Exotic Sneaker

At $2,000 a pop, the new luxury editions of Nike’s Air Force 1 sneaker, in anaconda or crocodile skin (above), complete with 18-karat-gold shoelace tips . Starting Thursday, the NikeiD Studio, at 255 Elizabeth Street in New York, will begin taking appointments for the ultimate sneaker customization. For $275, aficionados can create their own AF25 Nike basketball shoe in more than 25 different materials, including those apparent new kings of the concrete jungle, crocodile, iguana and ostrich. Prospective customers will be selected at random; apply for a spot at www.nikeid.com/255studio.
