Nike Air Max 90 Hamburger
Nike Sportswear picked out 8 different artists/creatives/designers/photographers and gave them each 1 Nike Sportswear icon to interpret. Creative Olle Hemmendorff from Sweden was given the Nike Air Max 90 shoes to work with. Olle defiantly did some thinking outside the box when he created this Nike Air Max 90 Hamburger made exactly to look like a pair of Air Max’s. Yes, it is really edible too, for aslong as the food stays fresh of course. The hamburger is made up of 8 layers which includes buns, cheese, tomatoes, sauce, mean and more. I like how Olle cut the cheese (no pun intended) to do the Nike Swoosh and the sauce on the heel is brilliant. These as well as the designs from the 7 other artists/creatives and etc are on display at SneakersNStuff in Stockholm, Sweden.

MyAirShoes hates on Sneaker Obsession
I received a pretty interesting email today from a viewer by the name of Mark. Below is the actual email copied and pasted from the Sneaker Obsession inbox.
“What’s good Sneaker Obsession. Just want to let you guy’s know that I’m a daily viewer on the site and I love what you guy’s are doing here. I am also a reader on many other sneaker related blog’s as you can imagine any sneaker head would be. A few day’s ago i was on My Air Shoes and noticed abunch of customs which have been posted on your site before. I left a comment, as I have done on many other post’s before with something along the lines of “these are nice, I’ve seen them on sneaker obesession before”. Since I waste countless hours online I tend to follow comment’s and stuff just to see what people are talking about. I noticed that the comment I left which mentioned Sneaker Obsession got deleted, in 2 posts. I thought that was strange, since none of my comment’s were ever deleted before. Then I thought to myself, hey wait, maybe It’s cause of the fact I mentioned another site which they may not like. So I commented again, asking why my comment got deleted and If there was some sort of hate towards SO. Wouldn’t you know it my comment got deleted once again. It seems it My Air Shoes hate’s on Sneaker Obsession for some reason. Maybe you guy’s know of some reason or maybe It’s just a hater before a hater. It’s funny though cause if you look in they’re custom section you can see how the section almost follows your content, same custom’s posted in the same order. I thought that was sort of lame. I believe in giving props were props are due but hey that’s just me. To me it now seems like the people behind My Air Shoes are nothing but a bunch of lames and I can honestly say that’s the last time I will be visiting their site. I dont want to support haters. Keep up the good work with what you guy’s are doing here. Customizers know SO for helping them out so continue going strong and fu** hater ass sites like My Air Shoes and whoever else may follow during your journey. If you happened to read My Air Shoes I would suggest you stop visiting they’re site as well since they show hate towards you. I will forever always be a loyal reader on Sneaker Obsession and the rest of the blogs who aren’t scared to give props. Take care fellas, and females if their are any.”
Pretty interesting email to use here at Sneaker Obsession. Not have we once ever had a problem with My Air Shoes but from the sounds of it they have a problem with us so its pretty surprising to get something like this in the inbox. I dont really have much to say about the matter cause there are plenty of haters out there so you just gotta take things from where they come from. Its no surprise when somebody shows hates cause you know your always bound to across a few haters during your life. Thanks for taking the time to email us Mark and showing your interest in Sneaker Obsession, its people like you who we do this for.
