Nike Womens Air Max 1 - White - Glass Blue - Safari


Earlier today, we gave you a detailed look at the Red Plum installment of the Nike women’s Air Max 1 Safari pack and now you can get an up close view of another shoe from the collection. This version sports a White leather/mesh base and midsole with a healthy dose of Safari print covering various sections of the upper. Other than the black Safari dots, the only additional accent colors are found on the Glass Blue lining and eyelet holes. While this is definitely one of the more conservative shoes in the pack, they still have plenty of flavor to them. Ladies in search of a subtle, but stylish summer sneaker can find these now on eBay.

Nike Dunk ‘Mr. Potato Head’ Customs


YoaKustoms is known for doing some pretty outrageous custom sneakers, a lot which include loud colorways and bold graphics. The latest from YoaKustoms is the Mr. Potato Head Nike Dunks.

The custom Nike Dunks were done for a customer who wanted a pair of customs with a Mr. Potato Head theme including a design of Mr. Potato Head himself. With that being said YoaKustoms gave the Dunks a perdomently pink base with a white frontal and added Mr. Potato Head on one sneaker with a full face and without his face on the other sneaker. Throughout the white frontal there are potato head parts as a pattern and on the inner side of the upper there is a head shot of Mr. Potato Head. They are loud but defiantly fun.

NYLON Magazine x Nike Sportswear Dunk High


Introducing the Nylon Magazine x Nike Sportswear Collection.

It all began after a non-stop flight from New York to Beaverton that brought NYLON Magazine to Nike’s Innovation Summit. After a visit to Nike’s campus, the Innovation Kitchen, and meeting some of our top designers, a friendship was born. It is from this friendship that a dialogue between NYLON and Nike Design would come to result in a project that stands as a true collaboration between two partners determined to express themselves in the best way they know how – through design.

“We have always been a big supporter of the Nike brand and all that it stands for, says NYLON’s Editor-in-Chief, Marvin Scott Jarrett. “Just as Nike has grown beyond being just a running shoe, NYLON has come to mean more than just a magazine. That commonality is what brings us together.” From a shared obsession with pushing boundaries and embracing the rebel spirit necessary to be truly innovative, the Nike Dunk Hi and the Nike Windrunner were chosen for its reputation as just that, a rebel on the street.

Introduced on the basketball court in 1985, the Nike Dunk Hi evolved to become a symbol of self expression. Along with the Nike Windrunner, these icons of Nike’s design heritage have bridged the gap between sport and culture. “The Dunk has been a part of so many diverse cultures, stories, and movements. Bringing NYLON and the Nike Dunk Hi together is another great chapter in the Dunk’s history,” says Jesse Leyva, Design Director of Nike Sportswear.

Crafted in nylon with reflective details that spell out the magazine’s name, the bold Pink, Blue, Orange, Yellow, and Green hues were chosen because they are bold, modern, and ever present within the pages of the magazine. Following suit, the apparel design team fashioned the Nike Windrunner in the same tonal colors adding a piece to a collection that demands attention.

The Nike Dunk Nylon Hi and the Nike Windrunner are not meant for the shy at heart.

The Nylon Magazine x Nike Sportswear Collection released on June 20th, 2009. The Pink and Green colorways are exclusively available at Urban Outfitters locations across the country. The remainder of the colors can be found at locations including Niketown, Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer, Nike Sportswear at The Montalban, and Nikestore.com.
