and the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Eggplant’ have been swapped with each other for the sole purpose of redesigning the Eggplant Foamposites with cactus outsole to resemble a Joker inspired colorway. Not wanting a clear Foamposite outsole go to waste, and now having a Cactus Foamposite without its cactus sole unit the translucent outsole was glued on. As i said, a sole swap is not the easiest of tasks as a lot can go wrong which can ruin your sneakers for good but when handled correctly the swap can be such an improvement. The Eggplant Foams are a must have in their own state among collectors, including myself, but i can honestly say i would much watch have these Joker Foamposites.

If you are interested in doing a Foamposite sole swap though please contact the crew at Sole Seeker with more info. Please refer to this article for their reference.
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.

Nike Air Max ST ‘Black Safari’
Here’s further proof to the whole ‘all black everything’ look making a heavy comeback. Adding to a list of recently released all black sneakers comes the the Air Max ST ‘Black Safari’. The safari pattern has become a major addition the the Air Max lineup and its no surprise really that Nike has come through with an entirely black safari Air Max. Besides for the tonal safari pattern adding as much contrast as possible to an all black shoe, Nike constructed the upper from a combo of mesh and sued with rubber on the Nike Swoosh.
According to HighSnobiety the Nike Air Max ST ‘Black Safari’ is slated for a December 2009 release as a quickstrike. If we hear any further details about the sneakers we will be sure to keep you in the loop.
Kay Yow Cancer Fund x Nike Hyperize
The Kay Yow and the WBCA (Womens Basketball Coaches Association) are back with another collaboration with Nike to benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The Kay Yow Cancer Fund is a charitable organization, directed by Kay Yow and the WBCA, committed to being a part of finding an answer in the fight against womens cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved and unifying people for a common cause. For those not in the know, Kay Yow is womens basketball coach for North Carolina State University who is currently fighting breast cancer for her third time.
Earlier this year saw the release of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund x Nike Hyperdunk & Blue Chip both dressed in a pink/white color scheme that has become the staple colorway for breast cancer awareness. For their latest collaboration the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and the WBCA teamed up with Nike on a pair of the Nike Hyperize. The Hyperize uses a predominantly pink design just as the Hyperdunk did along with accents of white. The Kay Yow Cancer Fund logo appears in pink on the white tongue tag.
No exact release date for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund x Nike Hyperize has been released, however MarqueeSole happened to get their hands on a pair to provide us with some photos. Click here to check out the rest of the photos and stay tune for further release details.
