The Nike Air Force 1 is a sneaker that’s proven to hold up pretty well over time. For example: since they predate the whole visible Air era you don’t really have to worry about the exploding soles happening. This vintage pair, a Nike Air Force 1 High apparently released in 1983, proves their sturdiness (Look ma, no yellowing!). Get with us after the jump to see a full photo set on this vintage Nike Air Force 1 High and let us know in the comments if you think you could get some actual wear out of the 30 year old gem. Also, if you feel like adding them to the collection then hit up mitsenfbitte on eBay.

We won’t blame people if they thought that the “Area 72″ version of the Nike Air Force Max 2013 would be the best of that sneaker’s colorways to ever arrive. Those just may have been topped though by this, a much more traditional looking “Grape” take on the slightly remixed shoe. Do you prefer this lowkey version to the wild graphics and glow in the dark treatment found on the aforementioned All-Star release? Tell us in the comments below and keep in mind that the “Grape” version of the Nike Air Force Max 2013 is showing up at stores like Wish in Atlanta now.

Sneakers specific tuned for outdoor play are sort of a dying breed at the moment, with not too many of the XDR joints and the like making huge noise here in the US at the moment. The category perhaps reached its peak back in the 90s, when companies were eager to cater to players who didn’t have access to real deal hardwood, a goal that also allowed them to inject some more “street” imagery into the associated campaigns. Helping tell the tale of outdoor basketball sneakers is this piece from Complex, which labels itself as a complete history of streetball sneakers. Did they hit all the key points? Check out some streetball models culled from the history books after the jump and let us know in the comments.

The Pigeon concept is nothing new to sneaker customs, but we gotta show props to KLR Whales for this one. For one, he uses a forgotten model that hasn’t seen the light of day in years, and the pair he transformed wasn’t some clean, DS pair right off the shelves, but a used one that he took out of his closet. That’s an awesome mix of restoration and customizing (the flannel lining was originally part of the shoe) that we haven’t seen many fellas pull off. A gallery is just below so take a look and let us know what you think about this unusual yet impressive mix.

Have you taken the new Nike Free iD for a spin over on NIKE iD? The process lets you mix and match the likes of the Nike Free 5.0 and the Nike Free 3.0, allowing users to create a sneaker made up of components from either of the two sneakers. You can whip up a Nike Free 5.0 upper that sits on top of a Nike Free 3.0 kit or vice versa, and of course you can color them up till your heart’s content as well. Take a look at a couple completed Nike Free iD samples after the jump and then make your own over at NIKE iD.
