Mister Cartoon X Nike LIVESTRONG


I have longed admired the handy work of LA tattoo artist(e) Mister Cartoon. Notorious for his amazing street inspired and clown like tattoo's, he has become the much desired and preferred tattooist of celebrity's and homeboys alike. And with pieces of work like this:


....there's no denying his artistic clout. Now putting his name to more artwork, Mr Cartoon joins forces with Nike's LIVESTRONG collection to release an Air Force 1 sneaker that gets a Mr Cartoon makeover. Continuing with the black and yellow colorway of the LIVESTRONG project, the black background gets lifted by yellow artwork, heel box and sole.
Of course as expected these have limited availability, but are already becoming a collectors must have. These kicks are a collaboration on a collaborative collection, meaning: ebay $$$!!

The Nike Sportswear x Livestrong x Mister Cartoon Air Force 1 will launch at Midnight on July 2nd exclusively at Mister Cartoon’s tattoo shop, Last Laugh in Los Angeles, with a wider release on July 4th celebrating the first day of the Tour de France. With 100% of the proceeds from this release going towards the Lance Armstrong Foundation in the fight against Cancer.
