Larry Luk, designer from We Are the Process in Atlanta shows off his skills with a new Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke from 21 Mercer.

His one-of-a-kind “Love & War” Bespoke features soft materials such as rubberized leather representing love and hard materials such as black waterproof denim used to carry out a war theme. Other unique details include red contrast stitching and bulletproof Kevlar materials along the tongue for an even tougher finish.

Steven Pinkerton has become a regular over at 21 Mercer with his growing collection of Nike Air Force One Bespokes. The elite Nike Sportwear program that allows individuals to customize the iconic AF1 silhouette with just about any materials imaginable has been the birthplace of his latest creation. Today we take a look at Steven’s “Round 3″ Bespokes.

What comes after his “Cookie Monster” Bespokes that were previewed this past summer is his newest 1 of 1 custom that takes a different approach with a green digital camouflage (digi camo) patterned toe box and eye stay, a reverse Loden nubuck tongue, Swoosh and heel tab, and a white perforated leather panel that wraps around the back of the shoe. Other notable details include a brown perforated leather inner, a custom Loden hang tag, custom lace locks, and a clutch gum sole.

From time to time, 21 Mercer hears some great stories from their beloved consumers. This time around, Adam Sofa called upon the Nike studio to make another personal pair of Forces. The Nike Air Force 1 MX iD “NoScooters” is the result, and is fashioned after Sofa’s buddies with wheels. Because of Sofa’s limb girdle muscular dystrophy, he relies on his scooters for him to get around. Thus, to pay homage to his metal, he made his AF1 follow the colors of his scooters, using blue patent on the swoosh against a grey suede upper, which sits atop a clear MX midsole and red outsole. Check out the 21 Mercer site for the full story on Sofa and his scooters.

21 Mercer always gets sneaker heads of every kind coming into their studio, and sometimes, some influential people pop up. To get his own Nike Bespoke AF1 done, fashion lifestyle blogger Marcus Troy has collaborated with the studio, creating a very nice pair of Bespokes. The Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke sports a black/grey/turquoise colorway, using a team of premium materials such as waterproof denim, loopwheeler cotton, and rubberized leather to name a few. Troy’s name is lasered onto the lace plates, or “dubres” as Troy emphasizes, to really make this one of one personal. These are definitely a great pair of sneakers, and perhaps the only time one would be happy to drop $820 for shoes.

21 Mercer just got even better with the return of the Nike Air Max 1 iD pallet, making the New York store a haven for customization. You can create your own personal Nike Air Max 1 using options such as splatter with today’s popular tones like grand purple, hot red, and hyper blue. Be sure to stop by 21 Mercer to create your own classic runner if you’ve had enough Bespoke Air Forces. Perhaps seek inspiration for your customs from the holidays, because these would be great for that special someone, even if that someone is yourself.

Although Nike is a proven leader in lifestyle shoes, they still began as an athletic brand. That’s why it’s no surprise that Nike teamed up with ten different college football programs to create a College Football Pack to go along with the release of the new Nike Pro Combat uniform, which is the lightest football uniform ever made. The pack consists of special combat style cases which feature the school name and logo, date stamp for each game, university mantra, graphics, global coordinates of each home’s stadium, and individual numbering. And all that was only for the case. The contents within the case include a special pair of Nike Air Trainer 1s in each team’s collegiate colors, along with a matching t-shirt, athletic tape, and other athletic goods. Nine packs were released for each of the ten colleges, including Texas and Florida State, making a total of ninety packs available at 21 Mercer on Friday, November 27th. What better way to show your college pride than by copping these super limited packs?
