People were not overly receptive to the first spring 2010 Nike SB preview. Then last week, we got a slightly better reaction from the second sneak peek at a couple more models from the Nike SB spring 2010 collection. Now we have a better look at a few of those, plus a few more upcoming styles. By now, you may have already seen the two Dunk SB models, and although they may not use the most daring color schemes, both appear to be a step in the right direction for the Dunk line. The Noble Green Blazer SB was a part of our spring 2010 Blazer preview and is joined by another tonal high-top, the Zoom Classic High SB, which comes dipped in a subtle Deep Burgundy. Two other low models are also included in the upcoming collection, a Green Leaf and White Bruin SB and the eagerly awaited P-Rod 2.5 in a simple Black on Black colorway. You can get a closer look at all of these and more after the jump and we’ll keep you posted on more as their release approaches. Thanks to Ice-Sole for the photos.

We’ve been steadily keeping you posted on Nike’s upcoming East vs. West collection, in which some lucky sneakerhead VIP’s have been given the opportunity to rep their coast by designing their own Dunks. By now, you’ve probably seen our previews of the Gucci-inspired ostrich leather Dunk High Supreme Spark East designed by DJ Clark Kent and the crazy blue scales of the Dunk High Supreme Spark West by Eddie Cruz. Just to clear up any confusion, reports that Clark Kent helped to design the Dunk West shoe are false. According to Clark himself, he only designed the East version and Eddie Cruz designed the West, with no collaboration between the two taking place. Both Dunks have recently gotten some serious attention and we have decided to help kick off this East vs. West grudge match by asking you who came up with the hotter design. Try to put aside your regional pride and give us some honest feedback on which one you’re feeling more. You can see a bunch of detailed images of both after the jump to help you make your decision.

To sneakerheads who are into Nike basketball kicks, the “Eggplant” Air Foamposite is one of the brand’s most beloved styles of all time. We have already seen the same colorway applied to the Foamposite Boot, and now it has made its way onto the Hyperdunk. After being slightly overshadowed lately by the Hyperize and Hypermax, the shoe that paved their way has been recently popping up in some new colorways. This version features an almost iridescent Metallic Purple and Black upper with a Silver and Purple midsole. Not much is known about when these will drop or how limited they will be, but as usual, MarqueeSole has them early, so you might want to jump on these now just in case. Either way, you can check out some more images of the Eggplant Hyperdunk after the jump.

Many Nike SB fans have expressed their preference of the P-Rod II to Paul Rodriguez’ latest signature sneaker. It looks like their wishes have been granted. Sort of. The Nike SB P-Rod 2.5 combines the P-Rod II’s well loved upper with a vulcanized rubber sole. The pair pictured above has a tonal black upper, white midsole plus black foxing band, and just a tiny bit of red. No word yet on a release date, but we expect them for Spring 2010, so keep it locked to Sneaker News for updates. via N-SB.org

Just a few days ago Darin Hager of Heyday Footwear released a few preview images of his Summer 09′ lineup while on Twitter. Of course SneakerNews was on the scene to tweet with Mr. Hager about his latest designs and immediately got the drop on what we can expect from him this summer. What you see above is called the Super Shift and it is a new sillouette from HeyDay that is releasing on July 1st. As easy as it is to get lost in the multitude of releases that spring up from traditional brands, any sneakerhead can take one look at the Super Shift from Heyday Footwear and understand that Heyday is an important new-comer to the game. The Super Shift will retail at a modest $165 and can be found via a list of retailers on Heyday Footwear’s site.
The Super Shift uses supple, tumbled leather with Heyday’s signature triple stitching and raw leather edges that take on character the more it is worn. Rubber cup soles with Heyday bottom logos, flex grooves in the forefoot and 360 degree stitching make for a completely secure mechanical bond from upper to sole. Includes 2 sets of laces; 1 flat lace and a waxed cotton round lace. Full leather lining and a memory foam footbed make this the most comfortable kicks you will ever wear.

Once again, Alife and A.R.C. are saying out with old and in with the new. To clear out some of their stockrooms, they will be holding another clearance sale this weekend. The sale will run from Thursday through Sunday and will be held at 147 Essex Street, between Rivington and Stanton. Clearance sale hours will be from 12 noon until 7 each day, and as usual, it will be a cash only affair. If you’re in the NYC area this week, you might want to take the opportunity to stop by and get fresh for less.

This summer’s ongoing Air Force 1 theme has definitely been simple White uppers and midsoles joined by only one accent color. We have shown you a number of Air Force 1′s that fall into this category and now another version has just dropped. This time around the iconic Air Force 1 adds Khaki accents to the White base, providing some subtle contrast on the Swoosh, laces and lining, as well as on the heel panels and the branding on the tongue label. Finishing off these kicks is a classic Gum midsole, always a fan favorite and a sure-fire way to give a shoe a classic edge. If you like what you see here, you can pick up a pair of these right now at VaultHarlem.

At this point, collaborations between Alife and Barneys are nothing new. We have already seen Alife team up with the renowned retailer for special editions of the Everybody Mid and High, as well as the Chaser, Kennedy and Court Cup. The latest batch of exclusives once again feature the Everybody High, this time in three colors, each with “scratched” leather uppers and the Barneys man logo hanging out on the heel. There will be a grey, a mustard and a burgundy version in the collection, all with light blue midsoles and laces and a second set of tonal laces included. If this looks like something you’d be interested in, be aware that the kicks are dropping today at all Barneys locations. Via Complex.

Longtime Vans collaborator Taka Hayashi is about to drop a collection of new models with distinct Native American inspiration. The Taka Hayashi x Vans No Quarter also incorporates military styling and 1960s Italian shoe design for a look that sets it apart from the other super-hightops of late. These feature a familiar eyelet panel that resembles the Sk8-Hi, and they ride vulcanized rubber soles with identically coloured foxing bands. There’s one each in tonal black or brown, green and orange. Expect these soon, as Vans will start rolling out their Fall 2009 collection in advance of the back to school season. via Freshngood

Last week, we gave you a look at another Air Jordan 1 Phat Low that flaunts some Curry-colored Elephant print on the upper and now this version has come along to take that concept even further. Say what you will about the never-ending stream of Air Jordan 1 releases, but these kicks definitely have something going for them. Some people think that, like the Air Jordan 1, the Elephant skin print might be a bit overused, but there’s something about the pattern covering the whole upper that actually looks kinda fresh. There is no word yet on a release date for these, but we’ll keep you posted. You can see some pics of the White/Curry version after the jump. Via HK-Kicks.
