PHANTACi x Nike Air Max 1 “Grand Piano”

Posted on December 8, 2009 by A.Okay Official

Taiwanese group PHANTACi paired with Nike on these Air Max 1s, drawing inspiration from a grand piano and translating it onto a wearable canvas. We saw this pair yesterday, but now we have a detailed look at them.

A few details were missed in the last look, including the gold patent leather heel portion and also the gold Air Max bubble support, as well as the metallic finish on the top double-eyelets. Of course, the pink velour liner is a very unique look and matches the outsole perfectly. Unfortunately they’re an Asia-only release, so outside of some connections, odds are you may never grab a pair of your own.

Nike Snowboarding – Zoom Force 1 Double Tongue

Posted on December 8, 2009 by A.Okay Official

This isn’t too often the case, but Nike Snowboarding looks to have taken a page or two out of the adidas playbook for Danny Kass’ latest Zoom Force 1 boot. First off, the boots are equipped with extra ‘tongues’ bearing American and Canadian flags, which is something we’ve seen from the ever-flamboyant Jeremy Scott. It doesn’t stop there, though, as the overall look of the design, and especially the rear sections, have a vague Star Wars feel. Maybe it’s cos Kass is reppin’ his birth year of 1982, which would explain the overlap in ‘futuristic’ styling. Given the Olympic reference, these should be out soon.
