Last month, we showed you a preview of this classy new version of the Nike Free Hybrid Boot and now they are starting to hit retailers along with some crisp new images to admire. The shoe features a beige Haystack premium leather upper with intricate stitching and perforations to help give this version a dressy look. Beach accents are then added to the heel panel, Free midsole and laces to add a little contrast to the color scheme. As a final upscale touch, there are some metallic gold eyelet holes and rivets on the heel. Those who feel the need to stay fresh even at the office or formal occasions just might be able to get away with rocking these with some dresswear. If so, you can get your hands on a pair now on eBay. Photos: ID4SHOES.

Nike likes to ride design elements on their Dunk releases for a while. The latest Beaverton favourite is their new splatter pattern. Well, it’s not exactly new, as it clearly mimics the ‘lava’ from Andre Agassi’s Air Tech Challenge II, but it’s being applied in all new combinations for upcoming releases. This one has an emerald green and orange mix on the rear quarter/heel, an eye-catching combination that looks even more audacious with the navy blue toebox and eyelets that lay atop a yellow leather toe and side panel area. These will release in September at Nike Sportswear retailers like Foot Locker.

If we told you that DC Shoes was doing a collaboration with a famous resident of New York’s Rivington St., you’d probably assume it was ALIFE and/or their Rivington Club. ALIFE is no doubt a great teammate when it comes to designing sneakers, but this time, it’s actually the Hotel on Rivington lending its touch to DC Shoes’ Life Collection.
This newest Admiral looks a whole lot like DC’s duet with Atlanta’s Standard. Almost too much. In fact, the only difference we can see is that the Standard joints used hunter green laces to mimic the turf on their new Lenox Square store’s astroturf floor. It’s also possible that these are a deeper red than the Standard version, but that depends alot on the lighting. The undeniably unique twist to these is that the Hotel’s staff will be rocking these all summer. Take a look at the photos of both and let us know what you think.

The Jordan Fusion series just left off on the AJF 4, today, Jordan Brand has announced this Holiday’s Fusion based on the Air Jordan XIII. We had a sneak peek of the AJF 13 from the line sheet some time back but the production units definitely give us a better look at the final shape. For those of you living under a rock, the Air Jordan Force line takes “The Best of Both Worlds” (an Air Force 1 and an Air Jordan) and fuse them into one. This particular model uses a good chunk of the Air Jordan XIII’s styling but still keeps to the Air Force 1′s shiloutte. Be on the look out for these this Holiday, with the White/Black-Varsity Red colorway due November 21 and the Black/Varsity Red-White out on December 19.

The All Day is a new basketball model that Jordan Brand will be releasing next spring. Rather than relying too heavily on classic Air Jordan designs like some other non-signature models, the All Day flaunts a look all its own. The shoe sports a sleek silhouette with a high cut and some very interesting design touches. For one, these kicks appear to have a visible Air bubble near the ball of the foot rather than in the heel. The All Day also features an innovative ankle strap and an eyelet ring that extends well below the others on the side of the upper. These won’t be around for a while, but hopefully we’ll have some more pics for you soon. For now, you can check out a closer look at these three colorways after the jump. Via TheShoeGame.

If you are a frequent reader of Sneaker News you are probably well versed by now on the infamous Kryptonate Foamposite Lite, Nate Robinson wore during his awe-inspiring winning slam dunk. Nate Robinson’s Kryptonite-inspired Nike Foamposite Lites have instantly ascended to legendary status and have become one of the most vigorously coveted sneakers in recent memory. So much so the release at the House of Hoops back in March 2009 drew a multi-day queue in anticipation of St. Patty’s Day drop. The sneaker has not been available any where else outside of House of Hoops, but good news for the Asian sneaker community, they have slowly started to hit some retailers so check in with your top tier Nike Basketball retailers in Asia.

Aside from the trade show going on at Outerspace in Barcelona right now, the main event has to be the incredible Sneaker Expo Exhibition that is on display at the event. For as far as the eye can see, there are rows of wooden crates with glass windows that reveal a collection of some of the most incredible rare and vintage sneakers ever seen all in one place. Some of the kicks on display date back over 20 years and many are still complete with their original boxes and packaging. As you might expect, Nike kicks dominate the show with both OG classics and newer offerings like some beloved Nike SB models. Aside from Nike, many other brands are represented with some vintage throwbacks from Adidas, Reebok, Converse, New Balance, Asics and more, as well as some old-school skate models from Vans and Airwalk. Keep reading after the jump and take your time scouring a boatload of pics of all the wonders contained in this sea of crates. Via glltn.

Nike 6.0 has definitely stepped their game up of late. Their latest collaborative effort is one of the strongest efforts in the line’s relatively short history. Featuring designs from artist Mad Steez and his protegé Sinkween, the Nike 6.0 Braata ‘Stinkween’ looks like it was made for Hallo-ween. These joints have a green upper with purple accents and some Where the Wild Things Are-like monsters on the highly detailed outsoles. The laces and monster teeth on the tongue glow in the dark, nicely completing the scary theme. You can pre-order these today from Jack’s Surfboards.

Plenty of sneakerheads run off at the mouth about Jordan Brand. Some say too many wacky retro colours (especially for the Air Jordan 1 Retro). Some say Air Jordan Forces are blasphemous. Here’s a good chance to see if you are qualified to make such judgments. An unprecedented move in partnership with a new open source shoe design website called Project Bluefoot (which may or may not be a viral marketing extension of JB), Jordan Brand is offering you the opportunity to create the Air Jordan XXV. Yes, they are calling it the XXV, and yes, you can create it! Head over to ProjectBluefoot.com and check out the entry details.

A few weeks back, we gave you a look at gold and silver women’s Air Force 1′s that use an interesting shimmering metallic snakeskin material on the upper. Now it looks like there will be some more colorways of this eye-catching Air Force 1 concept. This version uses an all red theme with both smooth red leather and the red metallic snakeskin patent on the upper. The midsole and outsole are also solid red with the only accents coming by way of some white touches on the Swoosh and laces as well as on the heel and tongue branding. If you’re feeling these stunners, you can scoop up a pair now on eBay. Photos: ID4SHOES.

Reebok has decided to bring back some lesser known retro models as part of their July ’09 collection. With the success of their various Pump re-issues, it makes sense to bring back some old models that have been flying under most sneakerheads’ radars. The Pump Aerobic Lite and Fitness Pump AXT Plus are both back in some nice basic colorways with a few contemporary updates thrown in. In addition to the Pumps, the ERS 1000 running model will also be making a comeback in a classic-looking white/navy/orange colorway. All three models are expected to hit worldwide Reebok dealers any day now, so keep your eyes peeled. Via Hypebeast.
