British illustrator David Brownings has used nothing more than colored construction paper, glue, and an X-Acto knife to create beautiful paper replicas of Nike sneakers. The amount of detail that went into making these shoes is really quite amazing. From far away, these definitely look like the real deal. I love ‘em. [read more…]
End of the year lists are one thing that I always look forward to seeing each December, during that special period of time between the magic and nostalgia of Christmas and the drunken debauchery of New Year’s Eve. We here at Jetcomx wanted to put together a special list; not just a list of best artists or best songs. We wanted to highlight the best, most interesting, and creative music videos from the year 2008. After intense scrutiny and deliberation, the crew and I have finally thrown together our version of the 10 Best Music Videos of 2008. Enjoy! [read more…]
Leaders of the Boston-area sneaker elite, Concepts, teamed up with Nike Sportswear and DJ Clark Kent, to serve a more than generous offering for the sole that is guaranteed to give sneaker heads something to be thankful for well after the holidays have ended.
The Black Friday Nike Air Force 1, personally designed by sneaker enthusiast DJ Clark Kent (not to be confused with a “collector”), has redefined and reintroduced the term “classic” in relation to this popular Nike style. The shoe is, as Clark Kent described at today’s Concepts drop, “a fly luxury shoe without the luxury price tag”. The sneaker’s details include black pony hair, lenticular material, black patent leather, and a rainbow candy sparkle sole. We’re willing to bet that Clark’s impressive 1,800 pairs of Air Force 1′s, which are part of his massive 2,200+ sneaker arsenal didn’t hurt the chances of his design making it into production.

Whenever someone wants a fly pair of sneakers, the default shoes everyone tends to look for are Nike Dunks. Dunks will always be stylish, but why not switch things up a bit and go for a fly pair of Nike Terminators? Compared to Dunks, the shape of the Terminator High Supremes is narrower and more fitted. The Terminators still have the typical oversized look of Nikes, but have a less bulky appearance than Dunks. The style makes me think of a riced out pair of Vans high tops. [read more…]
It’s been reported from NikeSB.org that the entire Spring 2009 Nike SB catalog has been leaked. This is greatnews for sneakerheads who have been anticipating this release. Included in these pictures is the brand new Low-Cut Zoom Air Veloce, as well as the P-Rod IIs, Blazers, Blazer Hybrids, and Dunk Highs, Lows & Mids. The hottest, though, definitely have to be the white canvas Mids. Check out the entire gallery after the jump. [read more…]
Street art is something that has always captured my interest for a whole host of reasons, the main being that it often brings to light injustice prevalent within society. Street artist Banksy is often known to point out blatant hypocrisy within British society with his provocative works of art. The portfolio of Chennai based photographer Sharad Haksar, though, brings the concept of street art to a whole new level. [read more…]
So even though the Piet Mondrian edition of the Nike Dunk Low SB’s have been out for a while, I’m still in love with them. The simplicity of these Dunks is a characteristic that sets them apart from the herd. Following in the artistic style of Piet Mondrian, these Dunks make use of black, white, yellow, blue, and red in a very minimalistic style. In case you were wondering, Mondrian was a Dutch painter from the early 20th century who helped pioneer a movement known as neoplasticism. Specifically, his painting Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red is what the shoes are modeled after. [read more…]
Today is the longest day of the year. It marks the beginning of summer. It also marks the release of the third installment of Nike’s Greatest Hits summer collection. With its bold safari pattern, the “Keep Rippin Stop Slippin” edition of Air Max Ones definitely sets itself apart from the crowd. Following in the footsteps of the Safari Air Force one, Nike designers decided to don this Air Max One with the same leopard print and supple leather.
