We first started to get glimpses of the upcoming Kanye West x Louis Vuitton sneakers all the way back in January, and with the recent hysteria caused by the Air Yeezy’s, the intriguing collaboration has been kept pretty quiet. After giving the Air Yeezy its time to shine, now the Louis Vuitton collection is ready to claim the spotlight. The Yeezy is definitely an eye-catching sneaker, and although the LV kicks take more of a classy lifestyle approach than the athletic design of the Nike shoe, the shoes are anything but boring. Each model has a distinctly original look with a fashion-forward approach and a slick aesthetic. Via HS

Back in March, we gave you a look at the Air Force 1 Bespoke designed by Pete from Premium Laces and it looks like somebody liked it so much, they had to bootleg them. This pair recently popped up on eBay. They copied the design exactly, even down to the reflective 3M and the shoes are being passed off as the ones we showed you on Sneaker News. Unfortunately to this seller, we happen to know for a fact that they are indeed knock-offs. You can check out a comparison of the two after the jump and take this as a reminder to always beware of what you are bidding on.

We already previewed this striking Nike RT1 High colorway a few weeks ago, but now that their release is approaching, we have some new images for you to sink your teeth into. Like the Black/Azure pair, this second round of RT1′s gets a little bolder than the first batch. This pair sports a light grey upper with sections of dark grey on the Swoosh, around the toe and on the upper heel panel. The most noticeable attribute, however, has to be the bright yellow accents, laces and contrast stitching that really help to give the shoe an eye-catching look. If you are feeling the RT1 High, but have been waiting for some more daring colorways, these can already be scooped up on eBay. Photos: Shaolin8

Before you get too excited, no, these Kobe Bryant Air Force 1 PE’s will not be available for retail, but the good news is that you can finally get an up close and personal view. The kicks were actually made for Kobe sometime back, but now for the first time, you can actually check out some of the finer details. As you can see, two different colorways were whipped up for Kobe. One features a color scheme very similar to the LeBron Dunkman series, using bright green along with white and a reflective 3M grey. The other Kobe Air Force 1 sports a simple white, black and grey palette with dark grey Elephant print covering the heel panel and a set of striped laces to finish off the look. So there can be no confusion regarding who’s kicks these are, Kobe’s logo appears on the heel of both pairs. As stated previously, these never went into production but currently, both pairs are available on ebay now.

By now, you’ve probably seen a bunch of different versions of the Nike Air Hoop Structure model, but now we get our best look yet at some of the finer details of this intriguing hybrid design. The shoe features a smooth white leather upper with a full-grain navy leather underlay that is perforated only on the mid panels. Some sparing touches of red can be found on the tongue and heel branding, as well as surrounding the heel Air bubble on the inner half of each shoe. Now that we get to see these kicks from some new angles, it’s safe to say that they’re just as fresh as we expected them to be. If you’ve been waiting for a pair since they first started popping up, you can finally get them on eBay now. Photos: Shaolin8

The Nike Hyperdunk has recently been back in the spotlight thanks to the NFW editions and the McFly Hyperdunk Low. Now another version has emerged, this time taking its inspiration from the colors of the Philippino flag. The kicks sport a blue patent upper with red Flywire and additional red and yellow accents on the midsole and outsole, as well as the laces and tongue label. A white Swoosh finishes off the design, helping to tie the color scheme together. Much to the delight of some Pinoy sneakerheads out there, these kicks will be hitting select retailers like Warped soon, most likely in fairly limited numbers. Stay tuned for more and be sure to check out some more images after the jump.

It looks like speckles will be an ongoing theme in Nike’s upcoming East vs. West collection. We’ve already shown you another Dunk Low East and two Dunk High East models that make use of some combination of Black, White and Volt Yellow highlights and speckles. This latest pair is similar to the other Dunk Low model, but this time, there’s a combination of White and Black on the upper. The shoe features White speckles on the Black sections and also sports Volt laces and heel branding. They also have the same hat and stopwatch character on the insole that has appeared on some other Dunk East models. These kicks won’t be hitting stores until December, but you can check out a bunch more images after the jump in the meantime. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

Not too long ago, we gave you a sneak peek at the long overdue return of the Nike Dynasty High, a classic Nike basketball model that originally debuted in its current form back in 1986. While there are certain similarities to some other Nike b-ball kicks from that era, the Dynasty High definitely has its own look. This version features a very traditional-looking white upper with navy accents on the Swoosh, laces, outsole and tongue and some touches of red on the heel tab, ankle strap and lining. The shoe sports a classic look and a high cut, both of which should help it make a splash as they begin to hit stores. These are expected to drop soon, but you can already find some pairs floating around eBay. Photos: 95Soleman.

Vans has once again invited Crooks & Castles to put their spin on a shoe, and after the success of their Gucci-inspired Fourty-Four Hi model, expectations were high. It’s doubtful that anybody involved was disappointed to see the results of the collaboration. The Moda Hi blends elements of the Sk8-Hi and Mountain Edition High to create a new model with its ow identity. The shoe features a black on black upper constructed from a variety of materials. Some sections of the upper sport a textured stripe pattern while others use a simple black leather and the ankle is wrapped by a large area of rich leather with quilted stitching. A clean white midsole and top eyelet ring provide the only contrast to the solid black foundation. These are slated for a March 2010 release, so be sure to stay tuned for new info and pics along the way. You can get a look at the previous Crooks & Castles x Vans kicks after the jump.

Here’s a look at another interesting twist on the Nike Blazer. This Blazer Mid 73 All Court Premium edition boasts some interesting touches not usually seen on the model. Aside from using premium materials like the reptile-looking Black upper, these kicks also sport a mesh tongue, metal eyelet rings and most noticeably, a thick Black rubber toecap. The shoe also features Tour Yellow accents on the midsole stripe, tongue label and speckled laces. The look of this Blazer is then finished off by a Black suede Swoosh, Grey midsole and banana graphics on the ankle section of both heels. There is nothing official on a release at the moment, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted. Via FlightClub.Tistory.
