If you know the first thing about Hello Kitty, you’d expect their collaboration with Asics to be visually insane.  Enter the Hello Kitty x Asics WMNS Gel-Lyte Speed.  Sanrio’s most famous character appears all over the underlay that serves as the base for a bright pink and blue overlay.  Expect these at Sanrio Flagship Stores in New York City, San Francisco, and Hawaii on November 1st, 2009.  via FRESHNESS

The team over at Nike SB continues to put out heat when it comes to the Nike SB Blazer, yesterday we showed you something that never made it to retail, the Nike SB Blazer High Un-Supreme Omar Salazar sample, and today we have this Yellow and Royal Blazer from Nike SB that is also a sample. Unlike the Omar Salazar pair, this colorway should be making it to select Nike SB retailers in the upcoming months. The colorway has a collegiate and athletic feel to it with the upper using a contrast colorway of Yellow and Royal whereas the midsole/outsole is kept clean using White. Look for these to drop in the next few months or you can pick them up now at Osneaker.com

By now, you have probably already seen the Black/Purple and White/Del Sol colorways of Kobe’s secondary model, the Nike Dream Season X, and if you go all the way back to April, we gave you a sneak peek at two more upcoming versions. Now we get a look at a fifth colorway. This version is a sales sample, so it’s unclear at this point whether or not these will be released for retail. The shoe sports a white upper with black accents and just a few hints of red. To add a few stylish touches, there are perforations on the white upper and there is a textured line pattern on the black toe section of the upper and midsole. This Dream Season has a bolder look than the previous colorways, so let’s hope that they decide to release these. We’ll be sure to bring you the latest on these, and you can check out some more images after the jump. Via FlightClub.Tistory.

Nike has released numerous retros with a distinctly early-80′s look this year.  Starting with the Big Nike and including others like the Sky Force and Dynasty, this group just grew with the re-introduction of the Nike Dynasty High.  This release is just for the ladies and comes to us in two simple colourways.  One is hewn in the immortal Chicago Bulls’ black, red and white, while the other has a softer touch, adding gold accents to an all white upper.  Grab the black and/or white pair today from Caliroots.

It’s been a while since we got a look at a fresh new batch of Bespokes, but this collection was worth the wait. Four new Air Force 1′s have just been created at Nike Sportswear‘s 21 Mercer store using the tantalizing Bespoke customization options. All four designers came up with very nice results, using a variety of materials from Safari to patent, to suede, to full grain leather and more. The standout of the bunch has to be the grey/red/white pair with the Frankenstein stitching, which if you’ll take a look at the heel, has Safari print on the inner half of the shoe. Kudos to all four designers and be sure to check out a nice look at all four Air Force 1 Bespoke creations. To design your own, you can get over to 21 Mercer to make an appointment.

Some embrace it as a blending of some adored classics, similar to the Spiz’ike, but others see it as yet another busy hybrid model that tarnishes the Air Jordan legacy.

A few years ago the people at Nike SB look to have sampled this Nike SB Blazer for one of their SB riders, Omar Salazar, who will actually be launching his own signature shoe with Nike SB in the Spring 2010 season. This SB Blazer that was never released has a striking resemblance to the Nike SB x Supreme Blazer’s that were released in extremely limited quantities worldwide a number of years ago. The upper features the same quilted leather as the Supreme Blazer only the colorway is a bit different. The outsole and shoelaces are Carolina Blue while the shoe’s tongue has an Omar Space logo and the heel has Omar Salazar’s full name written on the back. The only place you can find these now is ebay. via NSB
