Ken Griffey Jr Shoes using a funky “tiled” cutout of square
When presented with smorgasbord of options, it’s hard to decide what goes with what and where it should go. Apparently one Bespoker who managed to snag a Air Force 1 Bespoke reservation over at Nike Harajuku during the 4-day Bespoke Pop-up event zeroed in one option and one option only. Check out this All-Elephant-Print Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke that features an unabashed overindulgence of the signature print; classic Ken Griffey Jr Shoes grey/black on the toe and heel but colorized versions appear on every customizable panel – even the under-layer of the swoosh!..
From the weird world of unreleased Nike samples, we bring you the “Tile Posite” sample of the Nike Zoom Kobe III. Clearly the upper is made of some sort of composite material that Nike dubbed “Tile Posite”, which is built via a seamless one-piece upper and some eccentric cut-outs around the foot for ventilation and/or aesthetics. The released version of the Nike Zoom Kobe III (if you young’ns can even remember) wasn’t much more subdued in comparison, using a funky “tiled” cutout of squares stretched out to fit over the foot, so perhaps this sample we’re seeing here is before the actual “Tile Posite” was even applied..
We hesitate to call them true sneakerheads, but there were indeed some dudes who got so excited about the Air Jordan XI Retro ‘Space Jam’ release a couple years back that they mangled a couple of storefronts where the coveted kicks were kept. ?Here’s hoping Paul Rodriguez’ Primitive doesn’t suffer a similar fate to one of its two locations upon the release of this collaboration with Gourmet, a drop that’s both Nike Kobe 8 For Sale an homage to His Airness and a nod to the origins of the now well-established lifestyle brand. ?The?Primitive x Gourmet Quadici ‘Space Jam’?comes with a black patent leather mudguard that, while not exactly practical in the kind of conditions where duck boots traditionally prove useful, most definitely signals that it’s inspired by 2009′s biggest hit not named ‘Air Yeezy’.
While the Nike LeBron X Elite represents the pinnacle of performance for the Nike LeBron line, the Nike LeBron X Low sort of orients things in the other direction with its more casual cut-down look. That notion is sort of exemplified by the fact that we’ve never seen Bron himself don a pair on the NBA court. They should still be suitable for the sneakerhead set though, a group who is a lot less likely to break a sweat in their favorite pair.
