Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 “5 Rings” by Dijon Posted: 20 Jun 2010 12:28 PM PDT With the LA Lakers second NBA title in three straight trips to the finals, it is no doubt that the second half of this past decade belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe Bryant has now won a stunning five NBA Championships and to commemorate this feat, Dijon McLeish has created a Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 dubbed the “5 Rings”. This new Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 uses three different denims to balance out the purple and bright yellow used on certain regions of the shoe. The toe area, as well as the midfoot area, use a black denim color, while a dark grey color is apparent on the toe box, side panels, swoosh, and tongue. A multi-colored “Nike Air” heel tab is highlighted by the area directly underneath it, which is where purple and gold suede fuse to create a very Laker-esque feel. Finishing touches can be seen with dark purple laces and debrays that read “KB 24″ and “5 Rings.” View detailed photos below.

Supra Vaider Navy/White Posted: 20 Jun 2010 11:28 AM PDT The Supra Vaider has consistently drawn its share of fans and is known as one of Supras most successful models. Aside from the Supra Vaider Grey/Green Nylon we showed you a few days ago, there has not been a lot of talks of new colorways releasing. We have spotted a pair of Supra Vaiders in navy that are set to release as a fall colorway. The shoe features an entirely navy blue upper in suede and patent, which is set off with a white midsole that uses black piping to encompass the entire circumference. This pair has already hit shelves and is available now at Supra dealers worldwide.

Nice Kicks Staff Picks Posted: 19 Jun 2010 01:28 PM PDT This week brought us a number of nice sneakers from a number of brands. While the world is consumed with a certain “Infrared” Pack today, a lot of other great shoes have made appearances on the web since last weekend. We rounded up some of the Nice Kicks employees, from the website to the shop, and asked them about their favorite shoe seen this past week. Click through and check out what your favorite website’s employees liked most about this past week. Matt Halfhill At last, at last, at last! Finally I can scratch one of my grails off the bucket list. It was nearly 7 years ago that I was able to get my hands on a pair of White/Infrared VIs, but not being able to wear such a beautiful thing has been torture. I was somewhat disappointed when I first heard about the White/Varsity Red AJ6’s and even devised a plan to customize them to being Infrared, but thankfully JB released the Infrared Pack. White/Infrared 6’s – my favorite pair of kicks of 2010 (so far).
