nike footscape woven... brasil edition prototypes

one final pair of kicks for 2011.

i bought these from a friend of a friend of a friend a couple of weeks ago.

they are a deadstock pair of nike footscape wovens in a colourway which was

never released to the public... only a handful of prototypes were made in this colourway

before it was decided to make them with yellow soles and green woven parts on the upper.

they are brasil editions by the way.

i've no idea what the number 12 is all about. 

any ideas ?

i'm not exactly sure about these. 

as you know, my game is all about the air force 1

and i mainly bought these because of their rarity value

but there is definitely something good about them. i really like the use of

woven thread... but i'm not a fan of the big-ass white midsole

still, the green outsole is a nice touch, blending well with the black, yellow and blue.

but grrr ! that white mid is massive.

here's another look at them

oh... did i mention thet they are really comfortable by the way ?

they're a bit like wearing slippers but with an air sole.

the brasil football logo on the insole is a good effort

as you can see, there's no padding inside these bad boys.

the majority of the shoe is black suede by the way

with a swoosh stamped into the tongue and blue laces

the laces go off to one side rather than down the centre as with most shoes

hmmm....

here's the view i get when i look down at my plates

what do you think ?

i keep thinking i really like them, but i also think they might look

better worn with shorts rather than jeans.

they are really really comfortable, but definitely an odd looking shoe.

maybe i'll just leave them boxed or on display at whitfield towers.

anyway, that's it... no more kicks for 2011.
