The Life and Culture of Kicks

Custom Sneakers

Random Craziness – Sneakers with Sound System

(this is just crazy… tell me this not real)

Don’t have much to say here. This just can’t be a real sneaker. It. Just. Can’t.


DAMN those Reverse Denim Bespokes is nice!!!

Mayor and Bespoke REVERSE Denim

(totally worth the time and bucks to make it)

Its got style, its smooth, not too flashy but will easily be notice. That is what I like about good design. These are the best  pair of Bespokes I have seen in a while.

And there is a video too???

Oh and did anybody notice those “Air 2 The Throne” boxes in the back? Hmmmmm….

 

 


Custom Kicks And Half Naked Chicks… From Casey Customs

(so what do you think about the custom kicks in the pic?)

These are some interesting custom kicks. The company was founded in 2007 out of Philly. You can visit the site HERE if you want to take a look at what they got. They got music on the site so watch yourself if you are at work.

As for the face… well, I bumped into this while playing around with a app maker website while looking up flash screens for the app… I searched sneakers and this is what I got.

The young lady’s site is HERE and be careful cause its NOT SAFE FOR WORK… lets just put it that way lol

It may be an old post, but why should that stop anyone from adding to it? You have to be a NikeTalk member to post what you think would be a great colorway for the sneakers that legimlugero posted so join and get started (don’t forget to look me up too) .


Digging In The sneaker Crates: Custom Kicks – XBox Alpha Dunk

Custom Kicks - XBox Alpha Dunk

(now this is nice)

Man, cleaning up house for the new website debuting November 4th is helping to find all sorts of posts I didn’t make, but intended to… Well, here is another one. What is cool about this is that it actually glows in the dark (well specific parts of it deos).

This is just a  dope pair of kicks. When you get a reaction of 25 comments on a post like that, it means something. As seen on KicksOnFire.com on May 17th 2009. Just diggin in the sneaker crates…

MASTER Chief Custom Dunks by Daniel Reese

masterchief - Custom Dunks by Daniel Reese(wow)

This has to be one of the coolest freaking customs I have seen in a while. Once again Daniel Reese has done it again with a pair of kicks that you can purchase as customs. This basically makes your pair special beyond belief. You can get these for 180 euros (don’t have any idea how much that is in dollars… but I am going to guess that it is over $200)

Check out Daniel Reese’s blog for more customs and so forth HERE

Cool (but Geeky) Customs by Daniel Reese

Super Mario Custom Dunks

(holy customs Batman!… yes I know that was lame lol)

r2d2 custom dunks

(where is CP3O?)

Custom Sonic dunks(I loved this game and the cartoon that came after it on Saturday mornings)

TwitterDunk(now this I need http://www.twitter.com/snkrsandshoes)

Now this are some customse I csn get with. The Twitter and R2D2 customs are my favorites but belive me there are more than that made by Daniel Reese.

How much will one pair cost you? $220 dollars. I think its worth it so don’t be surprised if sometime next year you see a bunch of photos of my R2D2 customs lol (or maybe thos 8-Bit Megaman…. or those Superman… or maybe Squirtel (for my sister, not me lol)… or maybe these…)


OOOOoooookay: Nike Air Yeezy “Gay Fish” Customize Sneaker

Nike Air Yeezy South Park Gay Fish

(its yours for 1500 dollars… WHAT??? )

I don’t know what’s gayer… the price or that South Park cartoon featuring Kayne West. Lets face it that whole Fish*icks joke and this South Park episode will go down in history as one of the best. And then having Kayne West comment on it just made it more funny. This custom sneaker basically is a hallmark to the situation. A custom made sneaker size 12 for $!500 Dollars.

Its not for me… cause I don’t eat fishsticks… but for those who openly admit to eating fishsticks and know the Gordan Fisherman commercial by heart (trust the Gordon Fisherman LOL)


Custom Made: Hyperdunk in Air Jordan IV Black Red Colorway

Custom Hyperdunk by-image619

Why Wait Till 2015 For The McFly’s? Just Build It Yourself

(or you can just buy it from this dude)

(and no the auto laces don’t work lol)


From Nicekicks: Virtual Mo Gets Political… sort of… With Sneakers: Mo-Boma + MoCain

Oh you have the read the info on these sneakers. And just when you think you can’t take “no mo”, he hits you with the other side of things:

LOL @ Mo Cain!!! And the idea to put Mc Cain on “old people shoes” because that is a shoe of his time is just funny (and cool at the same time). If you are wondering who the maker of this shoe is, let me make you feel oh so much better: San Antonio Shoes (made in America)

And you know Nader has to get in the mix and Virtual Mo put him on some green clogs by Birkenstock (I guess its hard to get the word Mo in Nader…  MoNader?) . I’mma gonna let you be surprised and just let you click the link to see that one.

All made by Virtual Mo and are “one off pairs” which means no one else has them and they are not released for public consumption. None of the shoes mentioned or the companies named endorsed making these footwear items and are a artist creation of Virtual Mo (read that on Nicekicks…. I didn’t think they were but I guess you gotta add this type of stuff)


Nike Sportswear.com Has Most Popular Sneaker In NYC – Nike Air Force 1 ’07 LE Men White Red

That was a long title for this post LOL

Nike Sportwear is officially up and running and everybody is talking about the Air Force 1 Studio ID of which, by the way, is super cool. Here is a snippet rundown of the Studio ID from Nicekicks:

The options for the Air Force Ones include premium leather or metallic woven textile upper, metallic leather in gold, silver and bronze, laser-etch metallic hang tag in silver or gold, customizable side-wall stitching, custom debray (lace tag) and custom lace tips. Lastly, one can customize their kicks with a choice of digital printed sport graphics including images from soccer, basketball, 100-meter dash, and track and field.

Thats hot.  The price, only Paris Hilton would not think twice about, at 225 Dollars. I guess if you want all of that customization then you must put you money where your mouth is.

Bu the Studio ID is the the main reason for this post… the Nike Air Force 1 07 is! This sneaker is the most popular sneaker right now in NYC. You can not go too far in the streets of NYC without seeing these sneakers right here.

The best part is about the LE ’07 “Bird’s Nest” is that it costs only 85 Dollars. Consider yourself up to date without spending 109 dollars for Hyperdunks or 145 dollars like the 6 Rings, or 145.99 for Spizikes, or 179 for Air Jordan XX3′s, or… I think you get the point.

With all the money Nike has to be making, lets hope the drama about sweatshop factories in other countries has been settled at least somewhat (yeah I went there LMAO)


Now This Is Smart Business: Ryz Wear Lets You Design Your Kicks for REAL for Real

As seen on Nicekicks.com and is from the new community sneaker company Ryz

No not the “us only these colors here” or the “use only these templtes there” type of mass customization for a pair of sneakers, it is real freedom (or close to it) of design. What I like best about it is that it lets people get involved with the sneaker design and even profit from the design if they are selected by the community.

You see, to me being grown and sexy is about doing just that: while you are getting yours (or while you already have it), you try to give back to help others get theirs too.

For that, and this contest, Ryz gets my full support!!! Here is what’s up for sale soon and here is a sneak at what could come out if voted toward the top.

Nice!!! Piet designed by freeskihp

Sole Junkie blog is here and the website is here. Read the interview and check out Sole Junkie!!!

New on Sneaker Files :: Nike Dunk Halo 3 Customs

Nike Dunk Halo 3 Customs – Sneaker Files – Air Jordan – Nike Air Force One – SB – Release Dates and Information

 Nike Dunk Halo 3 Customs

What a find this is. On a new post at Sneakerfiles, they show a new custom Nike Dunk sneaker with the theme of Halo.  You got bullet marks, painted steel shielding on the toe, a really odd decision to use blue laces (lol the Halo logo being blue is not good enough, and some wear and tear on the Master Chief Green colored sneaker.

The creator of this custom is Nelson AKA Rebelaire.

See more pictures (huge) at Sneakerfiles.

Kia Shine Starts Sneaker Line :: Hip-Hop Review

Kia Shine Starts Sneaker Line :: Hip-Hop Review

Here is a quote from the site on this:

Kia Shine is already letting fans in on his fashion sense. The Memphis native, whose major label debut, Due Season, hit stores July 31, is helping fans stay krispy thanks to his newly launched sneaker collection, Traffik Jamz.

Prices for the high-end sneaker collection range from $350 to $850. The tricked out kicks feature flashy bling and can be personalized.

Also the words “swaggerful” and “Krispy” come up. The website isn’t open yet so I don’t know what they officially look like. I have only seen one picture and they look like hooked up Nike’s. Well until the site shows what it these sneakers look like, I am not going to say much.
