One of the earliest Sneaker Customizers that was featured regularly on Sneaker News is none other than ROM – the Dunk High specialist who made his mark with a distinct POV on kicks. Following up on last April’s ‘Samurai I’, ROM hits us with the second chapter of the Nike Dunk High ‘Samurai’ Custom; it features a sublime mix of blue, black, and pewter anchored by his personal logo on the heel. What’s different about the Samurai II is that these customs will be available both as a High and Low (limited to 20 pairs total). Check out the gallery below and if you’re interested in getting your own customs done, check out ROM’s webstore here.

The French denim concern’s last three sneaker collaborations have been teamups with Vans, but longtime Sneaker News readers will also remember that A.P.C. has teamed up with Nike Sportswear on multiple occasions. Jean Touitou’s universally respected label had focused its attention solely on the All Court lowtop in previous efforts, but these new drops instead switch to two slightly more modern classics. The A.P.C. x Nike Dunk High will release in two ‘dipped’ and one more (off-)white monochromatic style, all with dark gum soles and accompanied by an Air Max 1 in dark blues. As you’d expect from A.P.C.’s reputation for a ‘clean’ look, their branding elements are discreetly hidden on the inner tongue labels, so click through to see more details and stick with Sneaker News for release info. via HB

NIKE PACK WEEK
Yesterday’s Nike ‘Clerks’ Pack feature in Classics Revisited was a reward of sorts to a cluster of Nike’s most reputable sneaker shops in the West Coast and in London. But other Packs are born in-house and encircle a pre-made concept, like 2006′s ‘Fantastic Four’ Pack. Not surprisingly, the Nike ‘Fantastic Four’ Pack featured four models representing each of the four members of the Marvel Comics superhero team – the Air Max 90 (Mr. Fantastic), Air Force 1 Low (Invisible Woman), Dunk High (The Thing), and Air Max 95 (Human Torch). The opposing force to the ‘Fantastic Four’ Pack was the team’s long-standing rival Dr. Doom, who took form in the Air Foamposite Pro.
The fictional Fantastic Four is recognized primarily for their unique physical abilities that arose as a result of exposure to cosmic rays in outer space. Likewise, the Nike ‘Fantastic Four’ Pack were each distinguishable not only be colorway, but from the materials that were used to build each shoe; the Air Max 90 featured a canvas-like material, the Air Force 1 Low had a transparent upper, the Dunk High used an interesting material that had a rocky texture, and the Air Max 95 utilized patent leather to emanate blazing-hot flames. The Fantastic Four Pack was already released roughly one year after Fantastic Four was produced into a feature film. While none of the ‘Fantastic Four’ releases were featured in our previous Classics features of the respective models, the entire Pack as a whole is certainly one of the more memorable drops in ‘Pack’ history. More of the set below, so take a look and let us know which of the Fantastic Four you have in your collection!

NIKE PACK WEEK
Over the last several weeks, Sneaker News has covered a nice variety (albeit a small chunk of the massive library of sneakers) of notable releases from the last decade for Classics Revisited consisting of Air Max collaborations, early-era Foamposites, and even Air Jordan Lows. Each of the aforementioned carry some heavy weight, but special attention must be given to one particular piece of verbage that continues to be used today – the sneaker ‘Pack’. What a ‘Pack’ annotates is either an official or un-official gathering of sneakers that fall under on specific sub-category – the recent ‘Home Run Derby’ Pack of the Nomo and two Griffeys being a prime example. Beginning in 2005, Nike teamed up with a number of notable sneaker retailers for the ‘Clerks’ Pack, which involved a veritable list of reputable shops like UNDFTD, Stussy, Huf, and Size? over the span of one year. Three major cities were targeted for the Clerks Pack, beginning with Los Angeles in 2005, and followed by London and San Francisco in 2006.
The first leg of the Clerks Pack begin in Los Angeles with Stussy (Blazer Mid ’73), Union (Air Force 180), and UNDFTD (Dunk High NL) and released in 2005; of the three, the Air Force 180 is certainly the attention-grabber of the bunch, with the high-rise silhouette given an astounding visual punch with safari print, a gradient white/pink midsole, and the color-blotted spots on the ankle collar and insole. The Clerks Pack continued in London (April 2006) with three Air Max silhouettes (Air Max 90, Air Stab, and Air Classic BW) with the Air Max 90, inspired by the scenic colors of Brighton Beach, being the most coveted of the three, and finally in San Francisco (July 2006) with NORT (Dunk High), Huf (Air Max 90), and True (Air Humara). If anyone has all nine of the original Clerks Pack to call their own, many kudos for owning one of the most memorable ‘Pack’ releases in Nike history!

The phrase ‘J-Pack’ has been tossed around a bit more liberally in recent years, but even with wacky colors the meaning remains the same: we’re talking about the OG Air Jordan 1 blocking pattern. The AJ1s share their sole with 1985′s other smash hit Swooshed basketballer, and while they’ve crossed paths over in the SB division, this is the first time Nike Sportswear will take a crack at combining ’85′s most influential hightops. The Nike Dunk High will release later this year in red/black and royal/black styles borrowed from the Air Jordan 1, though the addition of a snake-textured suede Swoosh sets these apart from all previous ‘J-Pack’ efforts. Have a closer look after the jump, let us know how these compare to the SBs and OG AJ1s as well as the other FW12 Dunks we’ve previewed here on Sneaker News and check back with us for release info. via Dunkbar
