“All dreams are crazy until they come true. Dirk did it.”
Earlier today we gave you a sneak peek at a pair of Bespokes made for Dirk Nowitzki, celebrating the realization of a dream he had fourteen years ago. Not only did he realize his own dream, he capitalized on a dream that all NBA players have – winning the Larry O’Brien and getting one of the most ornately designed Championship rings in history (having Mark Cuban as the team owner will do that). Nike Sportswear presented the Air Force 1 Bespoke, designed by Nike iD designer Israel Matteo, to Dirk in a hand-made wooden box built by actual NBA court hardwood with Nike’s special message to Dirk engraved on the outer face of the box. We’ve got more on this sick 1-of-1 made for NBA Champion Dirk Nowitzki below so take a look and let us know what you think of the design!

Dirk Nowitzki might go down as the most underrated and overshadowed Hall-of-Famer in history. The long-haired and lanky German went to the Finals twice in the era rife with elite-level superstars like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Kobe Bryant, and some could argue that he should’ve had not one, but two NBA titles (both against the Miami Heat). On June 12th, 2011, Dirk let the Dallas Mavericks to its first ever NBA Title, repaying owner Mark Cuban for his loyalty and giving the city of Dallas a true sports hero to idolize. With the NBA Playoffs now in full force, Nike Sportswear spotted Dirk with these sick Air Force 1 Bespokes, constructed in a faded black denim with ‘DIRK’ stitched on the heel, his jersey number of ’41′ on the tongue, and a dope silhouette logo on the heel, mimicking his trademark asymmetrical fadeaway jumper. We’ve got some image stills and a video below, so take a look and let us know if you think Dirk has what it takes to come back from down 2-0 against the Thunder and repeat as an NBA Champ!

The Sneaker Friends traveling tour made a stop at the Time Warner Cable Arena – home of the Charlotte Bobcats. The Sneaker Friends show opened its doors to a group of sneaker-crazed locals, who brought their own special kicks and table displays, but the highlights were easily dominated by none other than the ATF Crew (and you know they bring serious heat). Tons of unreleased samples and PEs, the entire ’112′ Set by DJ Clark Kent, premium-grade Bespokes galore – it was certainly a sight to see and the perfect event for sneakerheads to get a first-hand look at some of the most coveted kicks on the planet. Check out some of the highlights from the Sneaker Friends x Charlotte Bobcats Sneaker Show 2012 after the jump and let us know what you’ve got your eyes glued on! Photos: SneakerTube.tv

The only thing left is to see how each one ranks for its ability to translate its designer’s vision into a wearable piece of art. This new pair crafted by French sneakerhead Antoine LeQuevre finds itself near the top of the list in terms fo sheer wearability, its mix of carmael brown and blue tones featuring the kind of matrerial distribution you simply can’t get with an online-built iD. Click through to see how the carefully placed suede and scaley sections give this one a subtle depth, and let us know how they compare to earlier AF1 Bespokes showcased here on Sneaker News.

Given the sizeable overlap between car lovers and sneakerheads, it’s somewhat shocking that we’ve not seen more Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke designs referencing their designers’ favorite conveyances. We finally have a clear cut example of an auto-inspired AF1 Bespoke with this new look penned by Greg Lane, a mix of red, black and about five shades of grey that takes its look from his old car. The combination of Elephant on the toebox and rear quarter plus Safari print on the side panel and heel tab is as eye-catching as Lane’s two-tone Dodge Charger, with its reflective 3M Swooshes serving as something like the chrome rims on this neckbreaker. Click through to see more details and the automobile that inspired them and let us know which make and model you’d immortalize on your Bespokes. via UGS

We don’t have similarly definitive proof that he was among the lucky first 30 to get one of the special edition fir-lined wooden boxes, but this new Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke created by faithful customer Slovadon is indeed the first we’ve seen of the Vachetta Leather edition in the wild. This design emphasizes the rich leather with a range of brown tones from chocolate to walnut with a little gum thrown in for good measure. It’s an colorway befitting the signature material that’ll keep Kaws from getting in a tizzy even if these are covered in what’s sometimes alsoreferred to as ‘baseball (glove)’ stitching. Check them out up close after the jump and let us know if the super-deluxe level of premium quality readily apparent on this pair is enough to get you scheduling an appointment with 21 Mercer.

Yes Nike iD’s options are ever expanding, but every once in a while we get another glimpse at a Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke design that reminds us how disparate the respective customization processes are in their options. In this case you certainly get what you pay for, as the jumbo-size price tag on the Bespoke designs let you do pretty much whatever you want. Case in point is this pair from Vernon Dillard, whose grey and blue combo almost looks like a riff off the royal Nike Dunk High QS ‘All-Star’, complete with some 3M detailing for the flashy appeal. Dillard’s takes the industrial feel a bit further though, sliding in pieces of digi-camo wherever he can fit them in across the suede upper of the shoe. Follow us after the jump and stay tuned at Sneaker News for more Bespoke designs. via UGS
