We got a glimpse at these two weeks ago, and these new pictures give us a better idea of what to expect from this superstar collaboration. It’s clear from these new images that the Nike Terminator High Supreme Directed by Swagger is in fact one pair of shoes comprised of two different coloured kicks. Both rock a shiny faux-croc material, with teh left shoe in mohagany and the right in turquoise. These pics also show that the humongous lacelocks say ‘SWG’, as opposed to our first impression that suggested ‘SWAG’. We can see these becoming the next big collaboration to fill the vacuum the Nike Air Yeezy will leave after the various releases conclude, so you can count on Sneaker News to bring you new pics and information as soon as we know more.

It looks like the trend of candy-inspired sneakers will continue. In their latest collaboration, the atmos x Reebok Pump Omni Lite Polka Dot draws design cues from those gooey gumdrops that appear with the shoes in these pictures. Like the New Balance joints released last month, these have a purple base through which the rainbow-dotted underlay peeks. Throw in neon green Pumps and eyelet waves and these scream ‘Sour Patch Kids’. No word on the exact release date yet, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via HB

Visvim has been hot in the upscale lifestyle sneakers and shoes market for long enough to be a recognized leader in this category. Their influence is so pronounced that even Clarks is taking design cues from this model to celebrate the 60th anniversary of their legendary Desert Boot. The Visfim FBT Lattice appears here in five new colours. The red and blue pairs are the standout pairs, but you can’t go wrong with new editions in black, white or brown. These joints are available now at the F.I.L. flagships in Asia. via Hiroki Nakamura

We all know by now that there are a lot of differing opinions regarding the growing Air Jordan Force Fusion line. It is easy to understand that some models did not translate well into hybrid designs, but in the case of the ones that stuck pretty close to the original Air Jordan formulas, there is not a whole lot to complain about. Air Jordan purists may still hate on every Fusion that emerges, but the Air Jordan Force IV doesn’t seem to have too much to criticize. For the most part, aside from the obvious Air Force 1 midsole and some subtle changes on the toe, these kicks stay as true as possible to the original. Now that the side netting has replaced the perforated side panels seen on previous samples, the AJF IV may be the most eagerly anticipated Air Jordan Force model yet. The Air Jordan IV is one of the most beloved sneakers of all time and this Military Blue colorway is among the most coveted versions ever dropped. If you are keeping an open mind towards Fusions, these are available now at MarqueeSole with a wider release expected in the coming months. Via NT.

You don’t have to work too hard to make the Air Max 1 look good, and Nike keeps proving it with one fresh release after another. This time around, it’s the ladies who will benefit as we take a look at a very crisp new women’s Air Max 1. The shoe features a solid white upper with a combination of leather and mesh for its construction. Add to that a shiny Metallic Silver midsole and accents, as well as additional Lemon and Turquoise highlights, and you have a nice spring sneaker with a little bit of flash to them. This Air Max 1 also sports some bright Lemon Yellow laces to throw a little more color onto the solid white base of the upper. If you ladies are looking at these as a must-have, you can grab a pair right now on eBay.

A few weeks back, we gave you a look at this new collaboration between rapper, Lupe Fiasco, and Converse. As part of the PRODUCT (RED) line, Converse and Lupe will be releasing this Chuck Taylor All-Star with a good cause in mind. The shoe features a full patent leather upper and toe cap with a white midsole and some subtle red touches to symbolize the (RED) angle. A red stripe is included on the midsole and the top eyelet rings on each side of the shoe are red as well. Another nice touch is the satin lining that will keep your feet feeling as good on the inside as they look on the outside. Look for these to drop some time next week at davidz. Via NiceKicks.

We saw two other new pairs earlier today in Bulls and Magic-like colours, but this pair would be suitable for anyone, anywhere! The Nike Hyperize updates the Hyperdunk’s groundbreaking design by opting for a zig-zag Flywire pattern on the side panels. This pair is done in a simple black and white colour scheme, so the main standout feature beyond those high-tech, translucent sidepanels is the looping backboard design on the tongue tag that resembles an ‘@’ symbol. These will be at home on your practice court when they drop at Nike Basketball retailers including Foot Locker in September 2009.

The fellas over at Alife headquarters are making moves in an effort to empty some space for their upcoming batch of fresh products. Starting today and continuing on through Sunday, Alife and A.R.C. will be holding one of their infamous Courtyard Clearance Sales to try to clear out some of last season’s merchandise. These great deals don’t come around that often, so you won’t want to miss this one. As usual, the sale will be cash only, so hit that ATM and head on over before the store gets picked clean.
Thursday, April 16th – 12PM-7PM
Friday, April 17th – 12PM-7PM
Saturday April 18th – 12PM- 7PM
Sunday April 19th – 12PM-6PM

Ultra-hip Japanese label, Comme des Garcons, has teamed up with sneaker brands before to collaborate on shoes, but their latest joint venture with Converse could easily be their best yet. Comme des Garcons has put their touch on the iconic Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star, giving it a fairly simple look with some choice style touches. There will be a low and high Chuck in both off-white and black colorways with a red heart with eyes gracing the outer half of each shoe. This addition gives the otherwise plain shoe a nice dose of flavor to help them stand apart from the pack. The low and high models are available in both colorways now at Bobos. Via HighSnobiety.

We saw the Bulls-coloured joints earlier today, so let’s take a closer look at another new colour of the Nike Hyperize that shows off some of the new design elements in great detail. On this pair featuring black, white and sapphire blue, we get a good look at how thin and light Nike’s Flywire technology really is. The white side panels reveal that the material is so strong and svelte that it’s basically translucent. This pair is another can’t miss, and sure to be at the top of plenty of back to school shopping lists when they release this August at Nike Basketball retailers like Foot Locker.
