| Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 by FUTURA x Gerald Posted: 22 Mar 2010 12:43 PM PDT  Last week, photos of a Kevin “PPG” Hunter-designed Bespoke Nike Air Force 1, specially-made for DJ Clark Kent, surfaced on the web. Many of you stated that you liked its design cues. In addition, we have spotted yet another Bespoke Air Force 1; this time, it incorporates Futura’s design attributes. At the Futura x Syracuse Launch Event, a grand prize winner named Gerald won the raffle contest. Upon winning this contest, Gerald got the chance to sit down with Futura and work on a custom pair of Air Force 1s. These vibrant Air Force 1s feature a primarily purple and orange leather upper with various sections of kevlar seen on the toe box and heel panel. Other features include orange contrast stitching throughout the base, a grey swoosh, grey shoelaces, an orange inner lining and an MX sole. What are your thoughts on Gerald’s Bespoke design? Is it one of the better Bespokes seen in awhile? Click here to view detailed photo. | Read the rest of Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 by FUTURA x Gerald

| Kicks On Court: Joe Johnson Wearing “Jordan Brand Classic” PEs? Posted: 22 Mar 2010 09:43 AM PDT  Lately, the newly-designed Jordan Icons has been the go-to sneaker for most of the JB members including Joe Johnson. He has laced up a red patent leather colorway and a blue patent leather colorway within the past couple of weeks. Now, take a look at Johnson’s new, special edition Jordan Icons in our Kicks On Court today. In a win against the San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Joe Johnson wore a blue/white colorway of the Jordan Icons. This particular colorway is very similar to the Jordan Icons “Jordan Brand Classic” PE we showed you at the end of January. It features heavily-perforated side panels as opposed to the graphic designs seen on most of the Icons that have released. The only difference between the Jordan Brand Classic PE and Johnson’s PEs are the color on the midfoot area; Johnson’s PE features a hint of light blue on this area, while the Jordan Brand Classic possesses a touch of red. What are your thoughts on Joe’s Jordan Icons? Click here to view these kicks plus more worn by LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Baron Davis and others. | Read the rest of Kicks On Court: Joe Johnson Wearing “Jordan Brand Classic” PEs?

| Nike Air Max 1 Black/Black-White-Matte Silver Posted: 22 Mar 2010 08:13 AM PDT  When all is said and done, the Parra-designed Nike Air Max 1 may prove to be the most hyped release of the year. So often in 2010, we’ve seen the classic runner come and go. Though these won’t be as sought-after as the aforementioned pair, they are sure to be a hit. This pair is very similar to the White/Black-Scuba that we opened this year with, but has replaced the accent blue with bright red on the logos and eyelets. Silver fills the Air bag. These are technically a women’s release, but may release with a men’s shoe companion. | Read the rest of Nike Air Max 1 Black/Black-White-Matte Silver
