Air Jordan Fly 23 release now

The Air Jordan Fly Wade released this year to quite a bit of much deserved fanfare. Another shoe that also was set to release but didn’t was the Air Jordan Fly 23.  Based on the striking similarities and the fact that the Air Jordan Fly 23 is still set to release at some point we can’t help but to wonder what exactly is its relationship to Dwayne Wade’s signature shoe? In this image you can see the sneaker’s build is composed of several materials including carbon fiber, suede and some sort of synthetic material.Not too many details are known about the sneaker other than its name for now but stay tuned for updates.

Nike Dunk High Hyperfuse & Air Force One High Hyperfuse Preview

The Nike Dunk High Hyperfuse sports a two-tone color blocking that gives the sneakers a bit of pop and really plays into the unique qualities of the Hyperfused upper well. The Nike Air Force One however comes in a one tone upper that features some pretty interesting colors. These new models are set to release to select retailers in July and there will probably be more colorways hitting shelves than pictured.
Later this year expect to see some of your favorite Nike’s lose a bit of weight thanks to a Hyperfused upper. Two models that we have seen before are the Nike Dunk High Hyperfuse and the Nike Air Force One High Hyperfuse and here is a better look at both.

The sneaker is set to make its grand return for the first time in years sometime in February and we can already hear the excited squeals of Jordan fans.

This also ultimately means that we can expect the sneaker to release in a number of other colorways throughout the year. We are certainly excited to see them make their return next year but are you?

The Nike Air Max LeBron 8 V2 Low is shaping up to be a very impressive silhouette. First seen a few months back, the model has been revealed in two brightly colored colorways that have taken the sneaker world by storm. Seen here is the “Solar Red” colorway of the sneaker that continues to look brighter in every new image we see. The solar red upper blends well with the synthetic and Flywire construction and also brings out the detailing in the mesh tongue.

Designed for the runner but styled for the streets, look for the CM1700 to release in the near future.

The SNEAKHYPE Air Force 1 “La Madre De Dios”

Any day is a good day for a Bespoke, and so we start you off this afternoon with a Nike Air Force 1 by SneakHype. Dubbed the “La Madre De Dios”, the model features a black snake skin upper, white midsole, and a lime green outsole. Fortunately for us, the boys over at SneakHype pay attention to the details, and we see it with the lime green stitching that matches the lime green layer beneath the neon Nike Swoosh. Black laces sits comfortably above the lime green tongue; which itself serves as a backdrop to the snake-skin tongue tag. How does this model rank in your Bespoke gallery?
