Nike Vinylheadz Blazers: Brazil

Sneaker freakers who are behind on their forum reading, you’re looking at Nike Brazil’s newest ill entry inspired by those vinyl records you love to collect almost as much as kicks themselves. Released in Brazil only to the Art Walk mall store chain last month, these sleek Blazer honeys were developed with DJs Marky, Ze Gonzales and Mix Hell (who happens to be Iggor Cavelera, the former drummer of Sepultura, and his wife) chiming in on how they should look. Vinyl material "” in reference to the obvious "” was used in the back, but I find the grooves stamped into the leather on the sides totally ingenious. Each shoe comes with an option to switch out the shoelaces with an included, differently colored lace topped off with metal detail at the ends chosen by these DJs. And in case you’re wondering, the answer is no, Art Walk doesn’t have an online store. Bummer.
