We continue to preview the pack that brings back some sneakers from the holy grail of the sneaker scene. Next up is the Nike Hideout Footscape Woven.

It only made sense that seminal London streetwear staple, The Hideout, would challenge the status quo when asked. Eschewing the conventional sneaker norms they collaborated on a sophisticated update of the much-loved Air Footscape, the Nike Air Footscape Woven. Using real horse hair for the upper, this neck-breaker quickly garnered several nicknames, the most notable of which was ‘The Hamster’, so named because of its shared appearance. An instant smash!

Here comes now the updated version of the sneaker, as part of the Livestrong Stages Collection in the foundation’s signature colors.

More detailed images of the Nike Hideout Woven Footscape follow after the jump.

A while ago we showed you the art bikes by Kaws and Barry McGee for Lance Armstrong. Today we can give you a look at the next two bikes, this time created by Shepard Fairey and Kenny Scharf for the Giro d’Italia 2009.

The Giro d’Italia is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2009 and it is actually the first time that Lance Armstrong is participating. On July 16th the Nike backed “Stages” art show will open in Paris at Gallerie Emmanuel Perrotin and to draw some attention to the event these two new art bikes have been created.

“Getting up on Lance’s “daily driver” Trek Madone road bike, Shepard Fairey created a vibrant homage to Lance’s cancer fighting foundation while including ancient patterning in homage of Italy’s rich architectural details. NYC Pop Art legend Kenny Scharf took a totally different approach to Lance’s Trek TTX time trial cycle and created the “lightspeed” space bike that will hopefully hurtle Tex across the finish line in record time. Both bikes will be auctioned off on October 2nd (10/2 marks the date of Lance’s original cancer diagnosis) at the NYC stop of the “Stages” art tour with all proceeds going to benefit Livestrong.” Via Supertouch.

The Lance Armstrong “Stages” Project continues to draw in high profile artists, resulting in interesting pieces of work. You can be sure ther is a lot more to come.

For now, have a more detailed look at the Shepard Fairey and Kenny Scharf bikes after the jump.
