Last night at Nemo HQ in Portland, OR, Undertow’s latest art exhibit – “Testing the Waters” – kicked off! The aquatic-character based art group has various pieces throughout the exhibition that they’ll be auctioning off through June 30th (when the exhibit ends), including this Air Jordan 2010; a collaboration between Jordan Brand and themselves. A sort of UNC meets ACG look, the ‘UNDERTOW’-debossed AJ2010s feature a Safari-like droplet pattern. The shoe comes in an all-white upper with hits of University Blue on the toe cap, outsole, back collar and what looks like rawhide laces. Light grey water drop graphics appear by the forefoot, heel panel and socklining, while “UNDERTOW” is engraved by the lace region. Always philanthropic, Jordan Brand will be matching 100% of the proceeds generated from the event, which will be donated to St. Mary’s Home for Boys, a Portland-based charity that helps at-risk young men.

Randolph Engineering P3 Submariner Sunglasses

Randolph Engineering have been meticulously hand-crafting eye-wear for the ruggedest of climates for over 35 years, counting the Navy and Military among their most ardent and trusted customers, all of whom are a testimony to the all-American-made quality of this brand. The P3 Submariners were originally designed for use inside submarines. From the late 1960’s onwards this style of eye-wear was made iconic by figures such as John Lennon and Arthur Lee. The sounds of Love, The Byrds, Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” shouted like a heartbeat across America as the good old boys from the South went rolling through Viet Cong dug outs with nothing more than an acid trip and a long barrel. Sunglasses such as these are more than just fashion, they are woven into the fabric of history as relics of appropriation, and as pieces of true craftsmanship they represent a time honored tradition of enduring quality and durability.

Dee & Ricky x Russ and Reyn – Limited Edition Prints

Taking their 3D play to a new dimension (or more accurately, a reduction in dimensions), Dee & Ricky has teamed up with Russ & Reyn to create some limited edition prints of the LEGO duo’s creations.

Dee & Ricky’s interpretation of idioms such as “Eat Your Heart Out” (as pictured with a fork piercing a piece of LEGO, apparently removed from a LEGO heart), and “Heart Burn” (a blue LEGO heart placed strategically and nerve wreckingly below a lit cigarette) will hopefully put a smile on your face.

Air Jordan 1 2K High

The frame design is retro-inspired in an angular plastic cut.The keyhole bridge accentuates the softly contoured lens shape while the frame front sports retro pin detailing. Hand beaded by Jenny Dayco, the former graphic designer and talent agent is self-taught in the art of jewelry designing and works in stinctively from the gut while her hands brilliantly produce each and every single piece.”

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Paul Nguye

For $800, it’s tough not to go all out with materials and colors. That’s a big reason why the majority of Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke productions could be described as over-the-top. One might choose to “get his money worth” by using every available option of the Bespoke customization process, but this latest Bespoke, created by Paul Nguyen of Australia, manages to contain the materials and colors into one great package. The upper features a combination of red kevlar and black denim and a metallic silver heeltab, and the overall composition of the shoe says that Nguyen managed to exploit the Bespoke options and create a controlled shoe at the same time.
