Last week, we gave you a sneak preview of this Nike Air Max 1 and the Quickstrike Microstripe pack that it is a part of, and now we present some detailed images of this super-fresh springtime release. These kicks feature a canvas upper, completely covered by thinly spaced University Blue stripes over a white base.  The pattern changes slightly on the toe box and around the ankle with the lines becoming much finer, creating a more solid appearance on those sections in the process. White accents are incorporated on the Swoosh, midsole, lining and laces, with a classic gum outsole supplying a final style touch. Look for these now at Nike Quickstrike accounts but also at nikestore.com.

We’ve already shown you the two men’s styles from the “Pro-Keds for Jeffrey” collaboration, but don’t worry ladies. There will, of course, be something for the women too. The Keds Champion Oxford provides some fun, colorful options for female feet this spring, offering the simple, classic style in four new colorways. The Champion Oxford will be available in vibrant shades of green, orange and yellow, with a more subtle navy version rounding out the collection. All four come in solid suede uppers with clean white midsoles and laces and feature a “Keds for Jeffrey” label on the insole. These will be arriving at Jeffrey along with the two men’s models on April 1st. via Freshness.

With so many extra-high cut sneakers enjoying such immense popularity at the moment, Pro-Keds will join in the fun with their Royal Master Super High. Like the CVO Royal Slip-On that we showed you earlier, these kicks have been created exclusively for Pro-Keds’ collaboration with upscale shop, Jeffrey. Unlike the flashier high-tops offered by other brands, the Royal Master Super High features a more conservative back-to-basics approach, while still managing to pack an impressive style punch as well. White and black colorways will be available, both with an entirely monochromatic color scheme from the uppers down to the midsoles. Both pairs also feature a zipper for easy on/off and a tongue label that reads “Pro-Keds for Jeffrey.” Like the Slip-On, these will be available exclusively at Jeffrey starting April 1st. via Freshness.

The first Puma Easy Rider we saw had a rugged vintage feel, but these have a decidedly more modern aesthetic.  The Puma Easy Rider Trek appears here in the first of two bright colourways (stay tuned to Sneaker News for the other pair later today).  This one is the calmer of the set, but still stands out with its yellow lining, bright green laces and touches of these colours on the mid and outsole.  A look that exemplifies the emerging growth of spring, these are available now at Sneakers n Stuff.

Legendary sneaker brand, Pro-Keds, has created a special collection of kicks exclusively for high-end New York/Atlanta retailer, Jeffrey. In addition to their reputation for style and selection, Jeffrey is also no stranger to outside collaborations like the recent Red! Collection that they did with Lacoste. The Pro-Keds CVO Royal Slip-On is one of three models that has been remixed for release at the ultra-hip Jeffrey store. The Royal Slip-On features a classic look with solid suede uppers and Pro-Keds’ trademark stripe appearing at the edge of the toe cap. Four colorways, including navy, chocolate, and bright green and orange will be available at Jeffrey beginning April 1st. via Freshness.

Not quite safari, not quite elephant, this new squiggly print featured on two pairs of Terminators earlier today *is* quite satisfying.  Here is a new Nike Air Revaderchi Premium ND in the same colourway as the first of those nifty new Terminators.  The sock and side panel are their usual elastic nylon and mesh, respectively and the toe is done in grey suede.  Aside from the eyelet strap and its rubber bracket, the rest of the entire shoe is covered in this exciting, as yet unnamed pattern.  If you’re excited as we are about adding a new texture to the Nike catalogue, you can pre-order these now at Sakura Sports in advance of their April 4th release.  Some pics via Fuctard

With their frayed stitches and scuffed leather, this pair of Puma Easy Rider Vintage runners is as rough around the edges as the main characters of the movie from which they borrowed the name.  This pair appears with a tonal brown upper, contrasting chocolate leather with a lighter shade of nylon laid beneath.  The white midsoles and laces are both pre-yellowed to cement that classic vintage look.  With only 550 pairs available worldwide, these are a tough cop, but you can find US sizes 9 and 10 at Sneakers n Stuff.

Lately we have seen much to do about the Air Jordan V, with a Defining Moments pack and patent leather version bringing Jordan’s fifth signature shoe into the limelight of most sneaker heads’ near future copping contemplations.  These Vs, however, might make it into your contemplation but it will be highly unlikely that such contemplations will come to fruition as these Phoenix Suns Air Jordan Vs were designed exclusively for Shawn Marion.

During the 9 years his small/power forward skills were utilized by the Suns, Marion was fortunate enough to get his share of Jordan Brand PEs, including these home and away colored Air Jordan Vs.  Purple and orange are used on the out-sole/mid-sole while the inner being colored with purple.  Enjoy the picture above and after the jump, because these types of PEs don’t come around too often.  via SpurSniperSeven of NikeTalk

We showed you Clae’s Spring 2009 collection back in February, and we’re starting to see them in stores.  Among the new drops are a pair of camel brown McQueens pictured above, featuring just-darker-than-seafoam green accents.  There are three pairs of new Russel midtops, with one in white leather and a pair each in navy blue and black ballistic nylon.  Brown and black pairs of Romares round up the lineup.  You can cop any or all of these now at Clae retailers like Vault.

Like the Terminator Low that we showed you earlier, this Nike Terminator Hi Premium ND is part of an upcoming pack that uses an interesting pattern that is not quite Elephant and definitely not Safari, but has the feel of something in that neighborhood. Unlike the Terminator Low, which uses the pattern only on certain panels, this high model is entirely covered with the print, also using various sizes and color combinations to bring it to life. The pattern covers much of the upper in shades of grey, white and metallic platinum with a solid white Swoosh, midsole and laces to balance the design. A few Hyper Verde accents are also thrown in to add a little color to the mix. Like the low model, these are set to drop on April 4th, but you can get them now at SasakuraSports.

The Terminator Low doesn’t seem to get to have as much fun as some other Nike Retro models, but it looks like that is gradually changing.  The Mint Safari edition that we showed you last month has apparently opened up new doors for the Terminator Low, as evidenced by this new Premium ND model. This shoe will be part of an upcoming pack that uses a new organic-looking pattern that appears in all different sizes and colors on different sections of the sneaker. With the exception of the solid white toe box, Swoosh and midsole, the pattern appears in various shades of grey and green throughout, with some bright green laces to help bring it all together.  These are scheduled for release on April 4th, but SasakuraSports has them in stock already.

Earlier today, we got a glimpse of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Polka Dots, and these are relatively bizarro.  This pair of Air Jordan 1 Phat Lows flips the black and white colour scheme.  The white midsole/black outsole stays the same, but all of the other aspects have been inverted.  One other thing remains the same: though they’re set for an official release on April 1st, 2009, but you can get these now at select retailers.  via Sneak
