Even though there is still some time before Mardis Gras (this year it falls on February, 24), Reebok is already anticipating the carnival with a special edition of the ERS 5000.  The shoe styled after one of the best known parties in the world comes in a festive yellow/purple/green/gold colorway that is sure to turn some heads.  On the sole, you will find the purple, green and purple while the upper has the same colors with some gold accents on the mid-panel and around the ankle.  The insole and hang-tag both feature the printed image of a Venetian Carnival Mask, which is symbolic of the the Carnival of Venice that comes on a close right on Mardis Gras.  No word on how widely available these will be, but they are now available at Solebox.

The last time we heard anything about the Nike Air Terra Humara it was back in December in a black/yellow colorway.  For all you who are still feeling the bitter cold winter of 2009, Nike Sportswear is putting out another colorway of the Air Terra Humara in this clean Faded Taupe/Solar Orange-Black-Olive Khaki.  For those who may forget why the Air Terr Humara is such a favorable sneaker during the winter months, the shoe features a water-resistant, synthetic leather and mesh upper that helps keep out the rain, slush, snow and mud (but there are accommodations that still allow your feet to be ventilated in order to avoid discomfort).

While the upper keeps your feet dry and warm, the sole keeps you from slipping as the mid-sole is equipped with a PU/Phylon interlocking material while the out-sole is styled with G-TEK traction technology for added grip.  Don’t worry about comfort either, as there is a Nike Air bubble present to reinforce cushioning.  Look for these at select Nike Sportswear dealers come February.  via Chajinyoung

Just a little over a month ago, we discovered an unreleased Dunk High SB in Mint Chocolate Chip colors, the only problem, the price was a fixed $2500. The same seller has decided to let the pair go on auction so there’s a chance they’ll be lower than the $2500 or maybe even higher. The upper features what looks to be premium leathers and suedes. The toebox and side panels, in black and mint green respectively, are in tumbled leather. The toe area and lower part of the heel is in a black suede, the eyelets are in a mint green suede and upper heel is in a black tumbled leather.
