Ice Cream Board Flip ‘The Sequel’ - Customs for Pharrell
When it comes to custom sneakers, Mache is a beast. The skills he brings to the table are amazing and hes been laying out some top notch designs for awhile now. You have seen a few of them featured here on Sneaker Obsession, such as the Playstation Air Force Ones, Kanye West Air Force Ones, Comic Book SB Dunks and many more. Back in May I showed you a pair of Ice Cream Board Flips which Mache created for Pharrell Williams and today i present to you ‘The Sequel’ from Mache for Pharrell. The key to the design was to use two of the more familiar graphics from the Ice Cream line (the Ice Cream Cone Face and the Running Dog) added with a little bit Mache’s own flavor thrown in there. The right sneaker features the Ice Cream Cone Face logo while the left sneaker carries the Running Dog logo. The detail Mache put into the Ice Cream Cone Face logo is unbelievable and looks great plastered across the side of the Board Flips. The Running Dog was done in blue and that as well is very smooth looking. Mache gives a lot of his graphics this 3D look which is awesome, makes everything seem like its about to jump out at you. The colorway is very vibrant too and seems to flow perfectly with the colors of the Ice Cream Cone logo and the Running Dog logo. I wouldnt expect anything less from Mache though as he can always produce something to get a crowd buzzing. You already know Pharrell was loving these since he hit Mache up for a sequel to the first pair. Check out more shots after the jump.

Ice Cream Board Flip ‘P’ Customs - Made for Pharrell
Skateboard P, otherwise known as Pharrell is shown above holding a pair of custom designed Ice Cream Board Flip IIs which were specially designed for him. Fellow sneakerhead Pharrell reached out to designer JGoods to work on this project and add yet another custom sneaker to his ever growing collection. Working with an Ice Cream Board Flip as a base isnt something JGoods is all that familiar with but being a man of many talents he was pretty confident he could get the job done. Plus, how do you say no to somebody like Pharrell when they reach out to you for a job like this? You dont, you just make it happen and get the job done, which JGoods clearly did here. Besides for the obvious green, black and white checker pattern JGoods added an ice cream design which is shown dripping down all around the top of the sneaker. You take notice to it all the way up the lace tab, around the ankle and out to the back on the heel. The dripping ice cream design also found its way to the top of the tongue too. Im sure Pharrell was more then pleased with the final results as JGoods put in a lot of time and effort to make them truly unique and clean for the hip hop mogul. These puppies cost Pharrell a whopping $1,100, but what do you expect for such a quality job like this. More pictures of all the details follow after the jump, check em out to see that dripping ice cream design up close.

Vans x Crooks & Castles
Heres a look at an upcoming Vans x Crooks & Castles collaboration on a pair of Vans sneakers which is sure to blow the minds of all the Crooks fans out there. Maybe not in a good way. It was rumored some time ago that there would be a collabo between the 2 company on a shoe but at the time pictures werent really afloat to confirm this. Well, earlier today Crooks and Castles released official pictures of a Gucci inspired colorway. The sneakers feature a black, red and green colorway laid out on a combo of premium leather and patent leather with a croc-print pattern on the heel in green and on the black patent leather lace tab. Check out that Crooks strap too. Crooks & Castles also states that there will be alternate colorway to be released as well. For more information or a glimpse of the sneakers in person visit the Crooks & Castles flagship store. More pictures after the jump.

The three flavors available for your choice are Strawberry, Banana and Blueberry. The little drops of butter are a nice touch too.

310 Motoring Nas Sneakers, The Disciple
After the huge success with their Hurricane sneaker by famous hip hop artist The Game, 310 decided to hook up with another fell known artist. Here you have The Disciple’s which are Nas’ signature sneaker by 310. Nas is known to have a sneaker obsession of his own, so its only right he did his own sneaker. He’s also been in the hip hop game for many many years, so it’s about time something came along his way which will make his name last longer. I’m feeling the shades of brown which were used in the design, can defiantly match up with a lot. The Disciple’s are a limited edition (so they say) so don’t delay on coppin your pair from somewhere. One place i know they are for sale is at Dr. Jays in NYC or online, i think i saw them from about 80-90 bucks.
