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”.

Nike Dunk High – Spring 2010 Preview
When Nike incorporates simple color schemes on its iconic Dunk High the outcome is usually always an eye catching pleasure, such as these three Nike Dunk High’s seen here which are said to be part of the Spring 2010 collection. The shoes make sure of a few different materials as well such as smooth leather, pebbled leather and nylon. Out of the the three colorups shown the orange/white version has got to be my personal fav.

Nike Dunk Low ‘Walking On Water’ Customs
Straight up, i am simply in love with these. Diversitile, the custom clothing company, was contacted by a friends who was looking for a pair of custom Dunks displaying his desire to portray his faith. He came to Diversitile with the idea to depict one of the greatest acts of faith on his feet, which is Peter walking on water in the Bible. Diversitile love the concept and after throwing some ideas the group started to ask themselves “Why not make our friend, walk on water himself?” So that is exactly what they did by designing the Dunk Low with a design of water on the bottom of the shoes to ensure that wherever he goes he is walking on water.
Along with being an innovative concept, Diversitile also tested a new technique on the Dunks. As you can see the soles are painted, which is usually a major no no in the customizing community. However Diversitile has utilized a new sealing method to protect the paint on the soles and prevent it from scratching away as it normal would if you were to paint the sole unit.

Nike Dunk Low ‘D.O.A.’ Customs
The all black everything look is slowly starting to make a comeback with a little help from artists such as Jay-Z who is consistently seen in the limelight rockin a black fit from head to toe. All black sneakers have even been on the rise lately when it comes to Nike releases.
Now the “all black everything” look is being carried over to the sneaker customizing community. One of the first to attack the all black everything look since its sudden rise is my friend Adam, also known as the Menace. Adam took a pair of Dunk Lows and created a pair of sneakers which he dubs the “D.O.A” Nike Dunks. The shoes feature a grip of various material in black such as suede, pebbled leather, patent leather and a textured snakeskin material. A black quilted lining ensure a snug and comfy fit. To make the all black Dunks pop without adding any secondary colors some 3M was used to outline the Nike Swoosh.
