AIR FORCE 1 ID

The original Brainwreck dunk high sb's killed my feet, so even though I liked them, I wound up selling them off.  I still wanted the colorway - enter this AF1 ID based off the color scheme of the original Todd Bratrud-designed dunks.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2012
STYLE CODE:  444758 999
MATERIALS:  Leather and suede uppers with a textured swoosh
COMES WITH:  I ordered these with blue and grey laces.  They also included a hangtag
STREET VALUE:  N/A

AIR MAX 1 ID "MIAMI"

Sometimes, basing an ID off of an existing colorway has less to do with being able to afford the shoe that serves as the inspiration and more to do with getting a better quality product.  I've owned the Miami Dolphin sb's, even posting them to this blog on multiple occasions, but the quality of Brazil-exclusive releases is consistantly lacking.  My solution?  Create these AM1s in a similar colorway but made out of better materials!
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2012
STYLE CODE: 433213 997
MATERIALS: The white parts are mesh, the rest is denim except the swoosh which is suede.
COMES WITH:  A special box and paper with blue and orange flat laces.
STREET VALUE: priceless

DUNK LOW ID "ROBOT PIGEON"

Not being a baller can put a hurting on a sneakerhead's quest to afford the most expensive and exclusive kicks, but that doesn't mean we can't get similar colorways at an affordable price.  Today I'm reviewing my Nike ID attempt at recreating the hard-to-find Pigeon SB Dunk Lows.  The aforementioned dunks have a two-toned grey approach and the only lighter grey available on ID was metallic platinum, hence the silvery look on the toebox, side panels and upper rear.  Shouts out to Emil Manlutac on facebook for the idea on naming these - the metallic look DOES give these Pigeons a robotic look!
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2012
STYLE CODE:  533128 991
MATERIALS: The entire upper is smooth and metallic leather.
COMES WITH:  White and platinum flat laces.
STREET VALUE: Priceless.

AIR MAX 1 ID "HEINEKEN"

AIR MAX 1 ID "HEINEKEN"

Don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a classic colorway?  Redo them on Nike ID for a fraction of the cost!  I always wanted a pair of Heineken sb dunks but felt that the cost of a deadstock pair was a bit too extreme.  Enter these ID'd AM1s, which while not exactly the same, strongly evoke the original.  Plus, these have denim!
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2012
STYLE CODE: 433213 997
MATERIALS: The white parts are mesh, the rest is denim
COMES WITH:  A special box and paper with black and red flat laces.
STREET VALUE: $150

AIR FORCE 1 ID "SOUTH BEACH"

I'm borderline about to stop buying new releases altogether and start making Nike ID's all the time.  The materials are better and I get a truly unique shoe, unless someone goes so far as to copy my design directly.  Here we have a pair that I customized based off of the Lebron 8 South Beach colorway, but I wanted to have options, so the only pink is on the laces.  If I swap to white, black, or blue laces instead, the look is transformed completely.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2012
STYLE CODE: 444758 998
MATERIALS: The uppers are all smooth leather.
COMES WITH: I got these with infrared and chlorine blue laces, both have metal tips.  I've swapped them out here for hot pink to complete the SB look.  These also include a special shoebox and paper along with the AF1 certificate of authenticity.
STREET VALUE: priceless
