I dont think many people can argue that Muhammad Ali was the greatest boxer of all time. The way he moved around the ring and the personality he had outside the ring made Muhammad loved by many fans. The crew over at GT Custom Kicks designed these custom air force ones to pay homage to the legendary boxing figure. There are a lot of amazing details for you to check out here, including 4 hand painted portraits of Muhammad Ali. Along with the very detailed portraits GT Custom Kicks also added newspaper clippings to the toe box and part of the side panel that are from the era when Muhammad Ali use to float around the ring. Something you may not realize about the red on the upper is that it was airbrushed and shaded to resemble the look of boxing gloves all included with authentic Everlast tags on the tongues. Those Everlast tags are such a nice addition to these and really take the design that extra step. 

The ALIFE Shelltoe is back with a few new colorways. These shoes feature a suede upper combined with the rubber shell toe box. They are available now in vibrant light blue, as well as black and grey.

These kicks are simple and subtle. You can get them at select ALIFE retailers, such as Flauge. Via Hypebeast.

Move over Simpsons there’s a new cartoon tearing into the Nike SB spotlight with the discovery of this “Quagmire” Nike SB Dunk High. This Dunk High was inspired by the popular Family Guy cartoon character, Quagmire, and features the red shirt and blue pants that he commonly wears in the show.  The sneaker sports blue suede on the toe, lacing area, and at the top of back heel with red suede and golden stars decorating the sides and half of the back heel. Currently there’s no release date information available but it’s rumored to drop in 2009.

This Nike Sportswear Air Magma collection comes in three colorways. This line has been successful so Nike Sportswear has been continued. This is a new series of Air Magmas. This line will be released exclusively in selected markets and stores.

This collection of Air Magma is made from waterproof rip-stop nylon upper in ACG colorways. The shoe has a standard design. The toe box has a toe cap to protect it. The black color will be made available worldwide. The yellow colorway will be reserved exclusively for USA. The magenta colorway will be sold exclusively at the “21 Mercer” store.

The yellow colorway looks bright and attractive. The black shoe lace is a big contrast on the yellow upper. The Nike swoosh is small to avoid distracting from the star attraction of the yellow color. The collar of the ankle is lined in black. The midsole is white with black specks.

The black colorway looks rather formal. This shoe can be worn on official functions.

The purple colorway looks good as purple coordinates with black well. The black shoe lace and Nike swoosh look good on the purple upper. The midsole has purple specks. I like the black and purple colorways.

UNDRCRWN and adidas remix hook up once again on a collaboration on the TS Creator model. Since Byron Sheng was formerly with adidas Remix and is now a part of UNDRCRWN, the brands have a close connection.

These sneakers feature a black upper that is embossed with an allover stamp to add some texture. It’s also accented with yellow and silver. A championship style ring can be seen on the heel with the crown logo. Via Kenlu.

Ripp is a 24-year old designer from Winston-Salem, North Carolina who has mixed his support for Barack Obama with his customizing skills on this pair of Air Force One Highs. Ripp took three weeks to create his Barack Obama Air Force Ones and his round-the-clock efforts show. You can reach Ripp by email at [email protected] if you want to get your own Obama customs.

The designer mixed images of Barack Obama with patriotic themes and campaign slogans to promote the Illinois senator’s candidacy. He used acrylic leather paint on the panels and fabric paint on the sole with a red/white/blue colorway that is appropriate for this election season. Ripp made each shoe independent without sacrificing quality and the unified pro-Obama theme.

The left shoe has USA on the heel, Change on the inside and Obama on the tongue. The right shoe has God Bless America on the heel, Progress on the inside and Barack on the tongue. Both shoes are tied together with simple images of Senator Obama looking out at the viewer from the tongues, making the same connection he has made with millions of Americans.

Ripp saved a little jab at Senator John McCain for the bottom of the shoe with images of the Republican candidate ready to be stepped on. The designer has priced these size 7 1/2 Air Force Ones at $400. We will be hearing more from Ripp in the future but his Barack Obama Air Force Ones show that the custom sneaker world seems to be on board with the Illinois senator’s campaign for change.
