It seems like nearly every Nike Air Footscape is some kind of special release and this one is no exception. The latest contribution from Hiroshi Fujiwara, the two new pairs of Nike Air Footscape HFs pictured above opt for a simple take on the shoe with the slanted lacing. There’s one in electrolime with grey, black and white accents, while a mostly black pair has the same grey toe and white midsole, but gets most of its flair from the turquoise heel strap. Both will hit Tier Zero accounts sometime in June.

Yesterday you saw the amazing Nike Dunk Hi FLOM “Futura” that was created as a part of the Lance Armstrong x Nike Sportswear LIVESTRONG Stages Collection. That sample was available for bid, but both will drop in July to coincide with the annual Tour de France, rebranded as the LIVESTRONG Greatest Hits Pack. Just as Futura’s effort was a reprisal of a legendary collabo from his past, this Nike Air Force 1 Low “Mister Cartoon” offers a black and yellow glimpse at the past inside the present. This time around, the details have been laser-etched, including a spider webbed toe and Los Angeles cityscape plus flowy lines on the side panels. The Swoosh is a smooth gradient from black to yellow that inverts the transition between side and rear panels, while an ‘LA’ embroidery on the rear quarter completes the look.

Especially after getting a look at the wild Nike Air Force 1 Low Bespoke “Makoto” Elephant Print, the question of whether or not the use of the classic pattern had become excessive, but when given the option to use it, we understand why it would be hard to pass up. The latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke to make a name for itself is this fresh new concoction from Brian A. Ruffin. Because of the grey Elephant Print heel, the shoe bears a slight resemblance to the Plus41 x Grotesk Bespoke, but there are plenty of other touches added to give the shoe its own personality.

The Elephant Print heel section is met by a medium grey midpanel and a solid white toe box and eyelet section. A black midsole, accents and waxed laces are also included, but it’s the transparent ice outsole and the red stripe and “AIR” logo that give this Nike Air Force 1 Low some real thoughtful style points. We will keep you posted on the latest in Bespoke happenings, and in the meantime create your own Bespoke model.

Originally released back in 1988, Nike the Air Jordan 3 (III) in “White/Cement-True Blue” was among the first Jordans released in a colorway other than black, red and white.
