Photos of the Coraline Dunk were leaked on the internet by the author of Coraline, Neil Gaiman and many of the influential around the world already had hints of the Dunk. Our family at Freshness just put up images of a special edition of the Coraline Dunk which must be one of the most unique special edition sneaker ever made. The upper of this pair features a unique hand sewn black visible seam, a cat and mouse lace locks and matching tails. Director Henry Selick designed the oversize buttons found on only 100 pairs and fifty boxes contain actual props from the movie. Completing the nice overall package is a glow in the dark outsole. For those of you who want a pair of these will have to go check out the movie, opening February 6th and make sure to stay after the credits for a clue.

The adidas Originals OBYO Collection features three complete adidas capsule collections with three different designers including Kazuki of fragment design, who worked with adidas Originals on this OBYO KZK shoe that features a Black, White, and Red colorway in addition to a Gore-Tex material on the shoe’s upper that is used to make the shoes waterproof. While Kazuki’s entire adidas OBYO collection includes a greater number of pieces including more footwear styles in addition to apparel, we must say that this pair that has just been released at select adidas Originals retailers is one of the best pairs of adidas sneakers we’ve seen in a while. You can pick up your pair now at colette.

With exception of the Jordan III’s and IV’s, which are already on the low side, pretty much every classic Jordan shoe has been eventually released in a low version as a retro model. Finally, the AJ VII can join the party. Like the Fusions, Jordan Lows are a touchy subject with some purists, but there are many collectors who don’t wear high-tops, but still love and appreciate the Jordan mystique. Although this white/citrus version is just an unreleased sample, hopefully the folks at Jordan will decide to pull the trigger on releasing these. via kenlu.

The newest Nike Women’s Air Force 1 to hit retailers is this AF1 Low in a simple White, White, and Rave Pink colorway that features the Mica print that we’ve seen on the WMNS Air Force 1 High Premium that was release earlier this month. The shoe’s upper is all White on White with the exception of the shoe’s heel “Nike Air” logo being in Rave Pink, additionally the outsole is colored in Rave Pink to match the heel logo and give the shoe some pop. One of the best features of this AF1 however is the new Mica print that we’ve seen Nike use on a number of Women’s Air Force 1′s this Spring 2009 season. You can pick your pair up now on ebay.

As Spring is slowly creeping up, many of the Nike Sportswear Spring 2009 styles are also making their way to retail. Above is part of a pack of women’s Air Max 90s with simple two tone color blocking, with this particular pair in abyss (dark purple) and volt (neon yellow-green). Similar to most regular release Air Max 90s for men the past few months, material choice for this pair and the pack is also fairly simple with just a synthetic leather upper and use of knitted mesh in the toebox and upper heel. Look for this colorway in US based retailers in the upcoming weeks but in Asia they are already in most Nike retailers, we found them on ebay.

This Valentines day, Nike has a few interesting sneakers coming out for the ladies. The above Blazer Low in red and white color blocking features a pattern we’ve seen recently in an Air Force 2 High. What’s interesting about the two are the skeletons with hearts replacing the eye socket, while v-day is generally more about love, the pattern seem call out poison more. Look for this colorway exclusively in Asia based retailers now, but you can also find them on ebay. Photos: Kixpress

By 1996, Ken Griffey Jr. was already well on his way to becoming one of baseball’s all-time greats. The fame, fortune and glory were nice, but we all know there is nothing quite like getting your own signature Nike sneaker. Unfortunately, Griffey’s promising career was eventually derailed by a string of injuries and his potential record-shattering paces were slowed significantly, but at the end of the day, he’s still got the shoes. Now you can have them too. The popular Air Griffey Max 1 is finally back in the black and white colorway with Fresh Water green accents to show his then Seattle Mariner pride. These are reported to be widely released in April, but you can get them now at Osneaker.
Also available now at nikestore.com.

When the Air Max Classic BW first hit the shelves back in 1991 in the original Black/Persian Violet colorway, they looked like something sent back from the future. With the vibrant color scheme and extra large visible air bubble, the BW was like no Nike shoe ever seen before and quickly became a fan favorite. It might not look so revolutionary nowadays, but this sneaker is still very near and dear to a lot of collectors’ hearts. Many alternate colorways have been released over the years, but none ever looked quite as fresh as the Persian Violets. This black/red/white sample come pretty close though, sticking to the original color scheme, but simply swapping out the violet for red. These are only a sample, but will hopefully be available some time in 2009. via Niketalk.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Infrared was released in Asia today and to the surprise of many (and for the better) the materials and colors have been changed! Infrared is no more, the color has been changed to Max Orange which is a dark rich orange along with black on the upper and a white midsole. Another big change is the infrared patent leather which has been changed to Max Orange nylon, the black pieces on the upper is also made of nylon. Which this change, many are agreeing the new materials and color is much better and has slight resemblance to the AJKO. As mentioned, this colorway is now available in Asia and will hit the US on January 31st. For those of you who can’t wait, they’ve found their way onto eBay.

One of the original shoes that helped Nike jump start it’s Nike ACG collection of apparel and footwear was this Nike Air Mowabb in 1991 and while several shoes have drawn inspiration from this shoe’s colorway, they still don’t come close to the original. The Nike Air Mowabb will be released in it’s original colorway of Cream, Bright Mandarin, and Camel as a Quickstrike release, meaning limited pairs in only the best Nike retail doors, at the end of this month. Our friends over in Japan at Atmos will have them on January 31st, 2009.
