AIR FORCE 1 ID "SOUTH BEACH"

Last time I rocked the AF1 ID South Beach, I had in hot pink laces.  This time I swapped the laces to a similar-yet-different infrared shade.

AIR FORCE 1 "YEAR OF THE DRAGON 2"

Here we have a second version of the YOTD AF1s, certainly more colorful and eye-catching than their black and white predecessors.  From the scale print on the suede parts of the upper to the prints on the tongue and insole to the Chinese characters on the back, the shoe really takes in a lot of elements of the dragon theme and is said to be based on Chinese dragon boats.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2012
STYLE CODE: 539771 670
MATERIALS: The blue parts are leather, the red parts are a dragonscale-textured suede, the swoosh is metallic gold-painted leather, the tongue is a cloth basketweave and the midsole is wrapped in leather.
COMES WITH:  These come with a special pull out box with a dragon-imprinted plastic outer-wrap, a "XXX" set of lacelocks to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the AF1, a blue set of laces and a red set.
STREET VALUE: $200.  I got my pair from Bows and Arrows in Berkeley!

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
