When he was eleven years old back in 1995, your author purchased his first pair of skateboarding shoes: the Nike One Star. While the Airwalks he saw on the same rack have dropped out of the skate market and the One Star label has been reappropriated to promote Cons’ collection for Target stores, the One Star remains an icon of early skate culture.
The Wajima nike free 3.0 v4 Ox “Made in Japan” edition of the One Star brings some of the glory back to this classic kick by infusing the slim shillouette with shiny patent leather uppers. Appearing in black, red and white, three of the four pairs feature a golden Star on the side panels. The remaining black pair rocks a red Star and might be the best of the bunch. mita sneakers has all four, plus a ton of other One Stars.
Nike has worked with UNDFTD yet again on this Poorman’s Weapon that seeks inspiration from the classic military jacket. While the shoe may look simple it’s actually complete with a number of premium details including a removable Nike logo on the upper via velcro patches, a “War is Big Business” tag on the inside of the shoe’s tongue, a manila card attached to the shoes, and the UNDFTD Strike logo on the midsole. This is one of the better collaborations we’ve seen this year and it’s great to see it all come together from one story/point of inspiration, the military jacket. These will be released at UNDFTD locations in January as well as the UNDFTD e-store. via Sneaker Freaker
