The new Nike LeBron X “Killer Elite” pair of custom sneakers from the always on point Mache is one that walks the line between flashy and stealthy. In regular lighting the sneaker is a gun metal grey, upgraded with just a little bit of red here and there presumably for the purpose of bringing it closer to Bron’s Heat wardrobe. Hit it with a flash though and the sneaker comes alive thanks to the thorough 3M treatment across the upper. Get a couple more angles on this Nike LeBron X Elite creation from Mache Customs and tell us in the comments if you’re feeling the 3M look.

Remember when Dank Customs whipped up that low-top version of the Air Jordan XI “Bred”? He follows that up with another low-top version of the Air Jordan XI classic – the iconic “Space Jam” colorway that started a string of singular XI Retro releases in December.This one’s got the iconic XI detailing down to the tee, but in typical fashion, Dank adds a sick touch with the Space Jam movie logo on insoles of the shoes. Definitely an impressive piece to take a gander at, so check out the gallery below and chime in with your opinions in the comments below.

Converse has had plenty of camo looks come out over the past year or so, but not too many of them have arrived on the Converse Pro Leather silhouette. Patching up that gap is this custom from Sevenzulu, a camo-colored take on the low version of that All-Star Brand silhouette. The pair goes with an MA-1 army jacket look, a sturdy theme that gets all the better with the addition of the metallic d-ring lace hoops. See the entirety of the Converse Pro Leather 76 “MA-1 Jacket” custom right after the jump and stay tuned to see if the scene responds with more custon Cons in the future.

Is it possible that the University of Oregon would ever get their own version of the Nike Roshe Run? As far as we know, Roshe designer Dylan Raasch doesn’t have any connections with the school, not to mention the Roshe hasn’t been a sneaker prone to such treatments so far, so probably not. Giving them a Eugene-friendly look anyway is JP Custom Kicks, who has outfitted the Nike Roshe Run with an “Oregon Ducks Pit Crew” vibe inspired by the Air Jordan III “Pit Crew”. Continue reading for this latest Air Jordan III/Roshe crossover and drop your thoughts in the comment box below.

2012′s “Galaxy” concept continues to have a strong influence with sneaker customs a year later. When will the Area 72 focus catch on? We’ve only seen a handful of Area 72-inspired customs hit our headlines, but we’ll add another one to the 2013 All-Star column with this Air Jordan IV “Area 72″ Custom by DMC Kicks. His most recent work featured on Sneaker News was a remixed “Easter” version of the Nike LeBron X, but this time around he adopts an existing concept seen in the Barkley Posite Max release with the black/red upper, hints of purple, and the white fragment print on the upper. More of the Air Jordan IV “Area 72″ is just below, so take a look and stay tuned for more custom sneaker updates.

The iridescent “Invisibility Cloak” look has nearly completely disappeared (How apropos) after the frequent treatment it had across Swoosh styles in 2012. Reviving the look is this piece from Overdose of Opulence, an Air Jordan III styled up to go with the “Invisibility Cloak” theme. The color shifting look is slapped on via the sole tooling, the back tab, and the Jumpman, with the base of the sneaker getting outfitted in jet black. Interestingly enough the pair actually started off as worn down Air Jordan III “Pure”, which was definitely given a second lifetime via this custom. See more after the jump and tell us if you approve of the Air Jordan III “Invisibility Cloak”.
