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.

Earlier today, we showed you a new Air Pegasus model that throws some new touches and colors onto the classic model to give it a more contemporary look, and now it appears that the Air Structure Triax ’91 is following suit. While we have seen this shoe in similar colorways before, the jumbled block letter graphics that we saw on the Pegasus are used even more heavily on these. The shoe sports a White foundation with sections of Black and Dark Cinder and a healthy dose of Aquamarine accents with the graphic print covering various areas of the upper. These are already available for purchase on eBay and will no doubt make a nice summer addition to any collection. Photos: 95Soleman.

There once was a time when clashing was considered taboo, but in this day and age, it’s becoming an artform. Nike has recognized this trend and responds with the Clash Pack, a new collection that features an interesting mix of colors applied to the Blazer High, Aero Flight High and Court Force High. All three feature some combination of Glass Blue and Voltage Yellow with additional Red and White accents thrown in to further spice things up. A pattern that resembles the veins of leaves can be found on the Blazer and Court Force. The Court Force High, along with the Aero Flight, also sports some Metallic Silver polka-dots on various sections. Despite the color similarities, the three models each have a look all their own and will all make for some pretty bold looks when they start dropping in early July. Via SoleCollector.

The Air Pegasus ’89 has recently made a nice comeback after returning in a bunch of original colorways, but as much as people love the OG styles, it’s about time that Nike introduced some new color schemes as well. This Air Pegasus ’89 ND definitely answers the call, giving the classic shoe its boldest look yet. These kicks feature a variety of colors and materials on the upper, using a traditional suede and mesh combo, but introducing some wild color and patterns to the design. The shoe sports a Black base with Glass Blue and Volt highlights and a contrasting White Swoosh. Perhaps the most notable touch is the letter jumble graphic pattern that appears on several sections of the upper.

Nike’s Blazer Mid has become one of the brands staple models as of late and this one is very interesting as we are being told this is a “Spike Lee” Blazer. Whether or not the Director collaborated with the brand or not has yet to be determined however the shoe’s tongue does feature a pair of Mars Blackmon glasses. The upper uses a White perforated leather while the outsole comes in Dark Navy/Black, the shoe’s Swoosh comes in Red, and there is a bit of Green accented on the shoe’s lining. The colorway is similar to that of the Sal’s Pizzeria logo featured in Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed Do The Right Thing movie. via Osneaker.com

This latest women’s Dunk High Challenge is proof that sometimes less really is more. The kicks take a very simple approach that lets the classic Dunk silhouette take center stage rather than getting overlooked by a busy color scheme. The shoe features a solid red cotton twill upper with white accents on the Swoosh and midsole as well as on the tongue and laces. The cherry on top comes by way of the gum outsole which is always a favorite, especially when added to such a classic looking design. These will be available for the ladies in the near future, so stay tuned for the latest info and be sure to keep reading after the jump for some more pics. Via Nitro:licious.

Dwyane Wade wore the Converse Wade 3 during the 2007-08 season.  The shoe featured a sharp, angular design punctuated by a series of triangles stacked on the heel.  While there were plenty of colourways released for the season, these two pairs were not among that run.  NikeTalk member dandill23 apparently found these colourways at his local Converse outlet and no one, including the owner, can account for them.  It seems unlikely that they were samples, considering their appearance in US mens size 13, but the red/black and tonal brown pairs you’ll see after the jump are a mystery to us.  Take a look at the photos and let us know if you’ve seen these at your local Cons outlet or anywhere else.

Update: From Converse – Both of those shoes were limited edition shoes that were produced for the House of Hoops store in Harlem. The brown color way is inspired by the Black Five and the Rens. We used very rich leathers that gave the shoe a nostalgic finish. The black /red color way was a modern twist on the Heats team colors. We looked at using some modern materials. Both colors were limited to 24 pairs produced each. (Thanks Dan)
