Having seen a few dope releases already this year, the Nike Tennis Classic is back for more.  This pair is done in a mix of mesh and leather, and of course, they’re mostly white.  The mesh side panels are a nice contrast, adding texture to the otherwise leather upper, but the touches of sport red on the tongue, heel and outsole are what make this pair a standout.  Absolutely perfect for late spring and summer, these joints are available now at Sneakers N Stuff.  via SneakersBR

Vans and German sneaker giants, Solebox, have come together to create a very special collaboration sneaker. We showed you a sneak peek of these last month and now we have a detailed look at this creative endeavor. The Old Skool was chosen to be the subject of this project because of its legendary, yet underrated status. The shoe features a funky black and white plaid fabric on the upper with a white midsole and red accents. A dove graphic was chosen for the tongue logo as a universal symbol of peace and a Solebox logo appears on the insole. This Old Skool has been upgraded from the classic version with a Vans Vault footbed for improved comfort. Unfortunately, these kicks will be limited to only 60 pairs when they drop in May, so continue to check Sneaker News and Solebox for the specific release date. Via CrookedTongues.

Hip-hop producer extraordinaire, 9th Wonder, has teamed up with Puma for an interesting new sneaker collaboration. The shoe uses a simple black upper for its base, but the shoe is loaded with fresh touches. The shoe features a black on black 9 on the side of the upper on one side, with a shout out to 9th Wonder’s Justus League crew on the other and a “J” and “L” on the respective heels of the left and right shoe. This sneaker also sports a clear midsole and red, white and blue stitching on the Puma stripe and on alternating eyelet rings. As if that wasn’t enough, there are some more personal touches inside the tongue, on the insole and there is even a 919 area code nod on the sole. No word if these will be available for retail, but we will keep you posted. Via CliffNotes.

If you’re a fan of the Nike ACG Wild Peg hybrid shoe, get ready for the wildest colorway yet. The Air Wildwood and Air Pegasus have both been making nice comebacks in 2009 and although they may be a somewhat unlikely pairing, everything came together nicely on the Wild Peg. We’ve already shown you a few Wild Peg colorways, but this one is by far the boldest. The shoe features a black base with several vibrant accent colors thrown into the mix. Bright shades of Turquoise, Pink and Volt Yellow adorn various sections of the upper and really pop against the black foundation. If you want to stick out in the crowd this spring, you can pick up a pair now at EastWestWorldwide. Via HighSnobiety.

You may have already seen our previews of the Air Max 1 and the Blazer Mid from Nike’s Lunar Pack, but now that they have begun to hit stores, some more images have begun to pop up. Nike will recognize the 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong  walking on the moon with two lunar-inspired models. The Air Max 1 sports a black leather upper with a mesh black toe box and a metallic silver midsole and accents, but the standout feature of these kicks is the moon crater design that is embossed into the mudguard. The Blazer Mid also features a black base with neon yellow laces and stitching, as well as a white midsole and a metallic silver Swoosh that also flaunts a crater-like texture. Both pairs are now available at Standard.

Last week, we gave you a preview of this fresh new Air Max 90 colorway and now we have some more images for you to sink your teeth into. The shoe pulls off a classic look by sticking to a traditional color scheme. This Air Max 90 features a white leather base with sections of white mesh and a black side panel at the bottom edge of the upper. Crisp royal blue accents are sprinkled throughout the design on the Swoosh, eyelet panels and a few other choice spots like the midsole section around the Air bubble. If you’ve been checking for availability ever since you saw these last week, be advised that they have already been released at select Nike retailers such as Purchaze.

Though Ray Allen’s Jordan Brand kicks in Celtic green are consistently impressive, he’s not the only Beantown baller with dope PEs.  The Nike Zoom Sharkley Paul Pierce PE for the Celts’ home games this Playoff season is a rugged look for the increasingly physical games as we march toward the Larry O’Brien trophy.  Featuring a simple white on green colourway, these joints have the ‘P2′ logo embroidered on the heel so you know for sure whose they are.  It’s unlikely that these will ever see retail shelves, but then again, Nike has released a ton of PE sneakers lately.  Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll pass along any new info.  via NT

Fresh off the Polka Dot Pack, atmos and Reebok got up for two other brightly coloured Pumps.  The atmos x Reebok Pump Omni Lite Hologram Pack includes a pair each in silver or black.  The key feature on both is a dope hologram effect laid over the leather uppers that give off an irridescent or rainbow reflection on the silver and black pairs, respectively.  Interestingly enough, we didn’t find these at atmos, but this is good news for US sneakerheads.  If you’re entraced by the hologram pattern, cop these now from Kix-Files.

Here’s another crazy design that proves the Chuck still has a few tricks up his sleeve.  The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Low appears here in a metallic croc skin do-up that features a ton of colours.  On the forefoot area, it’s mostly white with blue outlining the scales, which fades into a combination of black and red, making the blue outlines more pronounced.  Toss in red stitching and the classic white Chuck Taylor sole and these are all at once flashy and classy.  A France-exclusive, they’re set to drop later this month.  via Hypequest
