Michael Lau and Nike have collaborated together to create the “Psychiatric Ward”. This is the Nike Air Crazy Force 1 sneaker and toy. The shoe uses the Air Force 1 comes as a quilted upper. It has some laser customizations. The quilted lattice is special as at joint of every square, there is an extra design, like a lock, at the joint.

The white shoe lace leads the way up to the tip of the tongue, which shows a number in gold colored paint. That is supposed to be the number of the psychiatric ward. The heel of the shoe has some stencilled lines to indicate the counting of days. Supposedly, in a psychiatric ward or prison, where there are no calendars, the inmates used the bunches of five lines to count away the days. The white midsole and outsole complete the look of the shoe.

The toy that comes with the shoe is a statue of a psychiatric ward patient. The statue has cunning eyes, seemingly trying to cook up a scheme to get free of the strait jacket. The toy comes in white and an extra color black for its hair. This Michael Lau & Nike Air Crazy Force One Pack will be released during the weekend of November 22-23.

You might have heard of this upcoming release, but now here’s some clean, detailed images of the upcoming collaboration between XLarge and Vans on the Sk8 Hi.

These shoes feature a black suede upper and a multi-colored XLarge print. The laces come in every color that’s on the sneakers. The stark white midsole are a great contrast to the rest of the shoes.

You can get these kicks beginning on December 12th. Via High Snobiety.

HelloDesign turned an off-white pair of Converse All Stars into a fun twist on Mickey Mouse. Mickey’s 80th birthday has recently passed and HelloDesign seems to have taken on the innocent image of the cartoon character with these shoes. I found these photos at HelloDesign’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The right shoe has an image of Mickey Mouse smiling with pointy vampire teeth. The look in Mickey’s eyes portends more mischief than fun but HelloDesign does a good job of playing with the character without going over the edge. The interior of the left shoe features the words Walk Disney in the familiar cursive font of Walt Disney.

While the blank canvas of the Converse All Stars is an easy mark for custom artists, HelloDesign didn’t waste space with abstract designs and bright colors. The Mickey Vampire Converse All Stars are fairly simple but the designer’s irreverent take on an iconic image is appreciated.

The Jordan 1 High Straps will be making there way into stores today, releasing in three different color ways. First is a predominantly black color way, next is a white, black and red color way. Last but not least the somewhat highly anticipated breds. Why pay upwards of $250 for the 2001 retro when these (look alikes) are only $110. If you haven’t already, run to your local Jordan Brand accounts, they will go quick.

Check out this grey colorway of the Nike Verona Slip-On. These leisurewear shoes are sleek and simple.

Featuring a waterproof upper with brown accents, the Verona maintains a very clean aesthetic. These shoes are popping up at some retailers, including Babekub City. If you like keeping things simple - very simple - then these shoes may be a good choice for you. Via Hypebeast.

Zach Randolph, of the New York Knicks, has a new shoe designed for him. The shoe has a blue patent leather for the toe box and heel. The toe box extends up to form the tongue of the shoe. The toe box and tongue have perforations in neat rows. This is a unique feature that is not commonly found in other shoes. The first pair of shoe lace holes has a small, neat looking lace lock.

The midsection of the shoe is black leather with the silhouette of the skyscraper skyline of New York. The Nike swoosh is blue and outlined in orange. The orange highlights brighten the shoe as can be most obviously seen with the midsole. The heel has black and blue leather segments. Zach Randolph’s nickname, Z-Bo, is embroidered in white thread on the blue leather near the bottom of the heel. At the back tab, Nike is embossed in orange lines into the blue leather.

This edition of Zach Randolph PEs was released on Nov. 18, at Footlocker’s House of Hoops in New York. Each pair sells for $130. It is a great looking shoe.

Sole Junkie Customs customized a pair of Nike Dunk Highs recently in honor of Frank Cooper III, the vice president of marketing for Pepsi-Cola North America. These sneakers feature some fun details including a nice image of Mr. Cooper and powerful green lines around the eyelets. These photos were found on Sole Junkie’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

The base colors for the FC3 Dunk Highs are Mountain Dew green and Pepsi Blue to represent the products promoted by Mr. Cooper. On the back heel, Cooper’s face is set against a black background and surrounded by soda bubbles popping up from an outside source. Sole Junkie does a great job of blending these disparate elements including some great fading from the eyelets to the toe box.

Sole Junkie puts a nice finish on the FC3 Dunk Highs with a three-dimensional FC3 logo on the heel, tongue and insoles. The black/white logo stands out well against the blue/green colorway and confirms that these Nikes are Sole Junkie originals.

Here’s another Nike model using the safari print. This time, it’s the Nike Dunk High in a grey and aqua colorway.

Theses shoes offer an interesting combination of color and texture. The gray leather is embossed with the elephant print, while the dark portion of the shoes seems to be a nylon material. Aqua is used on the laces, heel tab and tongue label to give these shoes a burst of color.

These kicks are expected to be part of the Spring 2009 Nike collection, but you can pre-order them now at End. Via Sneaker News.

Yesterday we showed you an interesting SB Dunk Low, which featured purple denim and a graphic on the insole of a skateboarder wearing the same colors used on the kicks. Looking at the dunk high in this post the two must be part of the same pack. Unlike the purple denim, dunk lows in yesterdays post these dunk highs will release as a premium. The black portion is composed of dark green denim set off by the maroon suede used on the frontal half of these sneakers. The swoosh is black but outlined in white stitching. The laces and sole are black as well. The insole also features the same skateboarder but this time wearing a green t-shirt and purple shorts.Stay tuned for release info.
