Nike Air Force 1 "Closing Ceremony" Edition

The 2008 Beijing Olympics reached a glorious conclusion this Sunday and Nike of course, did not allow it to pass without leaving a strong mark in both Sports and Fashion history. This is perhaps why they released the commemorative pair of Air Force 1 – shiny, gold-like, sneakers of the champs that perfectly fit Olympic glory.

The new shoe is fashioned in bright metallic gold. To pay respect to the China where the 2008 Olympics is held, there is a Chinese motif in the upper part of the sneakers. The body of the golden sneakers is imbued with intricate abstract designs. The designs are pretty much what you can see in the columns and roofs of traditional famous Chinese templates.

Get the Nike Air Force 1 and you will have it packed in a classic black 08/08/08 box. The shoe is available starting August 25. I just hope they’ll make one specifically designed for the new Dream Team!

Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. Complex Magazines and Videos

It’s a wild treat from a two superstars. Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. cooked up something great on a separate dish, that’s all thanks to Complex Magazine. The two stars bang up in a hip and stylish cover featuring art contributions from KAWS and Todd James.

KAWS’ popular Bendy served as the background for N.E.R.D.’s three members in a looney design! And yeah, scroll down for the pictures later and drool over Pharell’s cool shades.

Todd James on the other hand gave an out of this world background to Lupe Fiasco. And you can take that literally as Lupe poses like throwing a glass of cold water from outer space.

If you guys aren’t solved with the magazine covers, then maybe the videos could satisfy you. The videos feature the artists on a total shop-mode, some poses, backstage and behind the scene short shots and a lot of other things that would tell you these guys really know how to rock (as if you don’t already know that)!

Nike Dunk High SB - Marge Simpson

It’s sneakers featuring the mom in the greatest American family on TV – the Simpsons! You read it right; it’s Marge Simpson in a Nike Dunk High Premium SB!

If you love series and you love sneakers, you’ll definitely love this one. The pair features the colors of Marge Simpson - blue suede representing Marge’s famous hair, the vibrant yellow is for her skin color and of course the green swoosh is from Marge’s famous green dress. Wear this and the whole of Springfield will envy you!

Now if you’re looking for a shoe that has Marge’s face on it, we are sorry to say this shoe doesn’t give you that. Marge Simpson served as the inspiration for the design of the shoe, and that’s obvious with the choice of colors: heavy blue, green & blue! This hot sneaker represents what Marge’s sneakers would have been if she decided to play "cool" mom in Springfield.

It’s quite ironic however that this shoe inspired by the all American favorite mom is available in Asia and Pacific.

Garni’s Summer 2008 Heritage Collection

Garni’s Summer 2008 Heritage collection carries the unique trademark of skull rings. A rare marriage of gothic and classy accessories, these Japanese metalworks has the ability to give your exclusive and elegant fashion character.

The collection comprises a wide variety of objects, from salt and pepper shakers, to earrings, rings and pendants. It may be a rare combination of things but what’s even rarer is the combination of the materials, color and the object itself.

Silversmith experts and contemporary designers worked together to produce these unique fashion items.

One can have so many options to choose from. There is a skull ring that is made of heavy silver and coated with a ceramic material. The ancient pillar salt and pepper shaker looks exclusive for the real fashion addicts. The necklaces look dashing in combination with different chains. The skull ring that is available in different colors and designs redefines the image of the mark of death.

This can be your next most priced possession next to your wedding ring. This should be a must have for any Jordan collector. No piece of collectible that is purely dedicated to MJ’s 6 year championships is as prestigious and as exclusive as this.

This Jordan Brand 6 Rings Pendant is really meant for the die-hard Jordan fans. Why? You can’t expect a collectible such as this to be affordable, but of course, that won’t be an issue to people who wants their surnames replaced with “Jordan”.

The collection is composed of a gold ring pendant embroidered elegantly with the trademark Jumpman logo as well as a special card that outlines his airness’ championship achievements in his career. There is also a small black pouch bag with MJ’s name printed on it.

There is no information yet as to when will this be released. Until then, I’ll stick to my AJ sneakers.

Nike Air Yeezy Sneaker

Nike Air Yeezy is truly one of the most controversial shoes to date. The web is buzzing about this kicks which Kayne wore at the Grammy’s and his Glow in the Dark Tour. Not a surprise, if you’re Kayne West and you wear a never before seen shoe on a Grammy night and a grand concert, everyone will talk about it!

If you’re still wondering why the Nike Air Yeezy is the talk of the street, then it means you haven’t seen the shoes – up close and in detail. Lucky for you, we already did. For one, this shoe may look like an old school kicks given a present twist!

An examination of this grey suede, purple patent leather, and a carrot midsole will tell you that this shoe is a fusion of many shoe rack classics! All of which are Kayne’s favourite.

If shoes can breed, and if Ato Cow Hide Boot, Bape Roadsta and Air Jordan III would be the parents, Kayne West’s Nike Air Yeezy would be the offspring!

It is not clear as of now as to when will this shoe be publicly released, but we got something a lot more certain, Nike Air Yeezy is definitely perfect for his violet UniverseCity Jacket!

Kanye West's UniverseCity Jacket

Kanye West has become a massive fashion icon of our time. It seems everything he touches turns to "gold".

The jacket features Murakami's artwork on the back and can be expected to be released under Kanye's much anticipated clothing line "Pastelle".
There is no word on availability or price. Only time will tell.
