The Air Jordan VI returns once again as the focus of yet another custom Air Jordan, but with a concept derived from Curren$y’s ‘Pilot Talk’ album of 2010; it features a album’s artwork of a fighter jet coasting through a sky in a green/black landscape, which is used to colorize the upper. The imagery of the planes hits the heel portion of the shoe, while the leafy graphic captures the forefoot, but it’s the translucent candy green outsole that gives the ‘Pilot Talk’ customs a nice punch of color. More of El Cappy‘s work below, so take a look and let us know what you think.

Nike SB is more or less chillin’ on the 4/20 theme this year, a single pair of low-key ‘Bonsai’-like suede Stefan Janoskis the only mention of April’s notorious ‘holiday’ following two monster hit Dunk SB drops. Burgeoning skate sneaker supplier Diamond Supply is happy to step in and fill the void with a collaboration featuring a guy whose entire recording persona is built off of an affinity to leafy green herbs. The Curren$y x Diamond Supply Co. Brilliant is covered from heel to leather toecap in leaves and diamonds, two colorways each from the high and lowtop versions offering a variety from the obvious green to this season’s ubiquitous black/white. Check out all four pairs after the jump below and let us know if these have the same spark as Todd Bratrud’s Dunk High SBs. via N-SB

You’d be hard-pressed to find a rapper better suited to wearing a sneaker like Tood Bratrud’s ‘Cheech and Chong’ Dunk High SB than New Orleans’ own Curren$y. The journeyman rapper has just hooked up with Diamond Supply’s burgeoning sneaker line to create a pack suitable for his Smoker’s Club Tour, a set of Vans Sk8-like vulc-soled skate shoes with all-over flower and diamond prints. They remind us quite a bit of this April’s HUF Hupper ’420′; which design is better? Click through to see more of the Currensy x Diamond Supply Co. collaboration and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the spring 2012 release date.
