Nikeid Creations

Nike has been one of the hottest shoe brands and one of my favorites for a while, and for good reason. They never fail to impress, rather by linking up with star athletes and hot artist, or releasing a never ending horde of colorways they come through.

Nikeid is a service provided by the Nike Incorporation allowing customers to customize everything from kicks to goodies purchased from Nike. You the customer can literally become the designer as you change and add a personal look and feel to a selected item. The service was started initially in 1999 and could only be accessed through their website, but has come a long way in the 11 years past.

But I'm sure most of you are already aware of Nikeid, I say that to say this. I thinking of placing an order myself for the very first (of hopefully many... Holla @ me Nike) Joe Rocken x Nike editions. So for the next 2 weeks I'll be designing new pair of kicks and bloging them to get you guys opinion. Here's the first set, I present to you the Air Jordan Alpha 1 and the Air Maxumus 1. What do you think? 

Nike Air Max 1 White/Electric Green-Pink

As of late I have really been liking the old school Air Max 1, I'm sure its because Nike has been releasing new colorways like ex-cons from the over crowded penal system. With the release of these watermelon  wonders, Nike is just in time for the summer.

A perfect combination of  gray suede on the upper top half compliments the electric green that wraps the base. Pink accents the tongue, forefoot, and eyelets, as well as the inside liner. To cap it all off, white mesh is added for the comfort  Air Max are known for. Look for these to drop soon, check back for more updates.

Phantaci x Nike Air Max 1 Grand Piano

Words by Nate Green

Taiwanese musician, and owner of Phantaci Jay Chou’s has teamed up with Nike yet again. In 08' the team created a version of the Air Max 1 that for whatever reason never saw the light of market. The two teams are back for a second time, and this time we will get a chance to see the outcome.

Chou, being a musician & mastering the Grand Piano, chose to go that route in the design of color and material in this Air Max 1. Hence the Ebony and ivory style colorway accented with Phantaci’s signature pink and finished off with a touch of gold on the heel panel. 400 limited pair will be dropping soon so keep an eye out, I know I will.
