The hits just keep on comin’ from vaults of all sorts. We just saw some stunners from Vans Vault, but the kicks pictured above were shown *at* a vault: Limited Edt Vault, to be precise. With the recent MTG580 pack, the ‘Full Metallic Jacket’ super-collabo and all of the others we’ve seen, you probably wonder how New Balance can keep pumping life into this model. At least for now, the answer is as simple as gazing upon these tonal beauties. Featuring at least seven versions in tonal suede, the New Balance 580 is set to have quite a year. Take a look at all the pics after the jump, then find another job, cos late 2009 is fixin’ ta be special. via STREEThing//edited by Sneaker News

Here are a few more from the LEV event in Singapore. The New Balance 1500 is one of the cleanest models in their numbered running series and these new pairs use colourblocking similar to the excellent Provider collaboration. Two pairs feature black and grey uppers with purple or gold mudguards, while a pair in light grey and white finds contrast in a beautiful cobalt blue extended toe area. When we saw the first and last pairs back at Bread & Butter, there were a couple others, and we still expect all of them to drop this fall. Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll dish you the latest info. via STREEThing

To no one’s surprise, it looks like there are plenty more treasures left in the mystifying Vans Vault. The latest kicks to emerge from the Vault will be a wild croc skin Sk8-Hi LX pack, and as we all know, nothing quite says lux like croc skin. The collection boasts three colorways of the classic skate shoe using the stylish croc material to construct the uppers. The red and honey versions feature solid uppers with white midsoles and laces. The third model looks like more of a retro style thanks to its classic black and white color scheme. Word is that this Sk8-Hi LX pack will be part of the Vans Vault Fall 2009 collection. via marcustroy.

The new Nike Court Low U features a textured, Blazer-like midsole, but no one would call them a ‘hybrid’. That’s not the case for this new release. The Nike Air Force 180 x Blazer Hybrid is probably not the official name for this shoe, but in the absence of more information, we’re satisfied with this working title. Featuring the Air Force 180‘s upper including the familiar strap, these are conspicuously missing the 180-style Air bubble that gave these kicks their name. Four new colours are pictured in this post (click after the jump to see the rest). We’ll humbly reiterate the relative lack of info on these, but rest assured Sneaker News will keep you updated as more info on this interesting new hybrid becomes available. via Chajin Young//edited by Sneaker News
3/25 Update:
We have come to learn that this shoe is officially dubbed ‘Nike Auto Force’, and is a key player in the upcoming ‘Force vs. Flight Story’ collection. Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll hit you off with the latest info as more becomes available.

The flashy “high gloss” version of the Nike Vandal High is nothing new, but these two colorways are. By now, you’ve probably already seen the silver, gold and blue editions, and now Nike has added a red and a white colorway to the high gloss line-up. Both pairs feature an extra-shiny leather material on the upper with a puffy effect used for some added flavor. The red pair features a solid upper with some contrasting white accents and black laces. The other colorway is pretty much a white on white scheme, but it uses some metallic silver trim to spice things up a bit. Both pair are now available for the ladies at nikestore.

As promised, here are more of the New Balance show-offs recently on display at Singapores Limited Edt Vault. This pack of New Balance 580s picks up where the Gore-Tex-equipped MTG580 left off, adding futuristic gradients to the MTG’s bright palettes. They also use a similar effect to the ‘Full Metallic Jacket’ joints we’ve seen recently, though the gradient is extended from the midsole to the entire shoe on these. One pair fades from fucshia to bright yellow and looks just like (insert your favourite fruit candy) while the other opts for a simple white to black fade. Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll update you on these and other releases from the LEV event. via STREEThing//edited by Sneaker News

The Nike Blazer has been getting lots of love lately and here are a ton of new models. There’s no solid release dates or other info on these yet, so we expect them late this year or perhaps early in 2010. There are several unnamed ‘packs’ here, so let’s run down the list: we see nine Blazers in total with a stripe of accent colour just above the midsole. Two of them feature moccasin-style vertical stitching and Swooshes made of perforations that reveal that contrasting colour in the side panel underlay. The other seven feature that same stripe, but with ‘standard’ stitching. One of this last group features hooks in place of the top three eyelets for a boot-like appearance. Last but not least are two ‘wild’ looking joints: pictured above, we see one with a lizard-like scaly upper, the other with claw marks revealing a PS3-like underlay. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more info on what is fast becoming one of Beaverton’s showcase models. via Chajin Young//edited by Sneaker News

Lots of heat for the women’s sneakers lately, this pair Nike Vandal High Quickstrike features a high gloss finish made of synthetic coated knit in gold with silver detailing which was inspired by Moncler- it will also be available in silver. The high gloss finish is extremely sleek and the puffiness of the material gives it a ‘bubble’ feel, it looks like a bubble jacket for your feet. The gold and silver were slated release late December but looks like the they’ve only just started to hit retailers. Look for these now at select Nike retailers but if you can’t find them, they are available on nikestore.com.
Style: 318560-771
Color: Metallic Gold-Metallic Silver

Fresh off the slightly early release of three of their brethren, here are the rest of the April 2009 releases from Nike Skateboarding. There are three more releases here: one more each of the Dunk and Blazer and a nice new Zoom Tre A.D. The Nike SB Blazer Low is ready for spring and all the accompanying patriotic activities in its white construction featuring red and navy blue accents. The Tre model appears in the ever-popular Chicago Bulls colourway, while the Dunk Low Pro dons a simple black/white colourway. As long as you promise not to call the Dunks ‘Venoms’, ‘Skytroopers’, ‘Vaders’ or anything else, you can cop them or any of the other April drops from Nike SB retailers like CCS.

With the great success of the fragment design x uniform experiment Tennis Classics and the A.P.C.-designed All Courts, here’s another low profile kick your grandma would be correct to call ‘tennis shoes’. The Nike Court Low U is another simple lowtop that’s perfect for spring and summer. Appearing in white, this perforated leather shoe finds the simplest of accents in black Swooshes and heel tabs. STREEThing reports they’re available at select Nike retailers in SE Asia, but we found them on eBay.
