Marok, the publisher and art director of Lodown Magazine will the the next global influencer to work with Nike on the 1World project. His Nike Air Force 1 Low uses ’supreme’ level materials including premium soft black leather in the toe area and heel and a dark obsidian canvas in the side panels, eyelets and swoosh. The sneaker is finished off in a nice clear white midsole and a icy orange outsole. Unfortunatley for most, Nort Berlin will probably be the only shop where these will be available. They will release December 13, 2008.

The Nike Sportswear flagship store will see the release of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “KRINK”, created for 1WORLD in partnership with New York artist Craig “KR” Costello.

“The Air Force 1 has been around for so long that my memories of it are simply as a shoe. Before all the hype and collectors… It has been a staple for decades and is a true iconic classic” said KR. “With that said, I wanted to keep things simple. The KRINK drip pattern is a trademark style of mine so I wanted to include it in this project. I selected reflective, as it is booming and unique.” And unique would be a great one word descriptor for this Nike Air Force 1 Low.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “KRINK” is the fifth shoe created in the US for 1WORLD, and joins Rasheed Wallace, KAWS, ?uest Love, and LaDainian Tomlinson as having had the chance to create their own version of the Air Force 1 as part of the 1WORLD collection. The Nike Air Force 1 Low “KRINK” will release exclusively at Nike Sportswear in NYC as well as other select retailers.

Inspired by the padded room of a Psychiatric institution the Air Crazy Force 1 features an upper constructed from white padded leather with white quilt-patterned stitching.

During the Spring of 2009 Nike SB is set to release a Nike Dunk Low SB tribute to the old Goofy Boy skater style. The Goofy Boys of the early 90s typically wore extremely long colored denim shorts with a equally long colored T-Shirt and a flipped up brim hat. Bringing that flavor to the Nike Dunk SB Low, the Nike Dunk SB Low “Goofy Boy” features a Purple denim trimmed upper with Orange nubuck at the toebox, mid panel, heel, and tongue. An illustration of a Goofy Boy appears on the footbed as well.

The Nike 1World campaign continues with the next Nike Air Force 1 Low. The Nike Air Force 1 Low 1World “Booba” is the result of a collab between Nike and rapper Booba.

The premium red leather uppers featuring unique graphics of tattoo artist Laura Satana, that sit atop of a clear sole, under which the flag of Senegal peers through. The color is a favorite of Booba, and Senegal reps half of his otherwise French heritage. One of the more subtle releases of the 1World campaign, but definitely nothing that will go unnoticed.

These will drop December 6th at Boulbi & Co in Boulogne, France. They are limited to 176 pair worldwide.

After recently giving you a look at the Nike 1World Krink Air Force 1, we give you a second look at the upcoming Nike Air Force 1 “LaDainian Tomlinson” out of the 1World series. The San Diego Chargers running back worked with Nike on a premium Nike Air Force 1, which comes with an exotic leather white upper and light blue accents. Overall certainly one of the cleanest looking Nike Air Force 1 ’s of the 1World project so far.

On Sunday, October 12, 100 pairs will hit San Diego streets, one week earlier than it’s launch date of October 17.

Blends and The Attic will be the exclusive San Diego doors, both selling 50 pairs each (of which 21 pairs each will be signed by L.T.). Shoes go on sale at 2pm.

Here is the latest Nike Air Force 1 WMNS that features a mixture of dope materials and colors. The upper uses a quilted leather that we have seen a lot of lately from Nike on the side panel of the shoe. The shoe uses a white base for the upper mixed with a Neutral Grey Swoosh and a Cayman outsole and collar. The quilted leather on the upper of the shoe is what really sets this pair of Nike Air Force 1 WMNS apart from the rest we have seen lately. You can pick these up in mid December at select Nike retailers.

Doernbecher Children’s Hospital has been working with Nike every year to help raise money to fund research and basic operations. Every year as you all know five shoes from the Doernbacher series drop and the money from those sales are contributed to the hospital. These were designed by Tony Taylor Jr., nicknamed Mr. Boober, who battled Nephrotic Syndrome and underwent a successful kidney transplant at the hospital.

Jayson Mayden and Estelle Maranan guided Tony with his vision of the project and the inspirations took inspiration from the very experiences of his life.

These are the second Nike Air Jordans to be part of the Doernbecher Freestyle project. Last year we saw the Nike Air Jordan 2 “Doernbecher”.

This shoe will release November 14th along with four other Doernbecher children designed shoes.
