We have already shown you some sneak peeks at this upcoming Nike Terminator High Premium pack and although it may be awhile before they hit stores, here are some new images to tide you over. As we already told you, this pack consists of a selvage denim Terminator High and a luxurious mustard colored edition. The selvage denim pair features dark blue denim materials with copper rivets and a Levi-inspired Nike logo tab. The mustard Terminator sports a rich yellow upper with creme accents and some decorative perforations that look like something that would be found on a dress shoe. These new images give us our first good look at the tongues, and as you can see, both shoes feature a different tongue label. The selvage denim Terminator sports a brown leather tag, similar to the label that you’d find on the back of a pair of jeans. The tongue of the mustard pair has a circular Nike logo that reads, “Nike Sportswear Premium Essentials.” Both pairs are expected to arrive at select Nike Sportswear retailers this fall. Stay tuned for the specific release details and be sure to check out some close-ups after the jump. Via HighSnobiety.

If you were one of the disappointed many who didn’t get their hands on a pair of the Nike Air Yeezy’s last week, the good news is that they hit Nikestore today. The bad news is that unless you were up at the crack of dawn with your finger on the refresh button, you probably missed them again. As expected, Kanye West’s eagerly anticipated Nike sneaker sold out in no time at all, sending the demand for these kicks even further through the roof. If you weren’t able to get a pair for the retail price by now, your options are getting pretty dismal, but if you are willing to spend a little extra, the Air Yeezy’s will no doubt be available at a significant mark-up on eBay. Additional colorways are expected in the near future, but if you’ve just gotta have these, we wish you happy hunting. Via Nikestore.

Were you lucky enough to get one of the very few pairs on nikestore.com?

Rappers working in collaboration with sneaker companiaes has grown from the original G-Unit x Reebok joints back in 2004 to the unstoppable phenomena that is the Nike Air Yeezy.  Kanye wore his signature kicks on tour for about a year prior to their release to build the hype and it turns out the same is true of Mos Def.

An extension of his work with Undercrown, Mos’ signature midtop adidas is clearly influenced by the album art from Dead Prez’ 2004 album, RBG:Revolutionary but Gangsta.  It features the signature red, black and green paisley ‘bandana’ design on the midsole, along with a ton of other textures on the side panels, tongue and lining.  SneakerFreaker recently got up with Undercrown director Dustin Canalin, who designed Mos Def’s line for UNDRCRWN as well as the adidas kicks.  You can read the interview there and then cop the Mos Def by Dustin Canalin collection from Undercrown and KarmaLoop.

Earlier today, you saw the lowtop addition to this pack, and now here are the mids.  The Usugrow x Vans Half Cab Pro is another black beauty featuring a tattoo-like imprint on the white vulcanized rubber sole.  Instead of embroidered textures on the side panels, these have a white skull-and-swords design stitched into the heel.  These have a different script on the insole than the Sk8-Lows, but repeat the pattern on the transparent outsole as with the lowtops.  These are also available now from Caliroots.

Jordan Brand has made a ton of hybrids in addition to releasing a bunch of brightly coloured retros lately.  Here’s a departure from that trend: an entirely new design.  The Jordan Pro Classic is vaguely similar to the Air Jordan XII with its sweeping side panel stitching, but even that’s a stretch.  Two new colours are set to drop on June 1, one in white with black contrasts and another in the classic black and red with cement grey elephant print.  Stick with Sneaker News for more pictures as the release approaches.

We showed you tattoo-inspired Japanese artist Usugrow’s collaboration with Vans back in February and they’ve finally dropped.  The first of three pairs we’ll show you today is the Usugrow x Vans AV Sk8-Low.  These joints are all black like the other pairs and feature embroidered textures on the side panels and pressed into the midsole  There’s a nifty little flower on the tongue tag and a translucent sole revealing a script that matches the insole rounds out the custom touches.  Throw all that in a special edition box that depicts a sultry skeleton and you can grab em now from Caliroots.

By now, you have probably already seen a couple of our previews of the Nike Air Max 90 Current Flywire. Most recently, we showed you the pairs from the Grid Pack and the Triple Black and solid Varsity Red versions from Nike’s summer collection. Most of the previewed versions have been monochromatic color schemes and now it’s time to turn our attention to a colorway that sports a little more contrast. This version features a black mesh upper with Varsity Royal Flywire and accents. If you remember, these kicks were part of the original launch of the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer store, but have never been available as a general release. Additional highlights are supplied by a white Swoosh, lining and Nike Free midsole. This lightweight update of the classic Air Max 90 comes with an extra set of Varsity Royal laces and be scooped up right now on eBay. Via ID4SHOES.

Visvim is well known for putting twists on classic designs and this new collection is true to form.  Exclusive to the Parisian boutique, the Visvim at Colette collection is colourful and subdued all at once.  Three pairs of Sk8-Hi-like hightops are quite bright in scored leather atop vulc soles, while the capped-toe Keifer comes at us in black, white or brown.  Throw in a few dope plaids and some other button-downs, a couple of coats, two pairs of trousers and a trio of jeans, and this is all you’ll need to look fresh this summer.  The one catch is, these joints are available only at Colette’s b&m, and not online.  If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and get a hands-on feel for these quality wares.  via Freshness

We just saw some new editions of the Converse Skateboarding CTS model, so let’s take a look at what we can expect from One Star’s skate division this fall.  Pictured above is the likely star of the collection.  A midtop CTS, this version features the iconic inner ankle patch found on the original Chuck Taylor All Star.  This pair is joined by the Pro Leather lowtop and a new model that appears to be the midtop version of the Pro.  The low is built of tonal blue with a white sole and heel, while the mid is red suede with touches of black.  While the mid has a similar vamp, albeit stretched a few eyelets higher, it eschews the classic Chuck sole for a cup sole like the ones we’ve seen on a few Vans lately.  Stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and more drops from Cons.  via CtotheJL

A few weeks back, we brought you the good news that the Nike Air Stab would be the latest style to become available on Nike iD and it seems that with each new Nike iD release, the customizable options become more and more limitless. You may have already had some time to play around on the Nike iD site, but now the Air Stab has just hit the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer iD Studio and as expected, there will be some new design options available when you create your kicks in the store, such as denim, mesh, distressed leather, patent and lace. Additional new colors, patterns, materials and graphics will be available when you make an appointment to get busy on your own pair. If you’d like to make an appointment you can call 212-226-5433 and start daydreaming about the possibilities. Until then, check out some sample designs after the jump and begin soaking up some inspiration. Via NikeSportswear.

The Puma First Round is back in two nice new colorways for the ladies. The classic high-top sneaker has been remixed once again in two very different new styles. The first version is a model from Puma’s Flip Metal Pack. It features a metallic gold upper with white patent leather accents and gold speckled white laces. The shoe also uses a solid white midsole to balance the boldness of the shiny gold material. The other new women’s First Round is a little more understated, but still packs a style punch of its own. It sports a solid white leather base with purple patent accents and silver logo prints on the tongue and the side of the upper. Both the Flip Metal Gold and White/Lilac Puma First Round are available now at Overkill.

Like the Black/Varsity Royal pair that we showed you earlier, this Black/Varsity Red colorway was one of the styles given to select Olympic athletes last summer and was also part of a very limited release that helped to kick off the opening of the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer store last August. We showed you a preview of this Air Max 90 Current Flywire back in February and now we have some new images for you to check out. These lightweight performance kicks sport a solid black mesh upper with Varsity Red Flywire adding some color to the palette. Like the Black/Varsity Royal pair, the shoe features a white Swoosh and lining, as well as a white Nike Free midsole for maximum maneuverability. The Air Max 90 Current Flywire also comes with both red and white laces, and although they are expected to hit select Nike Sportswear retailers this summer, you can cop a pair right now on eBay.
