2012 was an incredibly great year for sneaker customizers, and if we had to choose one to stand above the rest, one strong candidate would definitely be the Air Jordan 1 “Brooklyn Zoo” put together by PMK Customs. Just ten pairs of these finely-crafted Air Jordan 1s released at UNKNWN in Miami, and of the limited amount of owners, two of ‘em have recognizable names – LeBron James and Jay-Z. Jay actually wore his pair a few times and was even spotted taking a picture of his own kicks while sitting courtside at a Nets game with Beyonce. Not only has a pair hit eBay, but this one features a super-limited Brooklyn Zoo wooden box made by GoodWood, and according to the seller, only three boxes were ever made. The Brooklyn Zoom customs might break records for this sneaker category in terms of selling price, so monitor this exciting auction buy tuning in to sneakeryetii on eBay.

Transforming this Air Jordan 1 with a plethora of animal skins like python, elephant, ostrich, and more, PMK rebuilds the Air Jordan 1 in supreme luxurious fashion that will rile up the exotic sneaker crowd and possibly enrage animal rights activists! The shoes will be limited to 10 units only and will release exclusively at the LeBron James-headed UNKNWN in Miami this November 7th.

The atmosphere around Baseball is becoming a lot more tense now that we’ve passed the All-Star Break, and so the NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds have the tough task of fending off the pesky Pirates and perennial contenders in the Cardinals in order to make their first Postseason appearance since 2010 (and their second overall since ’95).
