The Nike Dunk has seen a couple notable panda-derived designs in the recent past. This latest hightop isn’t specified as such, but it still excels with a similarly subtle colourway. These add a black suede overlay to a perforated white leather base, the same colours that are repeated on the mid- and outsole. This leaves the blue laces to shine as the main contrast. These are available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Caliroots.

Color: Black/White-Varsity Royal

Back in February, UK sneaker retailer Offspring created some cool vinyl figures of their mascot character and now the little guy is back as part of a collaboration with Vans to celebrate the release of the new Off the Wall pack. The figure sports a vintage Off the Wall logo t-shirt with Vans kicks and comes in a Vans branded box. The limited run of toys will be given away in all Offspring stores with the purchase of any pair of kicks from the Off the Wall pack that just dropped this weekend.

Jason Petrie grew up in Charlotte, NC, always sketching and doodling as a kid. He started drawing shoes in 7th grade science class, after seeing his first pair of Nike Air Trainer 3’s. From that moment he knew he wanted to design shoes for Nike and he has been dreaming up shoes in one form or another ever since. He sold his GI Joe collection to buy his first pair of Nikes that summer and he is still hunting down the right shoe to fill a slot in his collection. After high school he moved to Raleigh, NC to attend North Carolina State University. Jason studied textile technology and industrial design, graduating in 1998.

Mayor’s latest in a long line of dope Bespoke Nike Air Force 1s is quite the sight to behold. At first, you might think these could pass for Infrared, but as it turns out, they were inspired by his love of Strawberry Nesquik. That leaves us thinking that they’re pink, but either way, the reflective 3M Swooshes and heel tab balance out the single coloured suede upper quite nicely. Take a look at more photos after the jump and let us know what drink you’d make into a Bespoke AF1. via NiceKicks

Most of the GS releases from Nike have focused on their back to school theme. These are clearly made for the young ladies, but take a different approach. The Nike Blazer High GS pictured above uses a variety of pinks with black, creating a sort of notebook effect of its own. The side panels meld different sketches, including other pink and black ladies’ Nikes. If your little sneaker lass would like these toe capped kicks, grab them today from Premium Laces.

August means back to school and of course, college football. Ohio State is unquestionably one of the most prestigious football programs in the country and have been wearing Nike jerseys for quite a while. This new Blazer High from Nike Sportswear uses their grey, white and red colour scheme and borrows from the tradition of slapping a Buckeye sticker on the helmets of top performers. The tricky thing here is that be it because of licensing fees or some other reason, the stickers aren’t those traditional Buckeyes, but rather a skull and crossbones made of barbells and a football helmet. Anyone at least 50 miles outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan can cop these now. via HB

When Nike SB created the Dunk Mid, some purists were upset. The Mid has become more popular of late and now it seem that the in-between cut will be branching out into GS-level releases. This one is the latest in Nike’s back to school pack, offering its take on the ‘Nikebook’ marbled notebook theme. These are purple and white, plus the requisite white with blue and red stripes on the underlay. These are available just in time for school from Premium Laces.

Supra’s latest drops for the eighth month hearken back to the most famous release of the eighth Air Jordan. Each of these carries an undeniable ‘Aqua’ vibe into August, starting with the Cruizer. Its lowtop design clearly borrows the Air Jordan IV (4)’s mesh side panels and has already done a turn in Grape. Next up is the Chad Muska Sky Low, which drops the aqua touches in favor of all black and purple. Erik Ellington’s Diablo 1.5 looks more Grape-y than Aqua with its white sole, while the Suprano High is closest to the Aqua VIIIs with its strapped ankles. All four are available now at Vault.

Marshall Faulk’s NFL rookie season started around the same time as the release of the final OG colourway of the sneakers pictured above. His own special Air Jordan IX (9) Low clearly commemorates his time running amok from the backfield of the St. Louis Rams. There’s a good chance he even wore pairs like these during games, given the Edward Jones Dome’s artifical turf. They opt for a simple gold on white palette, replacing the typical ’23′ on the heel with Faulk’s ’28′. Rams fans and Jordan collectors alike will be delighted to find a pair of these in US men’s size 11 at LaceLocked.

Puma must be checking under their collective beds alot. From the Kozyndan El Rey collection to the amazingly elaborate Japanese Monster Pack, the German Cat has been focusing alot of its energy on monster releases. The Puma Slipstream Hi Monster is relatively tame compared to its predecessors, but that does little to diminish their eye-catching designs. These opt for a cheetah printed horse hair underlay topped with faux-lizard, patent and full grain leathers. One goes the tonal black route while the other is based in white, black and purple with light blue and pink adding balance. Grab either or both of these today from The Good Will Out.
