This black snake is a perfect addition to your sneaker zoo.

In this massively successful implementation of this team we find this superb work of art borught to life with such power that not even the dinosaurs can withstand the commotion.

Dreamscape Nike Dunks 2.0

dreamscape

I wrote last December (link here) about the Dreamscape Nike Dunks created by Diversitile Custom Clothing. Diversitile was overwhelmed by emails from custom sneaker fans who wanted to get their hands on another version of the Dreamscape Dunks. The Dreamscape Nike Dunks 2.0 were posted this week at the Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The base color on the Dreamscape Nike Dunks 2.0 is orange but Diversitile went wild with a variety of other colors. The essence of the original Dreamscapes was the swirl of colors that bedazzled the viewer. Diversitile pumped up the volume in terms of his color palette by using brighter and clearer reds, blues and yellows on these customs. The designer kept the black toe box and middle panel as well as the white Nike swoosh for a little respite from the visual explosion.

Diversitile added a little surprise to the sophomore versions of the Dreamscape Dunks with a glow-in-the-dark heel. As the lights go down, the Dreamscape Dunks evolve from a jungle of colors to a more delicate blend of greens and blues around the heel.

Release Reminder: May 30, 2009

With the Air Jordan Retro DMP2 Package dropping last weekend, Jordan Brand is set to release another highly sought after sneaker this weekend. We have been hearing rumors of this sneaker since last year, and in March, we finally showcased the first pictures of the “Nubuck” Air Jordan 12 (XII). As most can remember, the black/white-university blue AJ 12 was a Jumpman23.com exclusive release in 2003 which could have only been bought at Jordan Brand’s online site along with a hoody and hat for $200. This time around, the sneaker will retail for $150 and will not be accompanied by anything but a box.

Though most of the attention this weekend will be directed towards the Air Jordan 12 Nubuck, two more variations of the Air Jordan Fusion IX (9) will also be available for purchase. The first style comes in low-top form, and it features a black upper with varsity red accents seen on the stitching, heel, and tongue, while white accents can be seen via the mid-sole. The other fusion sneaker to release this weekend is the “Olive” Air Jordan Fusion IX (9) Premier, and it yields a black leather upper with light olive and varsity red accents. The Air Jordan XII (12) Nubuck will be available for purchase for $150, while the AJF9 Low and AJF9 Premier will retail for $135 and $175, respectively. Be sure to check out the detailed pictures and tech information for each pair after the jump.

This interesting combination of the Nike Blazer with the upper of the Air Force 1 is sure to turn heads so fast that a number of sneakerheads may lose their brains as a result. Such beauty is too muich for mankind, we suspect, and these sneakers would perhaps have their better place among the gardens of the outskirts of heaven where they would perhaps be worn by the distant relatives of angels.

Or perhaps not. There is no way of proving or disproving such hypotheses. But the beauty of this creation is self-evident. If you love yourself, you should get a pair of these. If you love humanity, contribute by supporting talent. Via Nicekicks.

Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs

akumadunks

Diversitile Custom Clothing is participating in the 2009 Clash of the Customizers, a 32-designer custom shoe tournament running here and sponsored by 3R Customs. Diversitile’s first-round victory over MAS favorite Stizo Custom Kicks was achieved with the Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs. I found these photos at the Diversitile Custom Clothing Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs feature Street Fighter character Akuma training in a faraway place. Akuma is pictured from the front on the left exterior with a pink glow of energy reflected against his body. Diversitile showed Akuma from behind on the right exterior with his symbol glowing yellow and orange along his back. The interior sides feature mountains, dark skies and lightning to put the viewer in the right mood to see Akuma in training.

The designer completed the Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs by mixing the Akuma symbol with the Diversitile logo on the tongue. Diversitile is still waiting for his second-round opponent but the Dawn of Darkness Dunk Highs look like a championship contender. You can get a hold of Diversitile Custom Clothing by emailing getintouch@diversitile.com if you are interested in the designer’s latest work. I will cover additional entries in the 2009 Clash of the Customizers in the next week.
