At $2,000 a pop, the new luxury editions of Nike’s Air Force 1 sneaker — in anaconda or crocodile skin (above), complete with 18-karat-gold shoelace tips — are no mean retail feat. Still, if buying ready-made sneakers, no matter how exotic, seems too pedestrian, the next phase of Nike’s AF1 25th birthday celebration may be more your style. Starting Thursday, the NikeiD Studio, at 255 Elizabeth Street in New York, will begin taking appointments for the ultimate sneaker customization. For $275, aficionados can create their own AF25 Nike basketball shoe in more than 25 different materials, including those apparent new kings of the concrete jungle, crocodile, iguana and ostrich. Prospective customers will be selected at random; apply for a spot at www.nikeid.com/255studio. - nytimes
OMG! I just saw the affordable ones at Dillards. They were $165 and had croco print on them! LOL! I didn't know they were made by Cole Haan. They said Cole Hann on the inside and had Nike Air on the side.
