Even if you’re a world-renown artist, you have to get a little excited when one of your favorite brands asks you to design a shoe. Self-proclaimed Free Run fanatic Dave White, who is well-known not only in the world of sneakers, but in the worldwide art community, got a chance to design the Air Free Nike Air Max Womens Run 1 earlier this year as part of the Free Run Brand WINGS For The Future charity, where 23 pairs were sold at auction. Part 2 of the Dave White x Air Free Run 1 has been all but confirmed, so as we’re patiently waiting for some concrete release Air Max 87 Womens information for the shoe, here’s another look at the Air Free Run 1 re-imagined by Dave White; it combines ‘signature’ with ‘signature’ as it features elephant print on the outer foxing with White’s trademark paint-splatter and star detailing on the upper, with a ‘Dave White for #23′ tag on the inner face of the tongues. Check out the gallery below and if you’re wondering what the asking price for the current available pairs are, hit up the auction from shamm12 on us stroes.

What’s next for the Zoom Kobe V2? Nike iD has done a phenomenal job with stretching out the design options for the sneaker as it now introduces the ‘Two Tone’ option for the upper. In addition to the solid, Fade, and Poison Dart Frog option, the Two Tone allows for a distinct base layer with black on the outermost layer. Seen here in the stunning Black/Volt colorway, the Nike Zoom Kobe V2 iD just got a bit more exciting to play around with, so check out some Air Max 95 Mens Shoes of the sample shots below and head on over to Nike iD now to design your pair.

From one variation on a 2009 version of a 1985-born original to another, we move from the Air Free Run 1 in cleat form to a Nike SB Dunk that, by name alone, has already been done.  The ’Gucci’ Nike SB Dunk High dropped just under two years ago  with the alternate nickname ‘RESN’ taken from a Girl Skateboarding rider’s graffiti tag.  There’s a different kind of street-level art at play with these new ‘Gucci’ Dunk High and Low SBs, namely, a couple of custom jobs by N-SB forum member jwizvr6.  He took a pair of Eric Koston’s ‘Thai Temple’ Highs from last summer and the Dark Charcoal Lows from a couple months later, and applied interlocking-G material on the side panels plus a couple color adjustments to fit the brand’s signature palette.  The quality on these is seamless enough to have you thinking they came straight out the blue box like this; are they the best Nike SB Dunk customs we’ve profiled here on Sneaker News?  Click on the jump so you can see more images and leave a comment to let us know where they rank amongst the year’s best custom designs.

When you think of old school basketball sneakers, chances are the material that comes to mind is leather. Indeed when the Nike Originals Decade Hi first hit the scene back in the 80′s the NBA was dominated by sneakers utilizing white leathers in conjunction with popping hits of color. Having outgrown its status as a basketball sneaker, the Nike Originals Decade Hi is back in a luxurious suede, shown here in the tone of lone blue. The sneakers also get an update in the form of the cushioned, perforated tongue in place of the leather one on the originals. Take a full look at this suede Nike Originals Decade Hi after the jump and grab them now from The Good Will Out in Germany.
