Another nice piece of Puma’s Rudolf Dassler collection, the Einfluss takes the classic approach into the future with some fashionable touches. Like the Wellengang, the Einfluss features some premium materials and a sophisticated look. A wide strap covers the shoe’s midsection and the tongue and ankle lining feature sections of mesh. One of the Einfluss’s most noticable aspects is the low cut on the heel section of the midsole that allows the upper to extend down much further than usually seen on a sneaker. This model also features the “Rudolf Dassler” tongue label and the classic Puma logo. Look for these to hit shelves with the Wellengang later this year. via kenlu.

The ALIFE Everybody Mid is back with a new look for Spring 2009.  Everybodys are clearly a takeoff on the classic Nike Dunk silhouette, so it’s not surprising that one of the two key design elements is being used by the Swoosh as well: nylon uppers.  To add some originality, the good folks down at Rivington St. applied something of a checkerboard pattern, except that half of the contrast has been removed.  The effect is something of a grid of coloured squares laid atop a black base.  Available in green, blue and red, these are ready now at flauge.

Supra’s Suprano Hi is making quite a name for itself.  Otherwise known as Jim Greco’s Pro Model, the strappy skater is getting more love now that Supra is well established thanks to the soaring success that is the Chad Muska Skytop.  It’s time for Greco to spread the love around, so naturally, he chose his own skateboard company for a collabo.

Dreamed up in conjunction with Deathwish, the pack consists of Greco’s treads and the Diablo Lo.  The Diablo rocks a simple black and yellow design atop a white midsole, while the outrageous Suprano, according to Greco, “was influenced by the Black guy from the mental institution in Nightmare on Elm Street 4 (Dream Masters) because he had some Red Hightops on.”   These are ready now at Supra accounts like SkateAmerica.  via SnkrFrkr

Do not adjust your monitors. These Puma’s are not in fact melting. What they are though, is one of the most creative sneaker designs seen in a while. Images popped up a few months back of a high-top silver model using this dripping sole mold and now we get a look at a low version. Designed by frequent Puma collaborator, Mihara Yasuhiro, this shoe is a unique combination of art and fashion. While this low model may not be quite as flashy as the silver version, the red, white and blue gives this sneaker some personality of its own. The gum sole gives the shoe a classic look, but its fashion-forward aesthetic will immediately separate it from anything else on the shelves. Expect these to arrive at select Puma retailers in time for the spring/summer season. via kenlu.

Last week, we got a good look at the new Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III.  Those were in the ‘primary’ black/white/red colourway, and now we have a pair that emphasizes the Cleveland Cavaliers’ other colours.  This new pair is mostly navy blue and white with a little red to fully tie in the Cavs’ uniforms.  King James will rock these come playoff time and we expect both pairs in late spring/early summer.

Last week, we showed you some nice looks at the women’s Court Force and Vandal Low from Nike’s recently released Pucci pack. Now the Outbreak High will join the others in displaying some colorful designs inspired by late fashion designer, Emilio Pucci. Unlike the other two models, which only used the Pucci design on select panels, the Outbreak’s entire upper features the pattern. With a closer look, you can see that the design is comprised of sneakers and laces in bright pastel colors. The shoe also sports a fresh grey midsole with liquid lime highlights and the same gold bow dubrae seen on the Court Force and Vandal. Look for these now at select Nike retailers including nikestore.com. via nitrolicious.

The latest Blazer to hit the shelves comes courtesy of Nike’s casual NYX line.  The Blazer has been in heavy rotation lately, getting all types of imaginative style treatments. This new edition continues the evolution of the Blazer with a thinly spaced curving stripe design swooping across the shoe’s grey upper. A white midsole and black toe cap join some black accents and a tan NYX tongue label to complete the crisp muted color scheme. Everything seems to come together nicely, helping this Blazer model to hold its own with many of the more extravagant versions that have recently dropped. If you like what you see, you can get a pair now at finishline.

This past Summer, Nike’s Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon hosted Lebron James while he was on his “World Tour” and to celebrate the occasion of Lebron’s visit the Nike Basketball folks decided to create this special Nike Zoom Lebron VI Beaverton/World Tour Exclusive shoe, as you can see by the Promo tag on the inside of the shoe, the shoes have to be pretty limited. Additionally the words Beaverton, OR and the date that Lebron visited are sewn into the shoe’s tongue. While we’re sure some of you are disappointed a dope colorway like this is not coming to retail, keep your fingers crossed, as it seems Nike has relesed numerous colorways of King James’ sixth signature shoe, they might pop up at select Nike Basketball retailers some day. via nikelebron.net

White on white has always been a popular theme for certain sneakers, particularly the Nike Air Force 1, but it’s not too often that we see it applied to the Nike Blazer.  Here we have white out Nike Blazer mixed up with a nice variety and textures and materials.  Textured, soft looking leather covers the entire upper accompanied by a white, patent leather Swoosh and a subtle strip of elephant print just above the mid-sole, which is also all white.  Look for these at Nike Sportswear retailers or just head to Vault Harlem to pick them up in NYC or over the phone.
