Nike Dunk High “Jose’ Parla” Customs

MizzeeCustoms is back with yet another custom creation he just recently finished up as an addition to his private stock. Using a Nike Dunk High as a base, Mizzee infused the signature style of Jose’ Parla throughout the shoes, a well-renowned graffiti artist who he looks up to as a fellow creator.  To set the base for the design, Mizzee mixed various shades of brown, tan, yellow, blue and red to give the sneakers an aged and rustic look. From there, brushstrokes in black and white were applied to various sections of the shoes, made to look like the marker/brush work Jose’ Parla demonstrates in his work.The wild design features plenty of focal points to catch your attention. Furthermore, the Swoosh has a color changing effect which transitions between green, brown and black. In an art sense, what Mizzee did here is a masterpiece. He even went as far as creating a custom box to match and complete the themenike dunk high jose parla customs 615x461 Nike Dunk High Jose Parla Customs

Air Jordan Retro 7 “Bordeaux” Confirmed For 2011

Although we’ve seen a video review of the sneakers and detailed photos  , a lot of people have still questioned whether or not the Air Jordan 7 “Bordeaux” is actually coming back to retail shelves. The image comes straight from Jordan Brand’s Spring/Summer catalog and as you can clearly see the Air Jordan Retro 7 “Bordeaux” is listed and ready to make a comeback. Since this particular Air Jordan 7 hasn’t seen the light of day since it’s original days in ’92, these will turn out to be one of the biggest Air Jordan releases we’ve seen in quite some time.To confirm the rumors and add more evidence to what we’ve already seen that proves the release is on the horizon, take a look at this catalog scan.  It’s still a little to early to set a release date in stone, but according to the catalog the Air Jordan Retro 7 “Bordeaux” is slated to release in April 2010, given there’s no release date changes between now and then. Rest assure though, as further details develop we’ll keep you in the know

Limited Edt x New Balance 577

According to what’s being reported by Streething, there’s two versions of the sneakers. Both look the same but come packaged differently. The Singapore edition, which is slated to release on November 12th, will be limited to 180 pairs and will come in a special royal blue velvet box. Each box will be individually numbered and will contain the shoe’s, a money bag, a pair of lace locks and a special hang-tag that allows each of the 180 customers who get their hands on a pair VIP access into the ‘Chamber’ room which houses a collection of the rarest sneakers for sale at Limited Edt Chamber. The global release, which is scheduled for November 20th, will include the shoes and a Limited Edt Vault money bag similar to the bags bank robbers used to steal from vaults in old movies. There’s been no mention at this time on how many pairs will be released globally.
Just when we thought we had seem em all, another New Balance collaboration crawls out of the woodwork. The handiwork this time comes from Singapore’s premium sneaker boutique, Limited Edt Vault. As a follow-up to their highly successful collaboration in 2008, Limited Edt and New Balance worked on yet another Made In England 577. This time the sneakers were given a nice black and blue color scheme on an upper featuring a mix of full-grain, croc-skin embossed, and supple cracked chrome leathers. If that’s not enough, the tongue and New Balance “N” logo are coated in 3M for good measure.limited edt new balance 577 sneakers 615x410 Limited Edt x New Balance 577

Air Jordan 13 “Altitude”

The Air Jordan 13 “Altitude” is scheduled to return this holiday season, joining many of your other favorite Air Jordan 13 colorways in a retro comeback that has Air Jordan enthusiasts in a frenzy. Along with the reissue comes a material swap.  The change is sure to disappoint those who were hoping for an original reissue.Unlike the original Air Jordan 13 “Altitude”, which featured a leather upper, the retro version uses the mesh material that appeared on the Air Jordan 13 “Flint Grey”. If you ask us though, the mesh looks a hell of a lot better and makes the retro that much more better in our eyes.
Details on a US release date for the Air Jordan 13 “Altitude” can’t be confirmed at this time, but for those of you who gotta have things early and don’t mind paying a premium for it, OSneaker has a pair with your name on them

Air Jordan 1 Hi “Banned”

Yesterday Fat Joe posted an image on Twitter yesterday showing off the Air Jordan 1 Hi “Banned”. Upon viewing the photos many of us were lead to believe the “x” detailing which made the “Banned” model what it was when we original saw it back in August was now a thing of the past. After Fat Joe posted a few more photos of the shoes earlier today, we’re now able to see that there is in fact at least one x on the sneaker.  The picture showed no visible x’s on the sneakers. Instead, there was a red x across the side of the box.Replacing the black Jumpman logo on the heel is a tonal red x. It may not be what a lot of you originally anticipated for, but we doubt Air Jordan collectors are gonna let these pass regardless if there’s x’s or not.
