Miz has been customizing kicks since the late 90’s, becoming infamous for his stellar graphic and paint work. After seeing many renditions of the Paris Lows, he decided to try his hand at replicating them, and in my opinion, was extremely successful. The Paris Dunks were a special limited edition release for the “‘White Dunk: Evolution of an Icon’” art exhibition in Paris. Only 220 pairs were made and sold at select shops in Paris. The detail work on the Miz dunks is exceptional, as is how closely they resemble the originals. Miz spent roughly 50 hours working on these, and is currently in the process of completing a high top version, adding his own bit of personality to them.

BeSpoke Sneaker Gallery is a sneaker design firm specializing in pop, iconic, and contemporary themes. Through artistic expression, they use sneakers as a medium to convey their passion for life, art, music and of course, sneakers. Recently, they were inspired by a cult classic, and have begun to release the Lost Boys Vintage Terminator Package. They used the terminator to help retell the story of David (Kiefer Sutherland) and his tribe of teenage vampires whom terrorized their small town in CA. They also did their best to give the customs an authentic feel of 1987 (the year the film was released) as well as a look of it being a prop in the movie. This vintage model (originally released in 1985) provided BeSpoke with the template to achieve their desired appeal. The customs consist of Bright Red Bite Marks (upper cushion & lower heel), Scratches, Pale tone of a victim freshly bitten, and Black for the Gothic Motorcycle Gang.

Last year, both Mache Custom Kicks and EmmanueLabor created custom kicks to follow the release of Kanye West’s Graduation. With the internet going crazy, they decided to come together and release these Best of Both Worlds, allowing them both to highlight their strengths in customization, to create these extremely unique AF1s. With Emmanuel’s niche being working with fabrics and other textiles, and Mache being known for his painting, they did a play on the KAWS artwork that was included in the 808 & Heartbreaks digital release. Emmanuel hit the streets to hunt down a fabric that would be a match to Kanye’s suit [pictured below] and when he found a perfect fit, he reconstructed the entire front of the shoe, and also sewed the heart onto the tongue. He then promptly shipped them off to Mache in order to complete the artwork you see on the heels, heeltabs and swooshes. What a perfect pair.

We’re not talking about your local town mayor here, but The Mayor, the guy who has been running all things Air Force 1 ever since the world discovered that he officially owns 1000 pairs of them. They are all a part of his official collection, now THAT is impressive. The Mayor continues to reflect his collection and creativity with his newest Nike iD - Bespoke AF1.

The Mayor recently visited the Nike iD Bespoke Studio at 21 Mercer Street in NYC to mess around with some of the many new and exciting options available for customizing and personalizing his favorite shoe; the Nike Air Force 1. After exploring many different design ideas, Mayor finally discovered the Air Force 1 that you see right here.

The shoe, still hot and fresh out the oven arrived at the Bespoke Studio today and features some sweet luxurious elements, including a dark denim upper with gold stitching and a matching gold insole. Mayor decided to use red patent leather on the Swoosh, heel tag and tongue label. In the images seen here, the sole is white with a clear out-sole, however that was not Mayor’s initial plan. He had intended for the out-sole to be colored a solid red, naturally to match the red details on the upper. There was some miscommunication in the outcome of the design, but it matters not, as these shoes are still hot. The lacelocks are made of stainless steel with “MYR” printed in an elegant scrawl. The shoes come with the original factory tag from the renowned Feng Tey factory in China. If you just so happen to be in NYC, it would be well worth it to take a trip down to Nike Sportswear and see what kind of unique Air Force you can make all on your own.Via SneakerNews

Black Rainbow is a Paris-based urban lifestyle site which man people do not know of. Recently they got together with artist Manuel Angot of Art Force One to collaborate on this pair of Nike Dunk Highs. Our guess is that the Dunk was chosen due to its timeless design and worldwide popularity. They feature a black upper with vibrant rainbow colored designs across the entire shoe. They just went on sale at Black Rainbow, where they were limited to only 10 pairs but unfortunately have already sold out. via euKicks.
