The 7th installment of the Jordan Countdown series is set to release in late August . The Vs from the pack are a PE pair of 99 Fire Reds (as some call them). They are identical to the 99 release except for the jumpman on the heel (of course) and the 23 on the bottom right side. The XVIIIs are dressed up in what looks to be black suede with a red mid sole and sock liner and a white jumpman on the front flap. These will be $310 mens and $210 for grade school. Check back for more info.

My post yesterday explored the darker side of Alejandro Giraldo’s work at the Colombiamoda design fair. The Air Force Ones posted above showcase Alejandro’s ability to blend lighter colors with stark images in the span of a single shoe. These sneakers are dubbed Hold on There! due to the octopus that unifies the left and right shoes.

Alejandro broke down a major design barrier by creating an octopus that spans both shoes. The left shoe features the head of the octopus glaring at the viewer through beady yellow eyes. The wearer can touch the heels of both shoes to find that the octopus reaches well into midsole of the right shoe. Alejandro shows the cruel nature of the sea by adding some dripping blood to the Nike swoosh.

This Colombian designer shows his love again for Nike by adding the words “Just Do It” in white across the blue front panel. These photos were found at Alejandro’s Flickr page linked here. Readers can contact [email protected] to ask the designer about his influences and availablity for custom projects.

Celebrating the popular times of skateboarding in the 80s and 90s, here we have the Vans Half Cab LX Neighties Pack.

New York shop DQM has just received this new released from the Vans Vault campaign. The pack features three Half Cab LX models that use suede and leather, along with a 1966 Vans print on the midsole and panels. Choose from a grey, black or tan colorway. Personally, I think the grey version is the best with it’s colorful print and purple details. The black is the most reserved of the three choices. Via DQM.
