Nike Air Max LeBron VII Artist Series Chicago | Jeff Zimmermann

To clear this upfront, these are not pictures of an upcoming new colorway of New Air Max LeBron VII.

They were handed to LeBron as a gift by Jeff Zimmerman in Chicago. Jeff Zimmerman, is a Chicago based artist known for his large scale murals and portraits.

With this re-worked Nike Air Max LeBron VII, he captured several things like LeBrons positive energy, the city of Chicago and the idea of “experience, plus practice and hard work, make us who we are” into one piece of Sneaker-Art.

The kicks feature an eclectic mix of details: stars on the toe box, LeBron’s arm holding a ball on the right and a hot dog on the left toe box and black and white combined laces just to name a few.

Take a look at this beautiful sneaker after the jump and share your thoughts!

Onitsuka Tiger Fabre 74 x Tokidoki

Here we have the Onitsuka Tiger Fabre 74, or Fastbreak 74, mid cut in a “Tokidoki” graphical design. A must have for all fans of the “Tokidoki” comic/graphic design works.

The shoe is made of purple to turquoise fading patent leather on the toe box as well as on the ankle and strap. The side panel comes in light blue suede with the Onitsuka Tiger logo in pink patent leather on it. There are Tokidoki characters stitched on the ankle collar and prints on the heel as well as midsole. Even on the inner lining, insole and the sole it is all about Tokidoki.

After inspecting this shoe one can not surpress the thought that this rather should have been a Tokidoki x Onitsuka collabo than the other way around.

Never the less this is a fine piece of sneaker art – more for people daring fashion tastes.

Seen at Schuh-Yo for 100 euros.
