New Balance MT580   Navy/Grey
Way back before sneaker culture really exploded and every shoe came out in 30 different colorways, brands had certain “go-to” color schemes that they relied on time and time again. For New Balance, the navy/grey combination has graced many of their classic models and now it’s back and looking good on the MT580. The shoe features a navy leather upper with sections of grey mesh and reflective 3M materials. The MT580 also flaunts an “NB” logo embroidered on the side of the toe and an intricate midsole equipped with New Balance’s Rollbar technology. These have already hit select New Balance accounts, so don’t wait too long. Via NiceKicks.

Nike Cortez Nylon   Summer 2009

Nike has released an array of their new Cortez, the Cortez Flymotion, but sometimes Nike fans just lust for their classic shoes much like this Nike Classic Cortez Nylon. These two pairs of Classic Cortez Nylon’s are a part of the Nike Sportswear Summer 2009 Collection and have been released at select Nike Sportswear retailers already and are expected to hit more in the upcoming weeks. The shoes use the Nike Classic Cortez Nylon VNTG’s silhouette but feature no VNTG treatment on them, which some should like. via STREEThing

Vans Vault Supercorsa   Green + Black

The Vans Vault has opened up once again, this time to reveal the bicycle racing-inspired, Supercorsa. Better known for their skateboarding roots, Vans goes a different route with this one, using some new concepts to create a fashionable style with a classy look. Both a green and black colorway feature solid premium leather uppers that are covered with decorative perforations. The green version sports a white midsole with a matching green stripe, while the other model uses a black on black color scheme throughout. Both colorways feature the nice touch of an Italian flag Vans logo tab on the side of the uppers. If you like what you see, you can pick up a pair now at Flauge.

Nike x 10AC   Free Everyday II + AP

Nike and Caol Uno’s 10AC hook up again for the second time this year, the first time was on the Nike x 10AC Rejuven8, this time they worked together on a running shoe, the Nike Free Everyday 2 +. This Nike Free Everyday is the 2nd version of the Free Everyday and features Nike + technology. The AP in the shoe’s name means that the shoes are limited to Asia Pacific, and in this case maybe Japan only. The shoe uses a combination of colors including Cool Grey, White, and Aqua, which is also the popped color on the Rejuven8. The best part about this shoe might be the 5-Star graphic on the medial side of the shoe. via Mita Sneakers

Alife Everybody Mid Parachute Nylon Grid Pack   Red + White

One of Alife’s flagship models has been popping up in some fresh new variations lately. We’ve recently showcased the gum sole Everybody High and the Rogue Status collaboration on the Everybody Mid and it looks like Alife just can’t stop coming up with creative new ways to spice things up further. The simple design of the Everybody Mid lends itself to a lot of possibilities and the latest is a large grid pattern that appears on two new colorways of the shoe. Both red and white versions feature parachute nylon uppers with a yellow tongue label and a white midsole with a black toe cap. The aforementioned grid pattern appears in white on the red shoe and in black on the white model. Three matching sets of laces are included with both colorways, allowing for some versatile applications. You can get both pairs right now at Flauge.

Nike Air Max 90 Premium LE   White   Mean Green   Team Royal

A theme that we are starting to see for shoes from the Nike Sportswear Summer 2009 Collection is, Huarache, one of the early innovations from Nike that was used on various Basketball and Cross Training shoes. This new Air Max 90 Premium LE is inspired by one of the early Nike Huarache shoes and comes in White, Mean Green, and Varsity Royal similar to this Air Force 1 Premium that was just released. The shoe uses a combination of premium leather, patent leather, and the Huarache neoprene-esque material. Expect these to hit Nike Sportswear retailers alongside another Air Max 90 Premium Huarache inspired colorway at the end of this month. via Jordan8420

Mainland x Vans Chukka Low   Cyan Tearaway

The last tearaway sneaker collaboration we saw was truly one for the ages, but this one manages to hold its own in a much brighter palette.  Mainland got up with Vans to put a warm California touch on the Chukka Low model.  These joints are black on the toe, tongue, lining and heel, but that’s just a frame for the standout feature.  When you pop em out of the box, the side panels feature a cyan side panel that’s been quilted with red stitches.  If you skate in these or just wanna make em your own, you can rip this fabric off to reveal the same purple hue found on the shoe’s piping.  A cool concept, these joints are limited to 350 pairs and only available at Mainland’s stores or their website.  via CtotheJL

Nike Air Max 1 Premium QK   Brazil

A day after we broke the news of this new Nike Air Max 1 Premium Quickstrike, Mita Sneakers in Japan got their shipment in. These new images of this AM1 Premium showcase it’s colorful upper and various other details on this shoe, such as the graphic on the midsole that wraps underneath the shoe’s translucent outsole. Additionally the graphic on the shoe’s upper around the shoe’s ankle collar is a nice touch. Pick these up now at Mita or visit your local Nike Sportswear retailer in a couple weeks. via Mita Sneakers

UPDATE: We just got word from our friends over at SneakersBR that this shoe is actually a shoe that Nike worked on with them and will be used to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of SneakersBR. The shoes are inspired by the culture of Pernambuco, the home state of SneakersBR, and the Manguebeat, a musical movement from Pernambuco.

Nike Zoom Kobe IV   Black   Varsity Red   Available

Our first glimpse of this colourway of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV was in the form of an image that combined it with the primary style of the Zoom LeBron Soldier III.  While LeBron’s playoff kicks match his team’s uniforms, Kobe’s signature sneakers have been released in a Chicago-style palette during the NBA offseason since the Zoom Kobe line started.  These feature a black upper including patent leather on the toe with a white Swoosh and midsole, along with red accents strewn throughout.  We expected a wide release for these sometime after the NBA regular season ends, but already found em available now on ebay.

Nike Skateboarding (SB) Fall 2009 Preview

We’ve seen a bunch of bright new kicks for late spring/summer lately, but how about some early action on a few fall releases?  Nike Skateboarding (SB) looks to keep rolling as the leaves turn colour with three new releases pictured here.  Most notably is the new Paul Rodriguez signature model, the Nike SB P-Rod III.  Having finished off the P-Rod II in ‘Supreme’ fashion with the classic cement grey elephant print, the new P-Rod capitalizes on another iconic Beaverton pattern.  These joints feature the iconic Safari print, except the smaller dots have been quite literally blacked out.  The other two pairs are also somewhat darkly coloured, as we see a black pair of Stefan Janoskis and a Dunk Mid in a palette that would make Pittsburg proud.  Be sure to stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and the many other releases from Nike’s skate division.  via CtotheJL
