With Jordan Brand recently unveiling its own chukka, Vans will need to step its game up if they wanna keep pace. This latest collaborative effort has a clean design that will put them ahead of the pack until JB’s efforts release. The Deluxe x Vans Chukka appears in a simple tri-colour blend. The forefoot and heel are deep blue suede to match the midsole-toe, while the rest of the upper is black leather. Vans’ signature white vulcanized rubber sole with a black foxing band provides a nice balance, while a leather lining lets you know these are premium. These are set to drop next Thursday, May 28, and you can grab them from retailers like Bridge.

Did you see LeBron’s amazing shot last night? Down by two with one second to go, King James launched a three point dagger straight through the heart of Craig Ehlo’s ghost, sending the Eastern Conference Finals to Orlando tied at one game a piece. ‘Bron was wearing his Playoff Pack-edition Soldier IIIs in that game and another new colourway just dropped. Featuring a clean mix of white and navy blue, the newest Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III is unlikely to see much time on-court, given the tendency for teams to stick with their most basic jerseys during the NBA Playoffs. If you wanna grab a pair and practice counting down on your local court, they’re available now from Vault.

From the looks of it, Nike has some big plans for the Air Structure Triax ’91. The classic running model has popped up here and there over the last year or so, and lately, we have repeatedly seen new colorways popping up in previews for the upcoming seasons. We showed you a sneak peek of this version last month and now it’s beginning to hit the shelves. The shoe features a Black leather upper with a White mesh underlay, but the real flavor comes by way of some Mint and Pure Purple accents, giving the shoe a very striking 90′s look. If you’ve patiently been following the updates on these, wait no longer. This Air Structure Triax ’91 is in stock as we speak at VaultHarlem and make sure to check out some additional pics after the jump.

You could argue that if it weren’t for Vans blazing the path for skate sneakers, Supra might very well not exist. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any higher than the TK Society, Vans took a page out of the book authored by the new kids on the hightop block. The Vans Vault Hi Fi LX quite literally takes the Sk8-Hi silhouette to new heights, adding four lace hooks to an already ankle-high design. There are two black pairs with horse hair uppers, one of which has white zebra stipes, plus another pair in gold satin. We expect these in August, so check back with Sneaker News for updates. via HS

As they are apt to do, ALIFE has released a few more of their summer footwear collection just a short while after dropping the motherload. Whether the timing of these signifies a celebration of their new website is anyone’s guess, but from looking at the photos, it’s easy to be happy while looking at them. Both of the new joints feature a single colour on the upper, along with white midsoles and laces. The Chaser running model has a mix of yellow suede, leather and two types of nylon, while the all red Shell Toe is all suede. Both of these and several of the other summer ’09 releases are available now at Caliroots.

Solebox is Germany’s finest sneaker boutique and earlier today, they released the trifecta collaboration on a fine fixed-gear cycling sneaker. The hypebeast x Solebox x adidas Zeitfrei package was dubbed ‘The Complete Ride’. Limited to 100 pairs each in the red Solebox version and the yellow hypebeast edition, they were accompanied by a single Bianchi bike in each colour (the bikes are set to be auctioned for charity). As you can see in the picture above and those after the jump, Hikmet and company had a grand time at their release party. Highlights include their hilarious costumes and the bike with a water bottle-holder modified to accomodate a fifth of Jagermeister. Take a look at the pictures and if you’re feelin the kicks, a few pairs are still available at the Solebox eStore.

Earlier today, we gave you a look at a new black/red Dub Zero colorway that is sure to please the Jordan-craving masses next month, but until then, there are two very slick versions dropping tomorrow. By now, you’ve probably already seen some peeks at these Dub Zero models. They both use the same color blocking with a black patent leather upper met by a black/white graphic illustrated mid panel with additional white highlights on the outsoles and heel tabs. One pair uses Laser Blue as its primary accent color, while the other uses Taxi Yellow in the same exact spots as the other pair. Both Jordan Dub Zero’s will be limited releases, so you might have to do a little research tomorrow before you find a store that has them.

The Air Max portion of the Nike LIVESTRONG collection proved to be a big hit last week, selling out almost everywhere in no time at all. While these are probably not part of the LIVESTRONG collection, they do feature colors that match up to the collection. The shoe sports a black synthetic/mesh upper with the LIVESTRONG like yellow accents, making it very believable that these were at one time supposed to be part of the collection. In addition to the areas of yellow, there are also some white and grey highlights thrown in to help complete the color scheme. If you like these, you can start bidding on this pair of size 9′s now on eBay.

Much to the delight of many Jordan-heads out there, the Dub Zero has slowly been making its way back into stores in some fresh new colorways. With the recent White/Cement version and now two new colors hitting stores this weekend, the Jordan faithful will really have some tough decisions to make when it comes to which Dub Zero’s to cop. This latest version flaunts a classic Chicago Bulls colorway, using an almost completely solid Black upper with some very minimal Varsity Red highlights and a few hints of White on the outsole and heel branding.
Aside from the sure-to-be-embraced black/red colorway, the other thing that makes this model stand out from other recent Dub Zero releases is the black on black graphics on the upper. Most Dub Zero’s have had more contrast on the intricate details of the upper’s illustrations, but this pair keeps it a little more subtle with the black tonal effect. These kicks are scheduled for a limited release on June 13th, but if you can’t wait a couple of weeks, go ahead and get a pair early on eBay. Via StepToRun.

For the designers at Nike right now, it’s not that foreign an idea to combine elements from two classic sneakers into one. It’s common to see a classic colorway show up on a different sneaker, like last year’s “Keep Rippin, Stop Slippin” Air Safari-inspired Air Max 1, but rarely have we ever seen two classic colorways combined on one shoe. Yesterday brought news of the upcoming Quickstrike return of the original red Air Max 1, and in the case of these kicks, it looks like they are borrowing the mudguard from those and adding it to these.
The top half of the shoe stays true to the original Air Safari blueprint, but the bottom half pays tribute to the OG red Air Max 1. The combination comes together nicely, making for a eye-catching shoe with twice the Retro appeal. Look for these to hit select Nike accounts sometime in July, but if you don’t want to take any chances, you can pre-order a pair now at End. Keep reading after the jump for some more looks at the Air Max 1 Premium Safari.
