Brand Jordan do not always pay attention on what is going to be hot but it tends to create colorways that are less interesting like the Air Jordan VI GS in White/Rainbow combo. This can easily be described to be having a White leather upper with Rainbow midsole and an icy outsole. The dark tongue displays another hint yet what comes prominent is the lace lock bearing the Jumpman logo. Air Jordan retailers should be displaying this on their shelves by next month. [SneakerNews]

One of the best collaborator tandems was formed when Fragment Design crew, Hiroshi Fujiwara partnered with UNDERCOVER in an exclusive teamwork with Nike Sportswear. The Match Classic HF was unanimously picked by the group to work on.

As an output, we now see a simple yet attractive construction of the classic casual shoe that mainly made up of suede upper. The lace panel highlights a zigzag edge and detailed minimal perforation appears on the lateral. A tiny embroidered Black Swoosh shows up on the midfoot area.

Furthermore, the Nike Sportswear Match Classic HF received a special White rubber sole with labels recognizing UNDERCOVER and Fragment Design as well as a zip-design skirting on the upper part of the midsole. Original shoe laces were being accompanied by complementary set in different shade.

This shoe comes very timely in a selection of colorways that includes Green, Orange, Lemon, Black, and off-White. During this warm season, it is best to wear something light and comfortable like this Match Classic HF.

From time to time, sneaker brands and leading shops find the best piece for collaboration. While working with Adidas, shop CLOT introduced a concept from the popular movie, Star Wars. The whole view of it was employed on the Adidas Originals Skate High “HOTH” which now resembles an exceptional character from the film.

CLOT utilized quilted Brown and Tan nubuck on the upper. The 3 Stripes logo was presented in detail on the side as it comes in plain Brown. Also, the forefoot, lace panel, heel base, collar, and strap were done up in the same darker nubuck tone.

Accents come across with the bright Orange eyelets, Purple Adidas leaf logo on the strap, exclusive tongue labels, and Navy Blue patent strip on the side base. But who wouldn’t notice of the peeking fuzzy stuff on the collar? – That is the shoe’s interior liner which was made up of White fur to keep the foot warm. The furry material lined up the lacing area wherein White eyelets and shoe laces give perfect complement.

As for the bottom, a White midsole is a safe choice together with a Brown outsole.

The Adidas Originals Skate High HOTH x Star Wars x CLOT is being accompanied by a special tee in light Grey with Blue Stripes and Silver embroidered logos.

It’s been a while since the last time that we saw New Balance models equipped with the Gore-Tex technology. But for a succinct discussion, let us examine what the Gore-Tex really is and how come it was implemented on footwear such as the New Balance MTG580.

Gore-Tex is considered to be a material that is typically based on thermo-mechanically expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and other fluoropolymer products. It is best known for its use in protective yet breathable rain wear. This characteristic motivated New Balance to apply Gore-Tex on its shoes thus furnishing the MTG580 such durable composition which resists water.

Without further a do, we can see the New Balance MTG580 in an Olive colorway in which it took inspiration from the MA-1 flight jacket. The Ripstop exterior was coupled with leather trimming and a unique spot for the Velcro-backed “N” logo on the side panel. This feature allows you to pick the patch logo of your choice from Olive and Orange.

While the whole upper wears a strong hue, the inner liner adopted an Orange surface to keep the balance and contrast. The Gore-Tex plate appears just below the collar and on the tongue is a New Balance MTG580 slogan.

This military appealing New Balance will drop sometime in July.

Nike maintains a regular lineup of running sneakers where the Air Max 1 belongs. From its first release in 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 boasted a unique air cushioning unit which was originally visible on the side until it appeared on both sides and back. Seeing the air unit as a beneficial feature, Nike extended its appearance on the forefoot. Since its debut, Nike has frequently introduced fresh and updated models in the same product line.

Today, we are privileged to review the Air Max 1 in its 2010 releases. Luckily, Nike has unleashed two colorways – the Bright Yellow Lemon and the Purple/Pink/Yellow.

To begin with, let us consider the simpler colorway which is the Bright Yellow Lemon. This shoe received a mixture of White mesh found on the toe and collar while on the other hand, a Grey leather wraps up the mudguard through the heel. The same tone was also applied on the Swoosh and on the trimming across the toe.

Turning on to the next color-up which is the Purple/Pink/Yellow, we can see a lot more interesting facets such as the suede and mesh team-up. The Purple part comes from the mudguard, baseline, Swoosh, and top lace holder pedestal while the Pink inner liner definitely catches everyone’s attention. Yellow top eyelets in plastic add the flair as they match-up the Nike tongue logo. Other colors that make this shoe look vibrant are Grey (suede) and White (mesh).

To sum it up, both colorways were granted with the Air Max 1’s cushioning technology which was designed to beat any running obstacles and to be this generation’s best athletic footwear.

Just like every other team in the NCAA Tournament, the Duke Blue Devils want to win it all. They are a number 1 seed, which can come in their favor. Im sure most of us know that Kobe Bryant didn’t play college ball. But he said several times, that if he didn’t go straight to the NBA from High School, he would play for the Duke Blue Devils. So with that said, this choice of University is pretty strait forward. This shoe is absolutely stunning! The colorway is just so electric, with its bold use of blue. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that these will release tomorrow, March 17, 2010 at Footlocker’s House of Hoops locations. Are you going to pick these up?
