Sandstorm Air Force Ones


Thursday, July 31, 2008

sandstorm $title

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.

Air Jordan 20 (XX) Countdown Pack Detailed Look

Today is a great day for those of us interested in upcoming Air Jordan Countdown Packs, since we have a few pairs to show you. Here is the Air Jordan 20 (XX) Retro Countdown Pack, different from any Jordan 20 ever to release.

As we can see, the Air Jordan 20 (XX) Retro Countdown Pack will not contain the patent leather toe box, but instead it looks like Jordan Brand used nubuck, while the sneaker is finished off with all black including the laser print. A nice change some may say, but everyone has a different opinion. Available now at Sole-Locker.

Air Jordan Force Fusion 3 (III) White / University Blue Sunset Released

When we first exposed the Air Jordan Force Fusion 3 (III) White / University Blue Sunset, mixed emotions were thrown left and right, and although more people disliked this color-way then liked, some will be happy to hear they finally are releasing at Jordan Brand retailers.

What some have criticized Jordan Brand back some years ago for having a fake pair of Jordans in a group photo for their catalog, many have said this is the actual pair. Check your local dealers for this pair, but retail is $134.99.

Soar x Luca Lighca Exclusive

Soar x Luca Lighca Exclusive - #1

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.
