DUNK HIGH "VILLANOVA"

Learn more about the Villanova dunk highs

DUNK HIGH "VILLANOVA"

No, these are not the SB's, and no, they didn't come with a keychain, but the white/navy colorway on a dunk is immediately reminiscent of the Villanova college colorway.  These actually came out a year before the BTTYS dunk sb version.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2004
STYLE CODE: 309432 141
MATERIALS: All leather uppers
COMES WITH:  White and navy flat laces
STREET VALUE: $125

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

AIR JORDAN V "GRAPE"

AIR JORDAN V "GRAPE"

Will Smith used to rock these on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.  Need I say more?  This retro colorway has continued to be one of the most sought after AJV's to ever release and gets its name from the colorway.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2006
STYLE CODE: 314259 131
MATERIALS: The uppers are all leather.
COMES WITH: My pair came with white laces and purple/clear lacelocks.
STREET VALUE: $325-500

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"

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 "YEAR OF THE DRAGON 2"

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!
