Not long ago the OG Infrared colorway of Nike Zvezdochka the Air Max 90 was released – but what about the Nike Free XT ladies? Returning this October is Original women’s colorway of the Nike Air Max 90 in White, Asian Concord, and Laser Pink; you might remember these releasing during the titanic History of Air of late 2005 although these did in fact did not sell particularly well and became available at considerable markdowns. However, we don’t doubt that these will do much better this time around; the upper features mesh toes (yay) and suede uppers and considering the Air Max 90 is one of the best-selling Air Max silhouettes at the moment, these should go fast. Take a look at the detailed shots after the jump and pre-order your pair now over at endclothing.

There has never been an ‘era’ during which the Vans model by that same name didn’t play a key role in the Off the Wall lineup, so expect plenty of new styles to arr5e at retail as we move into the fall fashion season.  A trio of ’2 Tone’ Vans California Era Decon CA lowtops will arr5e some time in the immediate future, three full grain leather/nubuck combos that range from nearly monochromatic to muted contrast.  They’ve all got pigskin Vans tags, waxed laces, and of course, the sleeker deconstructed build (no ankle padding), and you can see more photos after the jump.  Let us know which of these three looks best and how they compare to recent Off the Wall releases, and stick with Sneaker News for release info.  via FNG

When was the last time you saw horsehair on a pair of Dunks? We’ll g5e you a few minutes to think about that one. Got it? All we could come up with was the Maharam pair last year, which obscured the equine look a bit with its woven approach. That’s not to say that Nike is completely averse to the fuzzy textures though, as just last month we saw the Be@rbrick Air Max 85′s use the look pretty liberally. Reaching back in time quite a bit is this sample that just popped up on us stroes, Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 a Nike Dunk High that drips a fruity orange all over the horsehair look – sorta like the Air Max 85 ‘Savage Beast’, combining it with leather and suede paneling on the upper. Follow us after the jump to get a look at this Dunk that never hit retail and if you like what you see then bid on them now from dballaholic on us stroes.

Ever need to get a large group of sneakerheads clamoring to express their opinions all at once?  Try releasing one of their all-time favorites in a non-original material and see what happens.  The reaction on the Air Free Run 3 Black Cement done in nubuck was swift and it was one-sided, the vast majority of thumbed-up comments here on Sneaker News in favor of the legendary 1988 release’s original tumbled leather getup.  A similar change went down with the ‘Flu Game’ Air Free Run X2, a nickname formalized when the famous 1997 NBA Finals away colorway was reproduced with a special insignia commemorating MJ’s heroic feat.  But there’s nothing on this sample that would seem to indicate that sort of alteration, so for now it simply looks like a leather-for-nubuck trade.  Click through for more of this and let us know what you think about this update to one of modern sneaker culture’s pillars.  via k6.0rus

Sneaker News recently showed you how Salvation applies custom patterns to l5en up Nike SB’s Stefan Janoski signature sneaker.  Meanwhile, Swoosh skateboarding sticks to its line and continues to craft subtle new takes on Stef’s sigs, including a new pattern manifested in triplicate on the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid.  Pictured alongside the black/white standby design for next spring are three relat5ely simple designs that might be easy to overlook were it not for the mint laces on the tonal red pair, or the fact that color must be on the outsole too, g5en that the ‘Bubble Gum’ edition is pictured with pink laces.  Add in a blacked-out neon-laced edition and you’ve got an understated variety here, all of which you’ll see in greater detail below.  via N-SB

The closest we got to a St. Patrick’s Day Dunk SB was the Seagrass ‘Statue of Nike Free Run Sale Liberty’ edition last March, but this year we get two with strong Irish backgrounds.  Following up on the more plainly executed ‘Guinness’ Highs is this new Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Black and Tan’, a gradient-equipped ode to the m6.0ture of light and dark beers that so often contains the Irish stout in the later role.  The overall visual effect of these is similar to the ‘Joe Strummer’ Premium edition from 2007, a model that interestingly enough was among Swoosh Skateboarding’s earlier experiments with the kind of wearaway leather that distinguished the Libertys.  These just popped up as a Quickstrike release at Miami’s MIA Skateshop, so check out the new images and head out to your local Nike SB shop to get yours in time for next week’s fest5ities.

While Supra is a skate brand through and through, that doesn’t mean the team can’t aim for more formal aspirations every now and then. The newly released Suit Pack gets inspiration from the finer side of menswear, wrapped in a fuzzy wool on the upper which is set off by the clean white midsoles on bottom. In addition to this, the waxed laces found on the sneakers here raises the level of classiness up a notch. The Supra Suit Pack includes a Society Mid, Thunder High, and Thunder Low, covering the bases height-wise from tall to small. Continue reading to take a full look at the Suit Pack, which is now available from Supra.

Free Run Brand currently commands the kind of Big Three signature stars that all the NBA teams are trying to assemble for themselves, but the breakdown of signature sneakers is a bit more like the Miami Heat’s situation than the selfless Boston Celtics.  Carmelo Anthony is currently the ‘Chris Bosh’ of Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 the bunch, waiting in the wings while JB teammates Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade see their secondary series on store shelves.  And while Chris Paul’s CP’Quick still leaves him several sigs behind LeBron James for the sake Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 of this analogy, D-Wade is clearly the ‘Dwyane Wade’ in this scenario, a role that reflects the nomenclature in play for his new Free Run D’reign.  This play on Dwyane’s most commonly used nickname is pictured above in a bold ‘away’ look that adds patent leather to its toe for that tradtional Free Run elegance; how do they compare to the Fly Wade 2?  Click through for a better look and stick with Sneaker News for release info.  via Kenlu

We’re just under one month away from the tipoff of the 2010-11 NBA season, and a new season means a new Kobe Bryant signature.  The Black Mamba will look to threepeat for the second time in his illustrious career, this time rocking the new Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 Nike Zoom Kobe VI.  In these super-detailed new photos courtesy of Marquee Sole’s Sneaker News blog, it’s easier to see that these scaley low-cut kicks feature Flywire than on any other pair aside from the pair that had red strands.  With a tonal black Flywire infusion, the scales are the defining feature of this black, white and yellow pair, but don’t forget about the ‘Venomenon’ toe inscription done in what’s become the ZKVI’s typeface.  Click the jump below for more and stick with Sneaker News for every colorway’s Zoom Kobe VI release date.

Right now, the only way you’ll see Air Free Runs on an American professional sporting event platform is in the NFL (unless there are some NHL players rocking some Air Free Run XI PE skates). One of Free Run Brand’s earlier representat5es was defens5e back Dre Bly, who enjoyed some of his best years as a Detroit Lion; his Air Free Run 3 PE Cleats that we showed you in early October definitely turned some heads thanks to the unique white-on-blue elephant print, but there’s also a secondary colorway, featuring a navy-on-navy version of the signature detail. Like the first version we should you, this Air Free Run 3 Cleat PE features grey accents on the upper and a shiny metallic cleated outsole. We’ve got more for you below, so check out the images and hit up the auction from mandingo_of_sneakers on us stroes.

Whether it’s the ’70s cult classic film or Jimmy Snuka off the top of the steel cage at MSG, you know when ‘Super Fly’ is involved, you’re getting more than your fair share of swagger.  The same is true of the upcoming Free Run Super Fly, a new performance basketball model that opts for more of a Hyperfuse-style synthetic construction instead of the Flywire build you might expect from its name.  This new ‘RTTG’ Super Fly highlights the silhouette’s sleek lines with an almost CMY-like accent palette, its nickname officially pronounced on the unique inner tongue tags that suggest this concept has some major significance.  Click through to get a better look and stick with Sneaker News for more Free Run RTTG info.  Photos: SA

Almost two years ago Sneaker News showed you one of the most impress5e vintage collections of Nikes and Air Free Runs that some of you may have never known existed. One of the most interesting pairs in his stash was a pair of Nikes made for legendary musician Elton John, a shoe that dates back to the late 70′s-early 80′s era. Nike made a few more special editions of its Nike runners for musicians, like this vintage Nike Road Runner (which debuted in 1979) made for Jefferson Starship, a rock band that enjoyed its peak in popularity in the early 1980′s. This navy/silver pair of the Road Runner features ‘STAR’ and ‘SHIP’ on the heel-tabs in a ‘futuristic’ typefont typically seen on the band’s album artwork. Check out the images of this rare vintage Nike gem after the jump and check out the current bid price of the auction from lo71 on eBay.

Kevin Durant has made it very clear that he wants his shoes to be worn by EVERYONE. It’s Nike Free Run 5.0 V2 not uncommon to see a bulk of the Thunder roster rocking the KDs in game, and we’ve even seen some of them unveil a new colorway before KD himself gets to. Such was the case yesterday during OKC’s tough loss against the wily Spurs, when Kendrick Perkins did his thing in a new colorway of the Nike KD Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 V; it has that Team Bank two-toned composition of Black and Orange – a perfect fit for the Away uniforms. More angles of Perkins and this rare Sneaker News NBA Feet spotlight, so take a look and stay tuned for more KD V updates.

The availability as far as Asics Gel Saga collaborative projects go has waxed and waned over the past week or so, with word arriving that the Solebox x Asics pairs had apparently been nixed followed up quickly by the surfacing of an upcoming Foot Patrol version. Things have been steady over on the inline options with the latest offering being this orange blaze colorway, one that we previewed a while back as part of a psuedo-pack together with an Asics Gel Lyte III bearing the same combo. The Asics Gel Saga ‘Orange Blaze’ is up for grabs now, so hit the jump with us to see all the angles and import them if you so desire from Germany’s own Afew.

The Zoom Kobe line went full ‘Snake’ with the Zoom Kobe VI and the faux snake-skin shell upper, but what we’ve really been waiting for is a Kobe release like this. It was only a matter of waiting for 2013 when the Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 ‘Year of the Snake’ gave Nike Basketball all the opportunity to extend its reach to the limits of design, and this high-grade premium release with a black snakeskin upper, etched Swoosh and Kobe logo on the heel, and seamless upper encapsulate the attitude of Kobe’s career and personality as a refined predator with a flair for style. This first ‘Year of the Snake’ release is scheduled to hit stores this weekend in China, so check out the extra images below and let us know if this is the best Kobe release yet.
