Nike and Nintendo have collaborated to design a new sneaker. They have used the Nike Air Force 2 and added inspiration from the Nintendo Wii. This shoe features a multi-textured shoe upper. The colors used are white, metallic silver elephant, white leather and white mesh. This shoe will go on sale in April 2009.

The toe box is a solo piece that has very neat rows of perforations. It ends with a panel of leather crossing the upper from end to end. The midsection has a segment in clear plastic, like a window, that is framed by the surrounding leather. If the user wears colored socks, they will show and make a complement to the shoe. I like this feature of the shoe.

The ankle collar of the shoe is white and below it is the patterned leather. The lower part of the heel is in white leather again. The design of the grey colored frame around the ankle and heel makes the shoe look interesting. The white Nike swoosh is attached over the clear plastic panel. The tongue has a Nike swoosh set within a mock button to switch on/off the Nintendo Wii. The back of the heel has a small reinforcement. The midsole is thick and has a no fuss design.

We are so used to seeing the classic Chuck Taylor in canvas, that the Leather Pack offers a very different look. Here is the navy leather version of the Converse Chuck Taylor.

The colorway is very simple, yet still special. Navy is a nice change of pace compared to black. You can get these kicks right now at UNDFTD in both the high and low versions. I don’t like the Low at all, but the Hi isn’t bad. Via High Snobiety.

This year we have seen a lot more shoes that are hybrid to look like hiking boots and here’s another. This time it’s the New Balance A03 CT.

These kicks offer a mix of blue suede, black nylon and mesh, along with a fleece collar to give them a very wintery look. You can get these shoes right now at select New Balance retailers.

I like the combination of the black with the blue and unlike other shoe-boots, these don’t look too clunky. Via High Snobiety.

D@ Prince Customs created a pair of Nike Dunks last year based on the lovable character Tigger. A client recently asked the designer to repeat this feat on a pair of white Air Force Ones. I found the results of this second effort by D@ Prince at his NikeTalk post linked here.

The left shoe shows Tigger landing after a healthy pounce while the right shoe shows Tigger’s smiling face up close. Instead of using black paint on the middle panel like his Dunks, D@ Prince added some black/orange stripes with a white background to keep the focus on Tigger. The designer added the name Zaneta on each heel to customize these shoes for the client.

I think D@ Prince acquitted himself well in his second try at a pair of Tigger-themed sneakers. His replication of the beloved cartoon character was impeccable on both shoes but I think that the black/orange elements frame Tigger better on the Air Force Ones.

Early October we showed you what Brand Jordan hopes to release this upcoming Summer. Today we bring you part two of their Spring/Summer 2009 releases. More High Strap 1s, a new Derek Jeter model and an Easter Pack are just a little of what is to be expected. Plenty of pics to check out after the jump.

Here’s a peek at the Greedy Genius holiday pack with the holiday version of the Cool Breeze. These sneakers, dubbed the “Adirondack” feature a “brown oily leather” combined with green quilted canvas and blue 3M accents.

These shoes, like many others, will be released on “Black Friday” – November 28th, the day after Thanksgiving, which is normally one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Get them at your local Greedy Genius retailer. They look great for the cold weather. Via Hypebeast.
