Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro–Green–Red–BlackSample

Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro   Green   Red   Black   Sample

While the public outrage is likely to be substantially smaller than the outcry for fat tongues, the Nike SB Dunk Mid shedding its strap is sure to frustrate some fans.While the public outrage is likely to be substantially smaller than the outcry for fat tongues, the Nike SB Dunk Mid shedding its strap is sure to frustrate some fans.

While the public outrage is likely to be substantially smaller than the outcry for fat tongues, the Nike SB Dunk Mid shedding its strap is sure to frustrate some fans.They’d argue that the strap is integral to the Mid’s identity, and would probably be quick to cop these joints if they ever hit retail.  The Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro pictured above has a vague resemblance to a Considered Design Mid from this spring thanks to a mix of olive-ish green, red and black, but a totally different colorblocking scheme and faux-croc Swooshes give these their own identity.

These are set for a possible summer release, but you can grab this sample size 9 pair from dashsports33 on eBay.Possibly one of the very last strapped SB Dunk Mids, you can grab a sample pair in US men’s size 9 from dashsports on eBay.

Nike Air Yeezy ‘Zen Grey’–Washed!

Nike Air Yeezy Zen Grey   Washed!

The Nike Air Yeezy  is one shoe that will be included in “Top 5 of the Decade” lists across the board. All three colorways of the Yeezy are going up in resale price by the day, so some owners are growing more and more hesitant to wear their crispy pairs, and we can understand – the shoe is tough to find and deadstock pairs swim above $700.If you are interested in getting your hands on a pair of Nike Air Yeezy’s that ship has sailed quite a few times and your best bet is eBay.

One seller is offering up a pair of size 11′s with a catch. The uber-exclusive sneaker has been put thru a cycle in the washing machine  and while at first glance nothing seems to be wrong with them closer inspection shoes the front mudguard is missing the Y patterned design and now has simply become a grey suede.But, for those who treat their gems and grails like GR Dunks and wear ‘em without regarding for the surroundings, there’s a way to give your beat Yeezy’s a second life – but with a catch. Here’s a look at a pair of the Nike Air Yeezy in Zen Grey  that had been put through a cycle in a washing machine; the shoes itself don’t look very used but the owner might’ve felt a wash was necessary – and the results are pretty good. However, the toe-box lost the all-over embossed Y texture and is now a uniform grey-suede finish.

Still need a pair in your life but don’t want to shell out the dough? RIF  out in Los Angeles has this exact pair for sale at a reasonable price of $354, so take a look at the gallery after the jump if you’re considering buying them or if you want to see the results.While ultimately this probably makes them worth a little less it is still pretty cool to see.

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Paul Nguyen

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Paul Nguyen

That’s a big reason why the majority of Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke productions could be described as over-the-top.The Nike Air Force 1 has a global presence. As if you needed proof, these Bespokes were created by Australian Paul Nguyen and just made their way to his place Down Under.

Red Kevlar covers the majority of the sneaker, appearing on the toe, midfoot, heel and Swoosh. Meanwhile, black denim fills in the toe box and quarter panel. The heel and tongue tag gets hits of silver leather and a clear midsole sits on top of a black outsole.One might choose to “get his money’s worth” by using every available option of the Bespoke customization process, but this latest Bespoke, created by Paul Nguyen of Australia, manages to contain the materials and colors into one great package. The upper features a combination of red kevlar and black denim and a metallic silver heeltab, and the overall composition of the shoe says that Nguyen managed to exploit the Bespoke options and create a controlled shoe at the same time.

Check out this latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke after the jump and chime in with your opinions.Paul let the materials do the work instead of using too many loud colors, and the result is this clean and simple, but still very original, Air Force 1.

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Giuseppe Degennaro

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Giuseppe Degennaro

The last Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke we showed you combined rugged and high-tech, as Paul Nguyen designed is Bespoke adroitly with Kevlar and denim.The next Air Force 1 Bespoke comes to us from designer Giuseppe Degennaro. The last three Bespoke designs we’ve featured here have had relatively simple looks.

However, Giuseppe threw caution to the wind when he crafted this pair. The upper boasts a mustard yellow toe, premium brown leather quarter panels, and croc skin on the heel. The Swoosh, tongue tag, and heel rand are burnt orange. Yellow once again hits the inner liner, tongue, Swoosh border, and heel tab branding. The midfoot lace panel is white, and is offset by a burgundy set of laces.This latest Bespoke is by an individual named Giuseppe Degennaro, and judging by his seemingly Italian roots, this Italian dress-shoe inspired pair isn’t much of a surprise. The front end combines two marigold tones of suede, brown leather on the center, and a glossy croc-skin on the heel. The 21 Mercer  Bespoke experience focuses on the particulars of the participant and it’s interesting to see the widely variety of individual tastes among sneakerheads.

Continue reading for a detailed look at this Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke and let us know if you think a dress-shoe approach or color-heavy approach is better for you.A translucent outsole sits atop a brown rubber outsole to the complete the look.

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Everlast – Part 2

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Everlast   Part 2

Here’s another high water mark for the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke program.  The second design from a dude called Everlast (no word on any relation to the House of Pain frontman) is so good, it might be one of the best shoes you see all fall.The last time we took at look at a Bespoke Air Force 1 design by Everlast, many readers gave the shoe positive feedback. Everlast must have felt that same way, as he’s back again with a new Bespoke design.

This pair features a tan canvas base with olive green suede wrapped around the heel. A burgundy and navy woven material wraps around the toe and works its way up the forefoot and midfoot. Olive green once again hits on the wax laces and Swoosh border. The Swoosh itself is white, matching the inner liner and midsole.What you’re looking at is an unprecedented blue/purple kevlar weave that looks something like organic chameleon paint thanks to the dusky mauve shade.  It’s a no-brainer to pair this dynamic material with a deep forest green, and there’s a nice helping of tan canvas to balance things out and keep the ‘natural’ vibe going.

Toss on a scored leather Swoosh to remind you that this is premium from top to bottom, and you’ve got one of the best complete looks at the possibilities from the Bespoke AF1 studio at 21 Mercer.Burgundy finishes off the look on the “AIR” logo and outsole. How do you think this pair stacks up to the original Everlast Bespoke?

Nike Dunk High Zoom – Dark Plum

Sneaker News first previewed this colorway of the canvas-uppered Nike Dunk High Zoom  in early July; featuring a tonal Dark Plum upper with matching midsole and a black bottom sole and inner liner, this Dunk features a canvas uppered material – not to be confused with the recent Maharam x Nike Dunk releases in similar maroon colorway.Since the winter games won’t feature any sports with traditional sneakers as part of the uniform, these two colorways make for a nice alternative for the fans.

Crooked Tongues  has a pre-order available for now with October being the ETA, so take an extra look after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for U.S. release info.

Nike Dunk High SB – Medium Grey – Varsity Red

6(1)

Blue and Red seems to be a popular colourway for Nike SB 2010; a patriotic red/white/blue colourway of the Nike Dunk Low SB is on the way, and the Quickstrike Nike Dunk High SB Oceanic Airlines inspired by the ABC Network hit “Lost” has blue and red in the spotlight.Used to be that every release of a Nike Dunk High SB was cause for celebration.

After all, you got maybe one a season -- and that's if you were lucky. Now? There's so many we can barely keep track.Here’s another Nike Dunk High SB that uses blue and red, but this time, they’re just the supporting actors. The all-grey upper is set of well with a contrasting varsity red swoosh and midsole, and the blue laces and bottom sole adds the finishing touch. Redundancy can be detrimental but there should be absolutely zero complaints about these three upcoming blue-and-red Dunk SBs.

This medium grey suede high (which bears a slight resemblance to the "Detroit Lions" release from a few years back) dropped at Maze, and we had no idea it was coming. Stay tuned and we’ll let you know about a release date.

Nike Dunk Low SB – Red – Royal Blue – White

2(2)(1)

The Nike Dunk Low SB is making a strong comeback in 2010 with a number of colourways utilizing basic color-blocking from the earlier Nike SB seasons.It appears to be a good season for Dunk SBs, as Nike has gone away from complicated concepts and outlandish colors to deliver some solid basics.

These red, white and blue lows (which are oddly similar to the Haitian flag) are a perfect example. Maybe just cop one pair and donate the cost of a second. Every little bit helps.Give it whatever nickname you’d like; Spiderman Dunk SB  Lows, Independence Day Dunk SB, yadda yadda yadda. Rising above any name given to these kicks is the fact that this Red, Royal Blue and White colourway is NICE. Check out the use of material, like that of the Nike Dunk Low SB J-Pack; suede on the toeguard and rear panel, leather on the toe and center.

If Nike SB has big expectations for 2010, these Dunk Lows will surely raise the bar. Check back with Sneaker News and we’ll let you know when these drop.These should be dropping very shortly.
