Van Taylor is the artist behind “The Obama Sneaker” pictured above, a Nike Air Force 1 hand painted and donated to be put up in a charity auction to benefit Russell Simmons’ Rush Philanthropic Arts
Foundation.

This is a great concept, combining sneakers and politics for a great cause. Many people are not politically aware and with this custom Air Force 1, it is bound to cause some interest and furthermore it goes to a good cause.

For the ladies, this is an exciting new collaboration between Reebok, Married to the Mob and Colette. This hot project has been in the works for a while now and it’s now officially a reality!

The first thing you notice when looking at these shoes are the Married to the Mob lips that dominate the look. The lips are used freely throughout the shoe and stand out well against the white background.

While these shoes utilize mostly red and white, there is a hint of pink involved as well. Obviously, this collaboration isn’t for everyone but if you like rocking red and white, you may have found a new pair for your shoe collection.

This collaboration is schedule to drop this month at Colette, no word on NYC availability. Via Sneaker News.
