The mysterious Layupshot keeps his string of Nike Air Force 1 Bespokes inspired by NBA greats going with this Michael Jordan tribute. He doesn’t go the expected route however, instead swerving around any of the Bespoke options that could have the sneaker looking like just another Air Jordan tribute. The Chicago Bulls palette is of course intact with plenty of red, white, and black hitting on the various sections of the sneaker. On the material side it’s patent leather, croc skin, and perforated leather.

It’s a bit ironic that the Bespoke headlines have slowed down considerably during the year of the Air Force 1′s 30th Anniversary, but that might be due to the fact that the Supreme-grade releases and the sick iD options made top-shelf Forces much more affordable. Regardless, a few hardcore fanatics are getting their Bespokes done, like Luis Valle, who shows off this sick digi-pixelated upper in brown/khaki blocks. Spelling the earthy colors is the bright red inner lining and contrast stitching on the midsole for that unique Bespoke-exclusive flair. More angles are just ahead, so take a look and let us know what you think of Valle’s design.

The subject of Islam has always been a hot-button debate, even in the NBA. One of the league’s most polarizing individuals in history is none other than Chris Jackson, who later converted to Islam during his NBA career and took on the religious name Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. His refusal to stand during a the traditional singing of the National Anthem before a game and shaky remarks regarding the American Flag prompted a swirl of controversy around his name, when he rather should be remembered as one of the greatest Free-Throw shooters in NBA history. Layupshot pays homage to this point-guard legend with this awesome Nuggets-inspired design, opting for ‘Chris Jackson’ with the initials on the heel as a way to pay respects to the same man. A detailed gallery is just below so take a look and let us know what you remember from Jackson/Abdul-Rauf’s career!

Let’s continue this series of NBA-inspired Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke designs by Layupshot with a focus on Chris Mullin, the St. John’s University standout that made his name as one of Golden State’s most prolific scorers. After his playing career was over, he was added to the Golden State front office, enduring a five-year tenure as the team’s VP of Basketball Operations until 2009. He’s currently sporting the same buzzcut as an analyst for NBA on ESPN, all while being inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and having his #17 jersey retired by Golden State. Mullin certainly deserves to be in the conversation of NBA greats, so enjoy this Bespoke tribute to Mullin just below!

When one thinks of the legacy left behind by John Stockton, what images pop up? Is it luxurious python-skin leather in a lush teal, or perhaps an earthy brown suede seen on worker boots? Not really, but this Bespoke design inspired by John Stockton brings an unprecedented level of luxury to the otherwise ‘vanilla’ aura of John Stockton, whose greatness came from unflashy yet effective fundamentals at the point-guard position. This Bespoke by Layupshot combines the aforementioned python-skin and suede with purple perforated leather and white canvas for that Utah Jazz feel (from the rocky mountain jerseys, not the purple/yellow joints), with Stockton’s ’12′ embroidered at the forefoot and his 10 All-Star Game selections noted on the tongue. A gallery of this unique take on John Stockton is right below so give it a look and let us know where these rank among all the other NBA-inspired designs we’ve seen.

Japan’s Edo period was marked by an isolationist foreign policy, a fact that gives you a sense of just how far ‘collaboration’ has come in a relatively short section of human history. Japanese artists created distinctive styles during that period, including Ito Jakuchu, a Buddhist-inspired 18th century painter known for natural depictions and especially his birds. In conjunction with Airside Nippon for Tokyo Designers Week 2012, Nike Harajuku in Tokyo is offering some spectacular Jakuchu-inspired chrysanthemum-print floral Nike Air Force 1 Bespokes for one week only starting today, so have a closer look below and let us know how they compare to the impressive ‘Linen x Sakura’ Bespokes we just saw last week.
