Livestock recently released an all new pair of Safari Air Max 1’s. These Air Max 1’s feature a yellow and white upper alongside a leopard print toe box and collar. This pair seems to have the least cohesiveness amongst all the recent Safari Air Max releases due to the yellow and white upper and the red swoosh.
Since this sneaker first hit the internet, very little information was known. However, Sneaker Freaker has totally changed the aura surrounding these Nike Dunk Low SB’s. Dubbed the C-Mon & Kypski’s, these sneakers represented an ongoing task between Nike SB and the Dutch band C-Mon & Kypski to create a sneaker that truly reflected this band of skating musicians. It is difficult to classify C-Mon & Kypski due to their revolving chameleon style that yields a different and unique style of play.
The shoe’s colorway represents their latest album art “Where the Wild Things Are”, with insole art attributed to their first logo of a turntable and a brain. The embroidered graph design on the heel once thought to be that of a seismograph is actually derived from a music wave and a VU-meter. This design can actually be seen in an upcoming song releasing June 7th on their website.
On June 7th, the very first batch of these C&K Dunk’s will release at E-zone, a skate shop in Utrecht, Holland which has served as sponsors to C&K. The first 50 lucky buyers will be rewarded with a limited edition Nike SB x C&K t-shirt as well. As mentioned before this is an Asia and Europe exclusive only that will go down June 11th.
