The hologram look seems prepped to be a salient one in Nike Sportswear’s catalog moving forward. No doubt the most eye-popping is of course the Nike Vis Zoom Hyperlight “Hologram”. Toning the theme down a fair amount is this, a Nike Air Force 1 Low creation that goes all lenticular on us via the mid panel and the heel tab. Aside from that it’s a very muted affair, mixing in a steely set of greys and blacks. See more on the shoes right after jump and check back in with Sneaker News to find out when the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Hologram” will be releasing.

Ostrich leather arrived as May’s Nike Air Force 1 iD special option, and today we have a handful of samples that demonstrate what’s possible with this notably nubby material. As you see from looking at these two fairly restrained colorways, both Air Force 1 High and Low are available in either traditional AF1 or Lunar Force 1 builds. Ostrich can be mixed with smooth leather to make the quill bumps even more striking, which is the whole point here with simple colorways adding a subtle if slightly wild twist. Stick with Sneaker News for the latest and let us know how these compare to last month’s pony hair zoo.

The whole “What The” concept is one we’ve seen spread to a ton of sneakers by now. The mash-up theme, originally hitting on the Nike SB Dunk Low, is one we’ve seen come from the NIKE iD scene a few times as well. Here’s one of those, a Nike Air Force 1 Low from the supreme Bespoke level of customization created by DJ Clark Kent and featured in the film Lottery Ticket. Get a refresher on the sneakers after the jump and check out the pair available now from hennyxo119 on eBay.

Over the years, many dedicated AF1 appreciators have come forward to map out and execute a Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke design. Those who have stepped up to the challenge have each set out to create a supremely unique design that not only expresses individuality, but also allows each creator to leave their personal mark on the hallowed Air Force 1 legacy with their very own 1 of 1. This latest offering comes from Vandal-A, who we know as an indie producer of some of the best sneaker-related graphic tees the game has ever seen. Shifting over from tees to the Air Force 1 as his palette, he presents a tasty concept that seamlessly blends elements of two of atmos’s most legendary Air Max 1 releases (the “Safari” and “Viotech”). The shoe is brought to life through some tasteful color and material choices, using predominantly earth-toned leather, canvas and suede, while incorporating some never-done-before Bespoke details like the embroidered mini-Swoosh at the forefoot and the massive lasered ‘AIR’ on the cork heel. Sneaker News has a full detailed gallery of Vandal-A‘s Air Force 1 vision after the jump, so continue on for a better look and let us know what you think and where these stack up against some of the other memorable Bespoke creations we’ve seen.

What started as a set of lowtops has expanded into highs, and now five of the Nike Air Force 1 ‘Blazer’ colorways are set to release this Saturday, May 18th. Each pair is done up with a supple suede upper in tonal colorways, finishing up a model that borrows colors from original 1970s Blazers. They skip the fat belly Swoosh, but the intent is clear thanks to suede being relatively uncommon on general releases of the Nike Air Force 1 (plus the vintage-style tongue tags). Have a closer look at the five pairs after the jump and get ready for a whole handful of styles on Saturday as several colorways have already begun to hit retailers like Oneness.

Can you separate your favorite sneakers from those that have been the most influential over the years? Complex went ahead and took a stab at that, compiling what they’re billing as the 30 Most Influential Sneakers of All Time. Some of them are billed as such for the impact the overall design has had on the game, the Nike Air Force 1 for example, while others seems a little bit more centered on the colorway impact (Yes, the “South Beach” Nike LeBron 8 is on there). Continue reading for a small sample of their list and then head over to Complex if you’re interested in the rest.

It’s not uncommon to see someone craft a tribute sneaker with their Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke experience, using the Uptown silhouette to create a nod to a previous Swoosh banger. That appears to be the aim taken by Nagata here, who designed this gum-bottomed Nike Air Force 1 Low. The pair is shown next to a vintage Nike catalog featuring a sneaker that looks close to the likes of the Nike Daybreak, but 21 Mercer hasn’t provided any background info at this point. Tell us if you think this was a good use of the Bespoke program and stay tuned to see what comes out of the studio next.

We’re still awaiting the Liberty London collab that was the most recent piece of Nike Air Force 1 Downtown Sneaker News before today. Here’s a new AF1 Downtown that opts instead of a multicolor print, to dabble in dark greys and black of varying glosses. Combining a traditional leather with suede, patent and mirror-shiny metallic leathers all atop a tonal midsole gives this Air Force 1 Downtown a unique feel. Stick with Sneaker News for US release info and check out more images below in the meantime.
