Hot sale Baysicc Designs Presents Black and Gold AF1s
Bayiscc Designs is back again with a pair of glittering Nike Air Force Ones. The design is a simple gold/black colorway split down the middle with alternating swoosh colors. The most noticeable aspect of these custom Air Force Ones is the glitter applied from heel to toe.
I have mixed feelings about these customs from Baysicc Designs. I loved the Baysicc’s custom AF1s with a Big Apple theme that I posted on earlier this month and I think the designer did a great job of keeping a clean demarcation between black and gold. I have a personal problem with the glitter that may not be shared by other sneaker fans. I think that the black/gold customs would have succeeded without the glitter as a simple two-color take on the Nike Air Force One.
I think that Baysicc Designs has done better work than these black/gold offerings in the past. These shoes could have stood on their own but I know plenty of other sneaker fans disagree with my assessment. Check out Baysicc Designs here and see how these Air Forces Ones fit into the designer’s past works.
The Nike Air Stab has just been released in a Glacier colorway for women which is very appealing. This shoe features grey and purple accents to the main silverish Glacier color. Ice blue is also used on the Swoosh and sole, while touches of light green are present in this shoe as well.
These shoes are available on ebay right now with a starting bid of $80 and they’ll be on shelves in stores soon.
The colors and textures blend well in this shoe. It’s subtle coloring is very good looking, particularly compared to some of the more loud colorways that are on the market right now. This is a great shoe for the ladies for spring. Get it on ebay now or look for it at a retailer near you soon.
The SBTG/Phu! feud continues today with my look at the Phantom Mirage Air Max 90s. Phu! created eight custom sneakers that will be pitted against SBTG’s Air Force Ones on March 30 in New York City. I covered SBTG’s customs in yesterday’s post but Phu! has won the Death from Above battle in my mind.
Both designers used World War II fighters as their motivation. SBTG’s Air Force Ones are left in the dust by the modern interpretation taken by Phu!. The Phantom Mirage has a snarling white mouth with green acid oozing outward from the toe box. The P77 stamp applied to SBTG’s customs is enhanced by Phu! who encases the stamp in green bombs.
Phu! has priced his eight Phantom Mirages at $550 USD to make the battle in NYC a fair fight on March 30. I think that Phu! will sell out more quickly than SBTG. The only thing I know is that I am jealous of the people who will get a pair of great customs despite the designer.
At Champs and other Nike retailers, you can find this new color scheme for the Nike Air Classic BW. It isn’t vastly different than other Nike Air Classic BWs, but it’s unique enough to be a noteworthy release. At around $90, this shoe is a good buy.
Black and white is used exclusively in this shoe. With a lot of mixing and matching of the colors, these kicks have somewhat of a zebra feel. The patent leather on the front portion of the shoes looks nice, as does the Nike Air logo on the tongue. If you want to add some color, switch out the white laces for some colored laces.
The premiere of the Death Seeker Air Force Ones from SBTG on March 30, 2008 has been billed as the next big thing in the custom sneaker world. This proclamation may come from SBTG via Nike Talk but the Death Seekers posted above and below look like they live up to the hype. SBTG has created eight pairs of the Death Seekers to be pitted against Phu! and their Phantom Mirage Air Max 90s (featured tomorrow).

SBTG used a World War II-era fighter as inspiration for its limited run of Death Seekers. You can see the fearsome shark’s teeth running the full width of each toe box in the picture below. The P77 logo shown on the heel is reminiscent of the call letters used on older fighters. The bullet silver paint used to bring these Air Force Ones back to the future is an awesome touch.
I love the camo print used on the Nike swoosh as well as the dog tags added to the shoe strings. SBTG is not giving away the Death Seekers at $500 USD but sneaker fans who have socked away some money should consider these shoes a worthwhile and once in a lifetime investment.
