Having dabbled in sneaker-design in the past with the likes of Reebok, Leaders1354 dropped their latest project over the weekend with the release of their Nike Huarache 2K8. Limited to 24 pairs for top customers and friends & family, the sneaker was inspired by the current popularity in sneakers from high-fashion brands as they wanted something simple, elegant yet also featuring a distinct break-neck factor to them. They settled on the use of a silver color to represent mercury, one of the six liquid elements on the periodic table of elements.

    They must have the 24 gayest top customers ever. I would figure the list to look like this.
    1. Rupaul
    2.Little Richard
    3.Clay Aiken
    4.Richard Simmons
    5.Liberace
    and the list goes on. Those are truly wack.
