Marc Jacobs has done some interesting work for Vans over the years and now he’s putting a little ink on his own kicks. These Marc Jacobs hightops remind one of Chucks with their inner ankle patch, but add a heel strap and eschew the toe cap. The result is a white leather hightop that features grade-school like drawings and a bunch of text we can’t quite make out. Set to drop with a $475 pricetag, it looks like you’ll need all of that refund money from today if you wanna get a pair. via Marcus Troy

With the simplicity of the Blazer design, Nike has a lot of options for spicing up the upper and have recently begun experimenting with decorative stitching. You may remember seeing the recent Black/Neo-Turquoise Ice Breaker edition, and now this latest Blazer Mid ND uses the same design, but with a different color scheme. The shoe keeps it pretty clean with a solid white leather upper and midsole with Neutral Grey sections on the toe and heel. The highlight of the shoe however are the purple accents which appear on the laces, heel logo and on the pointed stitching pattern that appears across the entire side of the upper. Check for these now at select Nike retailers. Via dunk.com.cn.

Maybe the combination to the Vans Vault is 1-1-1, cos these joints are as beautiful as simple gets. This new Sk8-Hi features a nice baby blue construction. In truth, it’s all the same colour leather, but the perforations on the side panels along with the laces give the visual appearance of a tonal makeup. Either way, they look dope atop Vans’ signature vulc sole and should be available at your local Vans Vault retailers now. via Complex

Puma already did a shoe inspired by The Goonies, so why not one in honour of Gremlins? Though they are similar only in their first letter and release date, Gremlins, like The Goonies, remains a cult classic. The Gremlins x Reebok Pump Omni Lite does a great job of recreating the aggressive animatronic mogwai Stripe. Featuring a furry collar and faux lizard-skin on the tonal green upper, these fully capture the transformation from mogwai to gremlin. Transform your feet into walking 80′s tributes (literally) when these drop later this year. via SnkrFrkr

The Nike Air Max 90 is easily one of the most beloved running models of all time, and even though we have seen so many new colorways dropped in recent years, it’s still exciting to see a hot new color scheme come along. After pushing the limits of Air Max 90 boldness, Nike has chosen a simpler, more classic-looking style for this model. This shoe features a white upper with mesh sections on the toe box and the ankle panel. Contrasting black and royal blue accents pop off of the white base and create a color scheme that looks like it could definitely have been released in 1990. This Air Max 90 has a clean look with some classic appeal and be copped right now on eBay. Via 95Soleman.

The Nike Blazer Mid continues to receive a seemingly endless supply of fresh new color schemes and here is one of the latest to hit stores. From a distance, this version keeps it pretty simple, but a closer look reveals that there is actually quite a bit going on here. This Blazer Mid features a black mesh upper with a smooth black leather toe box and eyelets. The Swoosh and upper heel panel are constructed with a metallic silver material and a white midsole with a black toe cap adds to the classic Blazer look, but its the Volt highlights that place the cherry on top. The vibrant Nike favorite graces the tongue label, laces and stitching, as well as the entire outsole. These may not have the high profile of some other Blazer releases, but this colorway is still looking pretty good and can be found now at Premier.

Apparently Orchard Street and Reebok put very little stock in Kid Cudi’s words. While the emerging hip-hop artist didn’t have much nice to say about these back at the NBA All-Star Weekend, we’re set to see some new pairs in their collaborative effort. The Orchard Street x Reebok Re-Up Collection has been expanded with three new pairs that seek to continue the original pack’s intent to hearken back to early 90′s streetball culture. The use of a deep seafoam green is critical for their concept, as it appears on two white shoes and one in black. The green is a contrast to those pairs, two of which also feature red. The ‘OS’ logo is prominently placed on the outer ankle, just beyond the point where the asymmentrical laces begin their ascent. Cudi would probably be more at home in a pair of Air Yeezys, but you can make a statement of your own with these kicks when they drop later this year. via FRESHNESS
