The newest hybrid shoe from Nike Sportswear is the Nike Free Hybrid Boot. Somewhere between a shoe and boot, this hybrid is equipped with Nike Free technology and an interesting design.

This particular clean colorway is reportedly a Babekub City exclusive. However, we’ll wait and see if that’s the case. The black laces offset these shoes and the red rickrack stitching on the tongue is a nice touch. Different color schemes of this hybrid boot may be on the horizon. Via High Snobiety.

Ryouki and Lacoste have collaborated to design and make this shoe. Ryouki is a sneaker boutique. This project is named “Double Negative.” The two companies came up with two colorways. These shoes will be released in Nov. 2008.

Let’s look at the sneaker with the black, white and grey colorway. The toe box is white and it is surrounded by a thick border of grey colored leather. The midsection is white, with a logo of Lacoste in its center. The collar around the ankle is black. It merges into the tip of the tongue, which is also black colored.The shoe lace region and its accompanying shoe lace have the same color of light grey. The midsole below the toe box has two layers, being white and light grey in color. The midsole from the center to the heel of the sneaker has 3 layers. The top layer is specked in black and grey dots. There is a short white layer and the bottom layer of midsole is light grey colored.

Now, we’ll discuss the other colorway in Double Negative. It looks identical to the shoe discussed above. The difference is in the color of the mudguard. It is done in dark grey, which is near to black in color. I like this shoe better because of the dark colored mudguard.

Chrisco has been busy recently upgrading his website and showing off some of his work from the past year. These Tweed Air Force Ones were posted by Chrisco on the Nike Talk thread linked here.

The designer went with a tweed fabric pattern around the heel rather than trying to paint this pattern. Chrisco showed off his skills by stitching the tweed pattern perfectly to the rest of the shoe. This pattern also features Chrisco’s signature just above the outsole in brown stitching. The stitching matches the brown leather on the front of the shoe.

I hyped up Chrisco’s New Balance Crackle in yesterday’s post without having seen the Tweed Air Force Ones. While the Tweeds may not be as colorful as the Crackles, I like Chrisco’s approach on these shoes. The use of a tweed pattern and the seamless execution by the designer equal fantastic custom sneakers.

ALIFE has a September 15th release date for these tweed kicks. The ALIFE Everybody Herringbone Tweeds will be released in ALIFE flagship stores as well as Barney’s, Commonwealth and other top ALIFE accounts. The shoes will be available in three colorways.

In these pictures, we see two of the three colorways. One utilizes blue and grey to create a lively and fun shoe. The other colorway is more laidback and features a mustard and tan colorway. The third version is grey on grey. All three versions have a large ALIFE logo on the tongue and a smaller ALIFE logo on the back heel. If you are looking for a change of pace, these herringbone tweed sneakers are a cool choice. Via Complex.

We bring to you yet ANOTHER House of Hoops exclusive that released on Saturday August 30th at their Harlem location. Continuing the trend, they decided to release another classic basketball shoe. The Foamposite One was chosen for this joyous occasion. The upper is black, like most of the shoe. Dark Army was used mainly on the translucent sole but can also been seen elsewhere.

If you are a fan of the Pump and looking for a training shoe, these sneakers that are releasing in November are a good bet. The Reebok AXT Side Pump Trainers feature the Pump technology and Hexalite cushioning system for performance and comfort.

These kicks come in two colorways. The orange shoe features yellow and black accents for a bold look – too bad it will be too late for Halloween with these colors. The black version is highlighted with green and purple. The Reebok AXT Side Pump Trainers will be available at select Reebok dealers for $110 USD. Via Hypebeast.
