Jun 14 · Pipe Cleaner Sneaker Sculptures by Don Porcella

There’s plenty of sneaker-inspired art floating around these days, but here’s one of the more whimsical collections we’ve seen. NY-based Don Porcella is gaining renown for his pipe cleaner sculptures, and he recently tried his hand at bending up a couple pairs of kicks. In a humorous twist, the Air Jordan 1 and Nike Terminator Highs both feature a severed calf protruding from the shoe’s ankle, ‘dripping’ a blood red puddle of pipe cleaners. The New Balance runners are decidedly less ‘violent’, and pictures of each pair follows the jump...KAYDRO

This is taking the term “heat” to a different level. JBF, a talented sneaker-head with an interesting imagination took a pair of Nike SB Blazer Mids and applied a molten lava theme to the upper, using a mix of blazing oranges and super-vibrant yellows that mimic the relentless flow of molten lava. Black patent leather is also added for contrast, and on the tongue and heel-tab are expertly fashioned personal logo cut-outs. Check out the detailed pics after the jump and let us know if you would cop this scalding hot colorway if they ever released.

Jun 14 · Nike SB Dunk High QS – Born In The USA | July 2010

In Mid-March Sneaker News reported an upcoming color of the Nike SB Dunk High with a colorway taken off the classic American Rock album ‘Born In The U.S.A.’ by Bruce Springsteen, who is better known as ‘The Boss’ by the 40-somethings of our generation. The mix of denim, white, blue, and red takes after Springsteen’s all-American outfit consisting of a white t-shirt, jeans, and baseball cap, with the red-and-white striped ankle padding taking from the patriotic backdrop of the album artwork. Springsteen’s music takes after his experiences during life in his hometown Freehold Borough in New Jersey, and according to N-SB, New Jersey’s NJ Skateshop will release a Todd Bratrud shirt as well as an Anti-Hero skatedeck along with the shoes.

D0NT MESS WITH TEXAS!!!!

" The Dallas Police Department issued Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young a Class C assault citation for his role in a Sunday morning altercation at a Dallas strip club that left one person injured. Officials said they reviewed a tape of the incident and interviewed witnesses before issuing the citation, which is punishable by a fine of up to $500. The altercation broke out “after words were exchanged” at Club Onyx, with the first call to police at 3:38 a.m. Club security made a second call to police at 4:06 a.m., and an ambulance was called at about 5:30 a.m. Police believe Young left the scene before officers arrived, a DPD official said. Holly Yan of the KDAF-TV in Dallas has more details of the altercation - and it sounds like “words” had nothing to do with what caused the fight. A Dallas police source told The 33 News the current Tennessee Titans quarterback was attempting to exchange cash, possibly for single dollar bills, at Club Onyx when someone started making disparaging remarks about the Texas Longhorns. Police say one person made an upside-down “Hook ‘em, Horns” hand gesture, and a physical altercation ensued. Young is accused of busting an employee’s lip. Titans spokesman Robbie Bohren: “We are aware of the report about Vince Young. The organization has been in touch with Vince and we will continue to gather addition information.”" - SPB
