Lupe Fiasco recently was fortunate enough to design a pair of Nike Air Force 1 iD’s and his point of inspiration was his label, Fall of Rome. The Air Force 1’s he used for his iD’s were a pair of AF1 Low’s, mixed with some premium leather, patent leather, and mixture of Black and Gold. The custom AF1 shoetag reads “IV” which also symbolizes his F.O.R. label and his name for this shoe, AFIV. No information on whether or not these will be released but as of right now they are limited to four pairs worldwide. via Hypebeast

In 2006, EMINEM and Nike go together to design a number of Air Max sneakers to benefit the Marshall Mathers Foundation and ninemillion.org. They included an Air Max 1 with the image of Big Proof in white, red and blue, very different from the above sample that was never released. Though simple the above is definitely a lot more appealing than the auctioned pair. The upper is made up of smooth and patent leathers in College Grey, the lower along with the rest of the accents are also in College Grey, the only other color are the white laces. These are currently available on eBay.

Update: The pair on the left is actually red and black, not orange as seen in these photos.
Since we last reported on different colorways of the Rasheed Wallace Sheed Air Force 1 High Supreme, the House of Hoops in Harlem NYC seem to be the exclusive retailer for them. Although we just saw the black and red colorway on eBay. Three colorways have hit HoH, two that we’ve seen, the white blue and the black red, the black orange pair is the first time we’ve seen them. Sheed definitely makes a lot of ‘noise’ on the court and definitely breaks rules as well - he is the only NBA player to still wear this 26 year old Air Force 1 on the court. He wore the white and blue pair while he made some ‘noise’ and cost him $25,000 post game. For those lucky enough to be near Harlem, you can pick these up now at the House of Hoops.

He is one of the greatest running backs of all time, he is also a Most Valuable Player, most of the time he simply goes by ‘LT’, short for LaDainian Tomlinson. Designer “JB” from the Innovation Kitchen (iK) in a special protected area of the Nike Campus has decided to create a special 1-of-1 Air Force 1 for the achievements of LT, who also happens to be a big Air Force 1 fan. The Air Force 1s come in an amazing case which features a fierce looking Knight chess piece delicately laser-etched onto both sides of the case. The sliding mechanism features a laser-etched “LT” logo which when opened review the special AF1s. The Air Force 1s feature a metallic blue on the upper also with laser-etched art and the Knight chess piece, the swoosh and the heel tab feature light metallic gold. Thanks Clark!

Not too long ago Spike Lee was spotted rocking a pair of Spizikes that looked to be a New York Knicks colorway Jordan Brand gave to Spike as a special gift. Now it looks like Spike has gotten another special gift from the folks out at JB and this time it’s another Spizike also in the Knicks colorway but instead of being White based it’s a Black based shoe with hints of Blue, Orange, and White. If you head out to the Garden at some point next year we’re sure you might see Spike sitting courtside with a pair of these on. via Complex // Nice Kicks // Hypebeast

The Orangemen will play Maryland in the second round of the Mastercard NIT tonight after defeating Robert Morris in a 87-81 victory. Nike recently paid homage to the Syracuse Orangemen with this special edition Dunk Low in Syracuse colors and even put the words Orangemen in the back heel of the sneakers. As college basketball wast where the Dunk got its start and Nike Dunk currently celebrating this year it makes total sense to pay tribute to the Orangemen. These were promos only given to select friends and family of the Orangemen. Photos High Snobiety
