  • Nike ACG Pendleton collection
    By on November 27th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    here.

    The Nike ACG Pendleton collection is available and sold at Concepts website. This collection contains a Nike ACG Blazer Hi, a Nike ACG Jacket, Nike ACG backpack and Nike ACG boots. All items use Pendleton wool. Nike and ACG Pendleton collaborated to design this comprehensive pack for every sports person.

    Let’s look at the Nike ACG Pendleton Blazer Hi shoe. The shoe uses black leather and Pendleton wool. The toe box, tongue, swoosh, midsole and outsole are black. The midsection has the colorful graphics of Pendleton wool. It is a nice, cheerful looking shoe for the winter holiday season.

    Next, we’ll look at the Nike ACG Pendleton boot. The main body of the boot is in wool. The thigh high collar is in Pendleton wool. The midsole and outsole are stitched together in a weave. The purple accents are in the small Nike swoosh and outlining boundary around the midsole.

    The Jacket looks very good with a cream colored outer and Pendleton wool interior. Half the sleeve is in cream material while the rest is in the wool fabric.

    The backpack looks excellent. The combination of Pendleton wool and black is good. This will be a nice accessory to use to pack all the necessities to accompany one on a day trip.

  • Blue/Gray Woven Air Max Ones
    By on November 27th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    JWDANKLEFS presented his latest customs, a pair of blue/gray Air Max Ones, in the NikeTalk post linked here. The plain white Air Max Ones are shown below this post to contrast against the work done by the designer.

    By looking at the original colorway of these shoes, you can see that JWDANKLEFS did not go overboard with his work. His gray middle panel and heel are understated but work well with the glossy blue paint wrapping around the toe box. While comments on NikeTalk were critical of the shine coming off the blue paint, I think the glossy effect adds some flavor to these shoes.

    Another element of the designer’s work is the addition of blue paint to the tongue. The original tongue has a shiny silver effect over white Nike lettering. JWDANKLEFS completed these sneakers by filling in the white letters with blue paint. We take the blue lettering for granted but it shows the designer’s vision that he thought to match the tongue with the rest of the sneaker.

    New Balance A16 BS - #1

    Here’s a unique New Balance sneaker that is set to release in Japan. The New Balance A16 BS features a quilted toe box with contrast lacing, as well as a marbled midsole to give it an interesting appeal.

    The uppers come in blue or beige premium suede and these shoes feature hiking boot inspired laces. Not your typical New Balance sneakers, these look to be a sort of hybrid that can double as a leisure shoe.

    Look for the New Balance A16 BS to be released at Atmos in December. The beige version is really laid back, but the blue one is pretty vibrant with its black marbled midsole. Via High Snobiety.

    This Nike “Made For Skate” Blazer SB is a special shoe. It was designed for the “Made For Skate” event that is planned in Damski, in Netherlands, on November 30. This event is organized by Nike SB. There is a team of staff from the company called Ben G, who will be hosting the Pop-Up Store for the event. The company of Ben G has worked with Nike on a special project called “Made For Skate” and they have used the Nike Blazer SB shoe. This collaborated effort drew inspiration from one of the first sneakers designed for skateboarding.

    For residents of Damski, Netherlands, there will be 24 pairs of this Nike “Made For Skate” to be sold at the Pop-Up Store at the venue.

    This Nike shoe comes in a blue colorway with yellow accents. The toe box is protected by a blue leather mudguard. The yellow tongue provides a bright background for the yellow shoe laces. The tag in blue and yellow gives a nice touch to the design. The back tab has a large piece of the logo, “Made For Skate” and this is nicely framed in a box outlined by red and yellow. The striped lines below the tab also use yellow and red colors and the look coordinates well.
