I can’t wait for these to come out if they ever do come out! They are the Nike Air Force 1 “Sakura”. “Sakura” is the cherry blossom tree which is nicely lasered onto the shoe. This particular “UENO” version is a sample for the shoe store Mita Sneakers in Japan. “UENO” is a place in Tokyo where many of the sneaker shops are located.
edit: Apparently these were released in Japan yesterday rumored to be limited to only 500 pairs.
edit: More pictures at Alternative Sneakers. Damn I love the box!

I’m not a big fan of saving up coins because first, they’re heavy and second, they’re dirty. Now I’ll have an excuse to save up my coins with this new Baby Milo Piggy Bank. Even if you don’t use it as a piggy bank, it makes a nice display.
After you saved up enough coins, you can go get this newly released Bathing Ape Tee. On the front, the Bapesta logo has some cool interlacing effect applied to it. On the back, there’s a picture of a Bapesta shell toe sneaker.

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.
