Nike Air Yeezy — [Black Laser]


Here’s a quick shot of the Nike Air Yeezy with a black laser concept which resembles the Air Jordan Spizkes. The good people over at The Hundreds were lucky enough to get a picture when one of their members were attending a cookout during this past Labor Day weekend. None other then GLC was pictured wearing the never-seen-before colorway, hopefully Kanye will start shipping these out to stores something in the Spring of 2009.

FRIDAY THE 13TH TRAILER


Nike “808s & Heartbreak” Air Force 1 (One) Customs







Kaws’, a New York artist that once freelanced for Walt Disney, is best known in the sneaker culture for his contributions toward brands like Nike, Bathing Ape, and Vans, but in the purist of fusing art, hip hop and pop culture he teamed up with Kanye West to shock the masses. Kaws’ created this amazing art montage of colorful cartoon-like images (pictured to the left) for Kanye’s fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak

Inspired by Kaws’ 808s & Heartbreak artwork, Mache & emmanueLabor went to work creating a pair of custom sneakers that Kanye West himself would call Amazing! The shoe of choice was the classic all-white Nike Air Force 1…..with emmanueLabor tackling the front half while Mache held down the back. The same white/grey/black plaid fabric from Kanye’s suit can be found on the lacing area, toe, and sides with the tongues showing off some red broken hearts. The heel and Nike swoosh contrast nicely, flowing right into the colorful artwork that surrounded Kanye.

New Era x BBC “Wealth Club” Fitted Hat


BBC (Billionaire Boys Club), owned by hip hop artist/producer Pharrell Williams, is connecting with New Era to drop this “Wealth Club” Fitted Cap. It’s a simple black fitted featuring “Wealth Club” lettering stitched in white on the front, with a red convertible car in the middle. If you want to get your hands on this fitted, then be prepared to dig deep and drop $116….Yep! $116 for one fitted.

Supra Skytop “Zip It Up!” Custom Sneaker




Does anybody have the direct number to Supra Footwear?!? Because, Brad Douglas aka Red0004 just went bonkers customizing these Supra Skytops, transforming them into a work of art that would make the designers at Supra Footwear salivate if given a slight glimpse.
The sneaker started as a dull, lifeless all-white Skytop but evolved through the pain staking efforts of Douglas and his supply of various textures.
Douglas reconstructed the Skytop from the ground up, adding blue (teal) suede on the upper, black perforated leather along the sides/heel, and white stitching outlining the entire shoe. However, the highlight of the design is the gold zippers decorating the side panels and the matching gold eyelets along the ankle. The custom sneakers are topped off with a pair of black, waxed laces. If you’re a fan of Supra Footwear, then I ‘m sure you will agree that these should be on store shelves ASAP!
