Vans likes to collaborate with Japanese streetwear brands, usually to great effect. It’s rare to see them focus on just the ladies but that changes with this new pack. The X-Girl x Vans collection includes a Sk8-Hi and an Era that feature a multicoloured star pattern X-Girl had previously used in collboration with Eastpak. The Sk8s have pink or white laces, while the Eras come with whites or turquoise laces to contrast the pink eyelets. Stick with Sneaker News for updates on this pack’s upcoming release. via HS

No disrespect to Converse, but for sneakerheads who love the NBA, it’s always disappointing when an elite player wears some kicks that don’t mesh with the premier level of their game. Without calling out any names, there have been a bunch of great players who haven’t had great sneaker games, but Wade is a man with style, and it’s only fitting that he finally joins the Jordan team. The news has just been announced that D-Wade signed with Jordan Brand and sneakerheads are already speculating on what a Wade Jordan shoe will look like. With Kobe and LeBron already dominating the Nike Basketball scene, Jordan Brand seems like a good fit for Dwyane, who will definitely be given his chance to shine there.
Upon signing, Dwyane had this to say, “For me, the move to Jordan Brand is a dream come true. As a kid, I grew up on the south side of Chicago idolizing Michael Jordan and have worked hard to achieve the same success that he’s had on the court. I have enormous respect for this brand and all that it stands for. I’m humbled to be a part of the Team Jordan family and I’m looking forward to a great future.”
When asked about landing Wade, Michael Jordan replied, “I’m thrilled to have Dwyane Wade join the Team Jordan family. In his short time in the league, Dwyane has transformed himself into one of the game’s best and is the embodiment of leadership both on and off the court, a signature trait of our athletes. As the Jordan franchise approaches its silver anniversary, Dwyane will become a pinnacle member of the Jordan roster poised to help lead the Brand for years to come.”
Obviously, with the news just breaking, it will probably be a while before we see a signature model, but you know that Sneaker News will keep you in the loop with the latest on the Dwyane Wade/Jordan union. Via SC. Additional photos via dwyane-wade.us

Sticking with the white on white Air Jordan theme from our last post, here’s another Air Jordan that goes with the all white look, although they are definitely not a part of that possible upcoming white collection. We’ve already given you a couple previews of the Rising Sun Air Jordan XII, and although they won’t officially be released until October, RMK Store has some in stock already. As you might imagine, they are going fast, so if you want to get your hands on a pair a few months earlier for a fairly reasonable mark-up, you’d better act fast. You can keep reading after the jump for a detailed look at these eagerly awaited gems.
Color: White/Black-Varsity Red

During Chris Paul’s recent visit to Jordan Brand headquarters, he snapped a shot of this super-crisp collection of white on white Air Jordan Retro models. In these images, you will see ultra-clean all white versions of the Air Jordan IX-XIV, begging the question whether these are just samples or something that’s in the works for the future. The rumor is that these may be part of a 25th anniversary collection and could possibly drop some time next year. There is no confirmation on that, and these could very well just be samples, but it’s intriguing to think about all the legendary Air Jordan models in this fresh white on white theme. You can get a closer look at these after the jump and let us know which Air Jordans you’d most like to see in this colorway. Via Chris Paul’s Twitter.

With a ton of new Nike Basketball models on the way, these are the models with just a couple of colours each (so far). They’re certainly not insignificant, as these are headlined by the Nike Zoom Kobe Make Sense in a Lakers colourway. The Zoom Uptempo V is back in a colourway that would have certainly been worn by Jason Kidd during his Phoenix Suns days. Next are the two newest ‘Posites’, Nike’s new Skyposite in a nice orange-to-blue gradient and one in Chicago colours. Last but not least is the unveiling of the Nike Zoom BB III. Expect all of these next spring. via Kenlu

Last month we showed you the Zen Grey Air Yeezy birthday cake from Yeezy’s birthday party. Well, through the magic of Twitter, we were lucky enough to get a peek at a very lucky sneakerhead’s culinary kickz confection over in Singapore. He is an Air Force Officer who just turned 25 and tried desparately to land a pair of Yeezys with no luck. However, this young man is blessed enough to have a girlfriend who is both talented and considerate enough to bring his desires to life in the form of the beautiful art you see above. To be able to bask in the beauty of the Air Yeezy AND eat it up is truly the best of both worlds. So although this young man didn’t get the shoe, he could walk in and break necks, he surely got the gift he will remember forever from a girl who will break hearts!

There’s a nice black and shadow grey Air Jordan 1 Retro High on the way, so let’s up the ante just a bit. The pair pictured above adds some flair by utilizing a crumbled metallic silver on the rear quarter/heel, Swoosh and toe. The rest of the shoe is a cool grey, save the white midsole that perfectly balances this tonal palette. It looks like these are set for 2010, but no word yet as to which part of next year, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via TSG

With all the Trainer models that have dropped recently, the comeback wouldn’t be complete without another go-around for the “Medicine Ball” edition of the Air Trainer III. In addition to the whole “Bo Knows” Trainer relevance, these kicks also share a connection with another recent Nike theme. There has recently been an Air Jordan I Pack and an Air Jordan Force Fusion IV that gave some nods to Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing, and with the infamous Air Jordan IV vs. the Larry Bird fan scene from the movie, it gets overshadowed that Spike’s Mookie character actually rocks these Air Trainer III’s in a bunch of scenes in the film. There is no indicated connection, but it’s just one more reason that this colorway is a classic. We gave you a preview of the Medicine Ball Air Trainer III a few weeks back, and now the release is almost upon us. You can check out some closeups after the jump and if you can’t wait for these to hit stores, pre-order a pair now from eBay.

Nike first dubbed their Flight ’89 redux the Air Flight Condor, later changing the model to a hightop but keeping its late 80s/early 90s aesthetic. The latest Nike Air Flight Condor High comes in a mix of black, white and grey with electric blue and yellow accents that remind us of times gone by. There’s a nice polygonal pattern on the middle eylets and toe that really make these pop. They’ll be ready soon and we’ll update you with specifics, or you can already reserve yourself a pair now on eBay.
