Nike 6.0 Zoom Leshot Premium LR - black/brown

This is my first pair of Nike 6.0 Leshots. @jdoohan copped these and two other pairs for me as a Valentine's Day 2012 gift. She bought three pairs which was too much but I appreciated it. This pair is my favorite of the bunch. They're RICH and clean.

The sole and midsole are pure white. Upper is in black suede with cocoa brown swoosh and heeltab in leather. The heel is darker brown leather and the lining is cocoa brown color similar to the swoosh and heel tab.

Nike Air Force 1 Low - Blue Suede

Definitely digging these Air Force 1s. They're a general release (GR) and one of three pairs that @jdoohan bought for me as a Valentine's Day 2012 gift.

The upper is fully blue suede that is so very buttery. Lining is a classic mesh AF1 lining in the same color blue. Laces are are also the same color as the upper. Heel tab and swoosh are in leather in the same color as the upper. Midsole and stitching are also the same color as the upper while the sole is a cool grey. Overall, the colorway is really luxurious, clean, and current. I can't wait to rock these.

Nike Air Force 1 Low "Grid Camo" Green

This is the third of three pairs that @jdoohan bought me for Valentine's Day 2012. These are pretty sweet I gotta admit. Another Air Force 1 general release (GR) but with a unique design. The colorway incorporates a "camo grid" that I haven't seen before on Nike kicks. It reminds me a little of something BAPE would do but the camo is more subtle than on other designs I've seen.

Starting from the bottom, the sole of these kicks is green. Midsole and stitiching are pure white with green branding on the side.  The complete toebox and the lace stays are smooth green leather.  Heel tab and swoosh are made of the same leather.  The mid panel and the heel panels are where the camo grid comes to life. I'm not sure what the material is. Something synthetic I'm pretty sure...  Cool kicks. So nice for Jen to pick them out. Her kicks selection skills continue to improve and I'm the lucky recipient.

Nike NSW Blazer Low VNTG QS - multi

Saw these a whole ago at @NikeSantaMonica but didn't cop at $75.  They're a quickstrike release from Nike's NSW collection. I like them because they're loud, super unique, and definitely retro. The colorway reminds me of fruit loops.  I didn't cop the first time I spotted them though.

Patience paid off as I bought them this week for only $43.  The colorway is multi-color suede with white laces, white swoosh, and a white midsole/sole that has a "vintage" treatment. Vintage treatment is basically a yellow coloring applied to the midsole to make it look older. I don't like it and may just wash it off. Kinda lame to go for such an artificial vintage look. It doesn't runi the shoe at all though. They will be perfect once I "de-vintage" them.

Nike Dunk Low Premium - NIKEiD "Denim Dunks"

I designed these kicks at Nike Santa Monica on one of the NIKEiD stations on January 21, 2012.  Went with a really clean look doing the entire upper in "binary blue" denim.  The stitching and sole are also binary blue and I added a classic white midsole to the design.
