dallas penn raises the bar with another insane pair of kicks

the nike id design shop in manhattan is probably the coolest store on the planet. just in the outside appearance alone exudes subtle confidence like a billionaire getting comped at the high roller table in vegas. inside, you've got a waiting room and an attendant to check you in (the hottest girl in that city, btw). suckily, i was there on one of their many "appointment only" days and even my best name dropping could only get me a peek through the curtain.

so sneakmove pal dallas penn has the wonderful fortune to roll into that place and throw together crazy designs and then send us pics to rub it in. his latest ones came together as the shop is doing a celebration of the history of the air max. he's calling them "heatrox super 180" because they're hot like lava shooting out of a volcano. check these pics, and check the great writeup about how this all went down. and it sounds like he hasn't even shown us everything he got...
