It is funny sometimes how much a slight change can make a huge difference in a pair of shoes. Sneaker customizers definitely know this but still they usually end up making a whole lot of changes to a shoe before they are done with it. In some cases though all it takes is just a little bit of alterations to take an already great shoe and turn it into something truly spectacular. Today we are going to be taking a look at a little change going a very long way, this is the new Nike LeBron 8 Blackout Infrared Custom.
Despite what the title may suggest, these shoes bear no inspiration from any projects, MARCY or otherwise in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Projects x Nike Dunks SB High is actually the brainchild of the good folks at the California couture shop, Brooklyn Projects. The Los Angeles-based shop opted for a frayed look at the toe-box and quarter panel which came out quite nice. The suede is meant to look as if it were smeared with blood, and is juxtaposed with a smoother leather swoosh. The other defining features of these Dunks come by way of the denim heel, and the wax-coated laces. The rustic feel these kicks espouse gives the effect of making them look years worn the day you crack open the box. The look has been achieved by Nike before and as with the previous experiments, this kick is sure to be polarizing, with fans and critics. While there is no word on price point nor release date, it has been rumored these are limited to 814 pairs. The shoes are sure to be highly sought after, so get a look look and decide for yourself if they’re worth the pursuit.
This shoe before started out in all black but all it took was the addition of infrared in a few key places and the shoe has been drastically improved upon. Take a closer look at it and tell us what you think about the new look of this Nike Dunks shoe.

Nike Software Turns Runners' Footsteps Into Loopy, Swooshy Paintings
To promote a new collection of shoes, Nike Dunks records runners' paths, then converts them into art prints.
Running is already a thing of beauty, as anyone who's watched Prefontaine float sublimely past a finish line will tell you. Here to push the sport even further into the realm of fine art is Kid's Nike Dunks, which commissioned a project recently that lets runners paint with their most cherished asset: their feet.
In this time that global meltdown is a threat, going green will definitely help. This is one reason why the Zoom Kobe Structure 14+ appears with a very cool ambience that brings an all- green apple upper of mesh and Flywire panel with hints of white. The running spirit that this model owns is as cool as the rainforest that promises a healing temperature to the Earth. For soothing summer footwear, check this one out at retailers such as RMK.
An official release date for the Nike Air Force 1 Low Foamposite Pro “Retro” hasn’t been announced at this time, but rumors are suggesting a July launch. We’ll keep you informed on further details, until then check out the detailed photos after the jump.
He joins an impressive group of stars who also just signed with Nike – A.J. Green (Georgia), Nick Fairley (Auburn) and Patrick Peterson (LSU) – all of whom are expected to be first-round picks. There’s a possibility Williams could be taken in the late first round (the last Tech first-rounder was offensive tackle Duane Brown in 2008), but most NFL draft “gurus” believe he’s going to be selected anywhere from early second round to early third. It would be shocking if he goes any lower.
“We’re feeling really optimistic,” Williams’ agent, Malik Shareef, said Monday night. “We’re still a little unsure about where exactly he’ll end up, but we’ve spoken to over half of the 32 teams in the NFL. He’s worked out for five teams and visited another five teams. A lot of teams are showing serious interest. We believe he could go from the late first round to the early second.”
Shareef said he doesn’t expect Williams to fall lower than the second round, mentioning the trio of first-round running backs in 2010 – C.J. Spiller at No. 9, Ryan Mathews at No. 12 and Jahvid Best at No. 30 – saying, “I hate to be biased, but they’re not better than Ryan Williams.” Shareef also believes that, along with the positive feedback he’s getting from NFL teams, the invite to New York and the new Nike endorsement deal are pointing to good news in the draft.

Shoreline Still In Jeopardy
"We just learned last weekend that the money has been set aside by the province, and when the water level is settled, which presumably will be after next winter, at a sufficiently low level then they are, we anticipate, start the remedial work cycle," says Elbow resident Bill Nike.
Nike says they had hope something would have been done this winter, but they are happy with the response of the Province, "It hasn't worked out that way and I think we're just comfortable and confident, at the moment, that all of our overtures to Regina have been positively responded to," adds Nike. "While we locally are impatient to see something happen, at least we have a statement of intent."
Nike Dunks SB adds that water levels haven't done any additional damage since the spring thaw began, but says if the levels do rise it could speed up the erosion process.
Nine staff – all keen runners – have been hired to work there, and store manager Rona Butler said they had been busy getting the shop ready to open since Tuesday.
"It's been long days but definitely worth it," she said. "Running is becoming bigger and bigger all the time and it's great to be open after months of planning."

2011 NBA Mock Draft: Bismack Biyombo Gives the Utah Jazz New Look at No. 6
Nike Dunks has a cool new free (yes, free!) fitness application for the iPad that guides users through a series of full-body workouts, with video clips to demonstrate each exercise.
Law360, New York (April 22, 2011) -- Sports gear manufacturer Point 3 Basketball Inc. sued Nike Inc. on Thursday in New York for allegedly infringing its trademarked logo by putting a virtually identical design on its new Dwyane Wade-endorsed Air Jordan sneakers.
The basketball athletic apparel company targeted Nike's decision to use a highly similar stylized number three on its upcoming Dwyane Wade shoe, which is set to go on sale in early May.
Nike LeBron reps were in town this week to lead a group of University of Texas students through one of the workouts. One dropped by the newspaper office to show me how to use the app, called the Nike Training Club.
If you can’t afford a personal trainer, the Nike Training Club is about as close to a good substitute as it gets. And — important to me — it’s intuitive and easy to use on an iPad.
Once the app is on your iPad, you can choose from beginner, intermediate or advanced workouts. A couple dozen options are available under each category.
The workouts are geared toward women, with super-fit athletes illustrating correct form in everything from easy jogging to squats.
