The Nike Fall 2008 “Multi-color Patent” Dunk High is colorful but less colorful than its counterpart, the Nike Air Max 90. We have discussed about the Nike Fall 2008 Multicolor Patent Air Max 90 shoe in a previous post.

This Dunk High has a white toe box that has lines of perforation radiating from a central point. This toe box is surrounded by a shiny blue colored leather mudguard. The blue color is very cool. The midsection of the shoe is in smooth, white leather.

The shoe lace panel and lace are white. This shoe has many major areas in white. The Nike swoosh is yellow. This coordinates with the inner lining of the shoe, which is also yellow. There is a large panel of red colored leather at the heel of the shoe.

The midsole of the shoe is white and red. The top half of the midsole is white while the bottom half is red. There is a line of machine stitches running across the white portion of the midsole.

This shoe has white, red, blue and yellow colors. The colors have been widely spaced and separated by white areas, so that the shoe looks clean. This looks traditional enough to be used as a formal shoe.

The Nike “Octagon Quilted” Dunk High has begun to hit the shelves of Nike retailers around the world. These new kicks come in a variety of colors and are a good option for those who are looking for some bold shine to their wardrobe.

In the pictures featured here, you will see the black, red and blue versions of these Nike sneakers. As you can see, the shoes offer solid allover color. The only places you see a small change is on the stitching and on tongue tab of the shoe. The glossy finish and quilting gives these sneakers a high impact look. Millenium Shoes in L.A. is one of the stores that has these in stock. Via Hypebeast.

Chris Hui from C2 Customs is back at it again with a new pair of custom Air Force Ones. These sneakers are called the Sandstorms and represent the desert colors worn by soldiers in the Middle East. Hui has used his experience with past camo customs as well as close direction from his clients to create another fantastic pair of customs.

Hui used the familiar tan, green and brown color worn by soldiers in Iraq as the primary color used throughout these Air Force Ones. The middle panel as well as the toe box are matched with the color used on the interior lining of this shoe. I think that the Sandstorms are fantastic testaments to the colors worn by soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

These pictures were found at the C2 Customs website linked here. Readers can head to the website to check out additional pictures of the Sandstorm Air Forces and look at shoes available in the C2 Customs shop.

I am a big fan of boat shoes for a casual summer look, especially when they are done in interesting colors and textures. Italian company Luca has teamed up Soar to creat this version of the boat shoe in a bright yellow ostrich skin.

The shoe has a Chukka-liike appeal and is definitely different. If you are looking for a summer shoe that will turn some heads, this one is a good choice. This Soar x Luca collaboration is available exclusively to Zozo retailer Lighca. You can pre-order right now for ¥19,740 yen (about $183 USD). That’s a lot of cash for a boat shoe … but hey, it’s ostrich skin. Via Hypebeast.
