Designed by Piet Parra, this Nike Air Max 1 “Amsterdam” sample is the first sample of the Capitol Series. These samples were actually rejected by Nike but a final version will be on it’s way! Even if you don’t like the shoe, you got to love the insoles and hopefully the insoles will make it to final version of the shoe.

Customized sneakers is another form of artistic output where the artist uses the shoe as a blank canvas. ST0404, a Singapore based artist, is one of those artists. ST0404 has been customizing for quite some time and this time he works with Frontallabs KNDG to create this brand new collaboration called “Statement”. The Nike Dunk used has been carefully re-designed and you can see the details such as the crocodile style skin on the side and the pink textured swoosh. Overall, another great custom by ST0404 and hopefully we’ll see more of these in the future.

On March 27th, 2005, Datmo, a Japanese cellphone maker, releases their P901i phone along with this limited Bathing Ape phone strap and cover. If my translation is correct, the Bathing Ape strap and cover is made by toy giant, Medicom. Comes in both pink and blue. Unfortunatly, no one else other than people in Japan will be able to use this as most Japanese cellphones can only be used in Japan.
