The German festival of Oktoberfest is known the world over by beer lovers who drink until their hearts are content. The festival has been translated in to sneaker from my Nike with these pair of Air Max Limited 2. The kicks feature premium leather (same leather like the Lederhosen) and elements on the kicks, which represent Bavarian culture. The kicks will see a limited run of 3,000 sneakers, which will only be available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Release will be on the 31st August 2007!

The historical background:
The first Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen.
The festivities began on October 12, 1810 and ended on October 17th with a horse race.
In the following years, the celebrations were repeated and, later, the festival was prolonged and moved forward into September based on the better weatherconditions.

It’s times like these that its great to be a lady rockin’ sneakers, especially when the beloved Nike Air Stab drops in so many dope colour ways. First up the varsity red/pink/blue/maize stab is such a neck breaker.

Also dropping is the ever-hot teal/champagne colour way for all those stylin girls that like to be understated. The combination of colours is a winner! And lastly the awesome Rainbow stab with the freshest multicoloured sole. It’s like rockin’ a Rubiq Cube on ya feet.

We will keep you up to date as soon more infos are available.

Are these fakes or possible concepts of a special upcoming release from Nike Skateboarding? NSB.org states that there is some confirmation of a possible release during the Holiday season later this year. The sneakers take popular Nike Dunk SB and mashed them into one pair of shoes. The insole says “What the Dunk”. Crazy/ugly, whatever - but cool at the same time.
