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

SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR GRIFFEY MAX 1 "FRESHWATER"

A confusing shoe, this pair shares a nickname with another, more well-known pair that released earlier thanks to the colorway.  Still, these have a completely different look than the other Freshwaters and were nearly as anticipated when they dropped.  If you still have trouble telling them apart, you can also refer to these as Emeralds due to the larger distribution of the Freshwater blue color on the uppers.

AIR JORDAN I PHAT "OBSIDIAN"

Add a silver swoosh and these look kind of like the navy 2001 retro of the AJ1.  These, however, feature the thicker tongue padding associated with all "Phat" models.  Beware of near-instantaneous toebox crease-age when throwing these on for the first time.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2011
STYLE CODE: retail
MATERIALS: White leather and blue suede uppers.  The Air Jordan "wings" logo is stitched on in white.
COMES WITH:  Blue laces.
STREET VALUE: retail

WDYWT - AIR JORDAN I "HARE"

AIR JORDAN I "HARE"

These Jordans pay tribute to the Air Jordan VII Hare, which is a colorway of the 7 that Bugs Bunny wore in a Nike commercial.  They feature a colorful AJVII-styled tongue and air holes near the eyelets, a bunny instead of a Jumpman on the tongue tag, and read "HARE" above the Jumpman on the rear of the shoe.  The box also says Hare Jordan on the tag.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2009
STYLE CODE:  374454 011
MATERIALS: These have a suede and leather upper with a neoprene tongue.
COMES WITH:  White flat laces.
STREET VALUE: $200
