New Balance has been off to a strong start to this decade and we can really appreciate all the effort that they have been putting into their shoes, collaborations and sneaker packs.The latest collaboration that we have spotted on the horizon is this new Urban Research iD x New Balance 1700 LE.This sneaker will feature a smooth, black suede upper that is contrasted by a predominantly white midsole that is contrasted by hits of turquoise as well as gray.The New Balance logo on the heel will be done up in teal and the New Balance N on the mid panel will come in white.This will be a limited edition shoe, and although we aren’t certain or hopeful that these ones will ever make it to the US for a wide release, they are available at select retailers overseas right now.Better hit up some of your international buddies.

The newest addition to the Air Jordan line is this new Air Jordan 2010 W3LCOME HOME edition.These sneakers feature a combination of leathers on the upper including white perforated leather on the mid panel, red leather on the toe and heel and some pieces of red patent leather thrown in as well for good measure.Black can be found on tongue as well as on the mid sole and inner lining and it is all accented very well by red on the outsole.To round out the shoes and justify the name the insole will have W3LCOME printed on one insole and HOME printed on the other insole.The inspiration of the shoes have to do with Dwayne Wade signing with Jordan Brand a couple months ago, which is why the “e” in welcome has been replaced by a 3, and they feature a Miami Heat color scheme.

You may not realize it yet but Fila is making moves to make their way back into the sneaker world as a contender again.It has been a while since anyone really recognized Fila as one of the big dogs and they will be fighting an uphill fight, but we think they just might be able to do it.These new Fila Bull Strap Chukkas are one of their first outings to break back into the market, and they will be dropping two colorways to start off with, one in black and one in brown.They will both feature a combination of leather, suede and nubuck on the upper with a basket weave embossed filabuck toe box and heel.These are a nice unique shoe and you have to hand it to Fila for not trying to copy another company’s success like so many do when trying to break back into the market.

We have been excited for a while to get our hands on a pair of Nike’s new model, the Nike Trainer SC 2010 and the first colorway that has been announced to release will be the black and metallic silver version.These shoes are nearly two ounces lighter than the Air Trainer SC III which may not seem like a whole lot, but if you train seriously then you will definitely feel the difference as soon as you lace these ones up.These are an excellent choice for any sort of training but the most important part, the comfort and fit is exceptional and would be hard to find a shoe that can beat these.The upper on these is predominantly black with metallic silver being found just on the swoosh, tongue tage and the flywire strips.These shoes are available now so if you train hard you now have a shoe that can keep up.

Military gear has influenced many product aspects, including sneakers and it was also adopted by Reebok in creating its Omni Lite Pump Military Pack. Within this collection are two colorways which come popular in the drill field. The first pair comes in a combination of Orange and Black, in which it owns a Black upper plus a minimal Orange hints as seen on the contrast stitching around the collar area and the tongue border. The second pair is a blending of Olive and Orange, being Olive as the base and Orange as the accent. Reebok applied White midsole and Gold “Reebok The Pump” label on the side panel to both colorways. The Pump logo on the tongue goes with the color of the upper. Another attribute which both pairs enjoy is the corduroy treatment found on the collar, in which it gives a little classic effect to the sneaker. If you love the military thing, wait until these Pumps drop for the Fall and Winter seasons.

adidas Originals ZX 8000
The ZX 8000 first appeared in 1989 as a lightweight running model with superior cushioning and a range of more technical elements than previous members of the ZX family
adidas Originals has created another make-up for the ZX 8000. This design dates back to 1989.This new design has sports grey, purple, and black for color. For a little textural diversity, these kicks are a mixture of suede and patent leather. The different shades of Grey ties up the whole new look. The purple is quite unexpected on this but I think it’s a nice touch of color in a classic design. The sole also has a yellow highlight under the heels. The rest of the sole is black.
The Puralite midsole is a colour-blocked purple with small elements of grey, and works extremely well with the matching upper albeit in different materials. An up-to-date, fashionable interpretation of one of the most iconic runners in the adidas catalogue.
