An entire white sole with a mostly white upper plus a dash of black patent leather is the perfect mixture of materials for a top notch Nike Dunk with enough clout to be labeled gangster.

Nike Air Yeezy

The Air Yeezy is what you get when you when the CEO of Nike gives KanYe West creative control over the design aspects of a new shoe. The shoe is inspired by Ye's zest for high top designer shoes and Air Jordans. The shoes also combine several different textiles including full grain leather along the heel, suede on the toe and midfoot and patent leather for the midfoot strap. As an ode to his Glow in the Dark tour, the outsole actually glows in the dark just like your rave staple glow stick. The shoes remain at the concept level and are not planned to be released.

Back From the Future

Nike began the "Back to the Future" design craze when they launched the Hyperdunk 2015 (above) nicknamed the "McFly." The craze continued when the original owner of the Nike Mag (middle) posted one of the shoes on eBaythat sold for $5,300. The Nike Mag was a full working prop that was inteneded to be used in the movie but the scene never materialized. The name comes from the magnetic properties the shoe was desinged to have. The complimentary Mattel Hover Board that was seen in the movie was also posted on eBay auditioning at $30,000. The board is unfunctional but is made from wood and metal and has a texturized paint job.
