My design for these kicks was inspired by the special snakeskin leather material, the design of the Supreme SB Dunk and Air Force 1 quickstrikes, and Machinima's black/red color pallette. I really like the way they look onscreen. The sole is cool grey and the midsole is wrapped in cool grey snakeskin print leather. The stitching on the midsole is in varsity red. The tip, eyestay, and heel are all varsity red snakeskin print leather. The base, tongue, and the quarter are cool grey nubuck. The lining is cool grey nylon and the laces are cool grey too. The swoosh and heel tab are black nubuck and I went with Nike Air branding on the heel instead of something custom. The branding is embroidered in cool grey.
Thanks to Jennifer and my in-laws for birthday gift cards that funded these NIKEiDs! I designed and ordered this pair on February 2 and they arrived from the factory on March 19, 2013. How do you like them? Let me know in the comments.

This is pair number 1 of 7 in my 2013 Kicksmas extravangaza. @jdoohan picked thee out for me at Nike Santa Monica. I saw them with her and said they were cool but didn't cop. She remembered and went back later for them. This is my first pair of foamposite Air Force 1s. They look like they're from space. Really cool kicks....they're heavy but they look great.

This is pair number 2 of 7 for Kicksmas 2013. It is a cool colorway for a Nike SB Dunk Low general release. I put this pair on my Christmas list for Christmas 2013 and @jdoohan bought them for me but there was a shipping mistake so I got this pair early. I love the medium mint as a base color. Looks great.

I copped these from CCS.com on Black Friday 2012 along with a Nike SB sweatshirt. Koston Ones are a great shoe. This red/white general release is a pretty classic colorway. I don't have many red kicks and these were at a deep discount on CCS.com so I grabbed them. Interestingly, these Koston Ones do not have Nike SB branding. I've heard the Nike SB brand was coming off of Kostons but this is the first pair I've owned since they dropped the "SB".

These black denim Air Force 1s were released at the same time as the "XXX White Pearl" pair that I copped. They are part of the 2012 Air Force 1 30th anniversary celebration. The Black Denims sold out the night of release (March 3) and I was unable to cop at retail even though I wanted to. It all worked out though because I found a pair in my size @NikeSantaMonica on April 29 ON SALE.
I love the colorway of these kicks. 100% black denim upper and black denim midsole! In addition to the denim, these details: black piping, black tongue tag, black waxed laces, and a dark grey sole. The heel tab, heel stripe, and lining are all black leather. This shoe and all the "XXX" quickstrikes have a beautiful custom pearlized dubrae with "XXX" on it as well as pearlized white lace tips, a custom XXX insole, and special XXX box. Check out the photos below and let me know what you think in the comments. Enjoy!
