For their 3rd artist collaboration of 2006, Mekanism invited German artist Katharina Grosse to create not one, but 100 limited-edition skateboards. The decks are individually painted with a spray gun, making each skateboard a unique, original piece of art.

We posted the Footscape wovens by Nike and The Hideout a couple days ago, and now here are some better images of them. The images once again show the beauty of the shoes and according to Journal Inc, “There will be less of one colour than the other, The Hideout logo is on limited pairs only…It is slated to be available late summer.”

I spotted this so-called Nike Classic Re-Cap sample on ISS Forum. They have a whole different look from the Nike Air Force 1, and it might be a combination of the Air Force 1 and the Air Classic just by looking at it. It definitely has a strong essense of an American theme from the colorway and the use of stars on the sneakers.

Take a look at these upcoming release of the Air Stab from Nike. A different approach of red suede, metalic silver, metalic gold and elephant print was used on the right shoe, and a gray tone suede with pattern lining on the left sneaker.

We all know that the CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 “Kiss of Death” brought a lot of hype to the sneaker community. Check out this never before seen sample that uses cement pattern on the back which was turned down by the CLOT crew. On the right is the Neighborhood x adidas Gazelle Vintage sample (release info here). It is slightly different than what will be released. The difference is the production version will have a yellowish vintage sole.
