Nike Air Force 1: 30 Years of Force Popsicle Mold

During tinkering phases in the development of Nike‘s Lunarlon sole, designers from Nike Innovation Kitchen increased stability in the mold by freezing it. After adjusting their approach to this new form of sneaker technology, the end result indicated that experimentation from the Beaverton camp was a key part of their innovative creations. While availability at a retail level may not be slated, Nike has commemorated one of the brand’s more surprising yet important research landmarks by immortalizing the iconic Air Force 1 sole in Popsicle form.

Capping off a year of wonderful Lomography releases, these Gold Edition cameras return to the Lomo Shopjust in time for Christmas.

atmos x New Balance 996 “FACE OFF 3”

Japanese retailer atmos has teamed up with New Balance for the third in their “Face Off” series of collaborative shoes, this time reconsidering New Balance’s ever-popular CM996 model. For this rendition of the shoe, atmos took advantage of various materials that change colors when exposed to ultraviolet rays. The result is a variable palate of colors that force the wearer to observe the dual nature of things. Always conceptually strong, the shoe’s form is completed by custom-designed graphics on the tongue and insoles. This collaboration also includes a T-shirt and sweatshirt, all of which are available on atmos’ web store

Subcrew x Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star

Converse teams up with Hong Kong-based Subcrew to produce a special brick-red Chuck Taylor All-Star. In addition to the white rubber outsole and the matching red eyelets threaded with round laces, Subcrew’s logo appears near the hi-top’s heel. Easily the most distinguishing feature of these hi-tops is the Common Projects-esque code stamped as “23 1 20 19 3 2012″ on the tongue as well as inside the upper of the shoe. Decrypted, the alphabetical code is interpreted as “We Are The Sub Crew 2012.” The launch of theshoes will be celebrated on November 26, with the shoes themselves hitting retail on November 30 at a cost of $1,100 HKD (approximately $142 USD). They can found at the Harbour City Converse Store, Dahood andUnity Pop-Up in Hong Kong, and at Unity in Macau
