Have you stepped into your Heyday yet? If not, well tomorrow marks your chance to do so in style and with extreme prejudice! Innovative watch brand Nooka collaborates with Heyday on a very limited Super Deb High sneaker. The shoe is limited to 20 pairs and comes in two color-ways: black (pictured above) & white. The shoe features a patent leather upper, with Nooka’s “String Theory” triangle pattern as seen. A very unique futuristic shoe to say the least. Clearly, straps and super-height are all the rage with cutting edge designers. Building off the hype of Air Yeezys, Supra TK’s, and numerous other altitude topping kicks, these should bode well with sneakerheads. The black pair is set to release tomorrow, July 18th at SF2 Southwest in Houston, TX , while the white version is scheduled to release later this year.

We’ve already seen the charitable (PRODUCT) Red project join forces with Converse for Lupe Fiasco’s black leather Chuck Taylors and now the two brands will be teaming up again, this time bringing in renowned Cali skate shop, HUF to be their third collaborator. For the latest installment, it will be the Converse Skidgrip getting the (PRODUCT) Red treatment, sticking with the black/red/white color scheme. The HUF “H” covers the black canvas upper with an all-over print and an additional HUF logo tab is included on the side of the midsole. Release info for these is still unknown, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted. Via ASVP.

The New York Mets and their fans are presently in the midst of a frustrating injury-plagued season, but luckily, Pro-Keds is doing their part to boost morale with the release of a super-limited collaboration sneaker. The Pro-Keds 69er Uptowner is about as classic as it gets, once gracing the feet of many of the NBA’s all-time greats, and now the shoe will pay tribute to another group of legendary 69ers, the 1969 Miracle Mets. In a nod to better Mets days, Pro-Keds has partnered with the team to create a 69er Uptowner inspired by the Mets’ royal blue/orange color scheme.

The shoe features a black suede upper with royal and orange stripes lining the midsole and the edge of the toe cap. With the Mets’ colors already in place, the cherry on top comes by way of the “1969″ stitching that graces the heel strip. Fittingly, there will only be 69 pairs produced, with 48 being released to the public and the rest going to NY Mets friends and family. The 48 retail pairs will be split up between only three stores, so if you’re a fan of the team or the shoe, New Jersey’s PackerShoes has got you covered. Even if your Mets pride is not at its highest right now, don’t hesitate on these, because this extremely limited run will not be in stock for long.

Having seen the new Zoom LeBron Ambassador IIs and Zoom Speed Low basketball kicks for Spring ’10, let’s take a look at one more Nike baller for early next year.  The Nike Air Flight Scorer is pictured above in three new colourways.  The top two have ‘AIR’ inscribed on the rear midsole, while the other eschews this print, but features prominent sweeping on the stripe extending from midfoot to heel.  It remains to be seen if both of these models will release or if one will be issued in favor of the other, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via Kenlu

The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 has enjoyed a strong revival in 2009, including an amazing reimagination as a basketball shoe.  This latest pair incorporates one of the colours that remind us of its original release on a design that’s distinctly contemporary.  These feature a mix of black and brown leather laid atop breathable black mesh with purple accents.  Save the purple, the upper’s leather features the alphabet inscriptions we’ve seen on previous Swoosh runners.  These will be out within a couple of weeks or play it safe and pre-order a pair now on eBay.

The Nike Blazer is Beaverton’s answer to the Converse’s Chuck Taylor All Star in that it’s an old school basketball sneaker whose simple design has lent it to hundreds, if not thousands of releases over the years.  This latest Blazer High takes a page from Chuck himself, adding a rubber toe cap.  The Blazer’s cap, though, swoops back further on the inside, leaving this shoe with a nice asymmetrical flair.  This little touch adds alot to the white, grey and navy blue palette.  These may or may not release in the future, but you can grab them today from Osneaker.

We knew DJ Clark Kent’s Nike 112 Pack welcomed two new additions, but now it looks like another Nike model has adopted a similar color scheme.  Pictured above is the new Nike Big Nike Low in 112 styling.  They have a slick upper that changes from black to a light grey through three transitions from front to back, while neon green accents remind you what’s up here.  These should drop soon, so stick with Sneaker News for updates or place your pre-orders now on eBay.

The reason you think the new Nike Zoom Speed Low resembles the Zoom Kobe IV is because, well, it does.  Strip out the Flywire and accompanying indentations on the midsoles from the ZKIV’s side panels and anyone but the truest sneakerheads would have trouble telling them apart.  It looks like Nike will push this model as a lightweight shoe for guards come Spring 2010, and we have shots of six unique models after the jump.  Check out the photos and let us know if you think the design was worth revisiting like this.  via Kenlu

Fans of HBO’s Entourage will recognize these kicks immediately. In the episode where Turtle is desperately trying to track down a pair of Air Force 1′s designed by fictional artist, Fukijama, he recieves this 1 of 1 custom pair from the designer himself as a consolation prize when he is unable to get his hands on a pair. These kicks sport some crazy designs, patterns and materials pretty much everywhere you look, and on an interesting note, the Undefeated logo is on the tongue of the right shoe. Obviously, these will never be released, but at least you can finally get another up-close look at all the details of these kicks and their intricately decorated collector’s box after the jump.

Along with a ton of NBA fans, Nike was drooling over the possibility of a LeBron vs. Kobe NBA Finals matchup last season. The whole MVPuppet commercial campaign eventually went unfulfilled with only one half of Nike’s dynamic duo actually making it to the Finals. Even though the showdown never took place, the Kobe/LeBron debate is still going on between NBA fans everywhere. Next spring Nike will bring back the Air Force 25 Low in two colorways inspired by the Cavs and Lakers color schemes. While it’s unknown if this is an official pack, the inspiration behind them is pretty obvious. These will both be hitting Nike retailers next Spring, so if you’re feeling these kicks, let us know who’s colorway you’ll be rocking. Via Kenlu.

So what if Kobe Bryant didn’t win the 2009 NBA MVP award?!  He ended the season hoisting both the Larry O’Brien and Bill Russell trophies, having won both the NBA Championship and Finals MVP, respectively.  We all know that Kobe’s signature sneakers during the Finals were spectacularly scribbled upon, and now the black version he wore during the away games is ready for purchase.  The Nike Zoom Kobe IV Finals Edition ‘Away’ can now be called the ‘Finals MVP’ edition, now that Nike added those letters in metallic gold to the tongue.  Other than the MVP tongue and graffiti, these only differ from the Purple Haze edition by their swapping of yellow for metallic gold.  If you prefer these, they’re available now from Marquee Sole.
