Amare Stoudemire x Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke ‘Always On’

Amare Stoudemire x Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke Always On

Amare Stoudemire’s arrival to New York City during the 2010 offseason proved to pay off immediate dividends for the franchise and the city. He brought a winning attitude with his ferocious offense, and garnered legitimate MVP consideration for leading the Knicks to playoff contention while standing as the sole leader of the team in the days before Melo. In 2011, Stoudemire was presented with his latest signature sneaker called the Air Max Sweep Thru, which served as the inspiration behind this special Air Force 1 Bespoke, designed as part of the ‘Nike Sportswear: Always On’ campaign. The shoe pays tribute to Amare’s undeniable status as a bonafide superstar, and was given away in limited quantities during Amare’s live appearance at 21 Mercer last December.

The camouflage-inspired upper is taken directly from the Sweep Thru strap, which features the same detail, although for the Bespoke, the pattern is achieved by the iconic Lasering method on a royal blue tumbled leather. Embroidered on the heel is Stoudemire’s nickname ‘STAT’ (Standing Tall And Talented), with the ‘A’ on the midsole colored in orange to distinguish his first initial. The final personal touch comes in the form of the custom hang-tag, which is uniquely addressed to each of the six winners of the giveaway. Continue on below to get a full viewing of the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke for Amare Stoudemire, and if this design sparks your own creativity, get in touch with 21 Mercer today to schedule a Bespoke appointment.

Semafory Project By Roman Tyc

Back in 2007, Czech guerilla artist Roman Tyc took to the streets of Prague for his Semafory Project and replaced 48 walk signals with whimsical figures that make you take a second glance. Hiding in plain sight, the clever culture jammer installed some wild and mild designs in broad daylight. The new silhouettes depicted a man walking a dog, drinking, being hung and urinating. While the locals found the project entertaining, the authorities didn’t find it too funny. Roman was arrested and forced to replace all the lights back to normal. He did however elect to not pay the fine and was sentenced to 30 days in the slammer. The public protested his punishment and decapitated the semaphore figures by painting their heads black.

 

 

EVILGOOD – California Shaped Skateboard Deck

EVILGOOD   California Shaped Skateboard Deck

Stakeboarding is as much a part of California culture as Hollywood or its sandy beaches, so why not pay homage to the capital of sidewalk surfing with this Cali-shaped Skateboard Deck. The team at EVILGOOD did away with the traditional and boring oval shape for the board inspired by the shape of the Golden State, literally. Featuring every curve and bend of the coast and the boarders of its neighboring states, this 100% Canadian maple deck includes a layer of friction tape if you ever wanted to take it for a cruise down the strip. Each board arrives with a bag and comes in either a pure maple or checkerboard design. Head to BEAMS online shop to get your own piece of Cali no matter where you ride.
