Here is a look at Puma’s Rudolf Dassler Schuhfabrik Collection. The collection is very modern and is inspired by all things sports but not only the sports themselves. The designs inspirations are said to have gone back all the way to the beginning of sports and relate to such cultural ideas like Cubism and Bauhaus, Dadaism and Jazz, and Modernism. The silhouettes feature an upscale minimalist design approach using a variety of textures and colors. via Kenlu

Two new Nike Zoom Sharkalaid PE’s were just dropped at House of Hoops. One pair for Utah Jazz Point Guard Deron Williams and another for Memphis Grizzlies Foward Rudy Gay. Both pairs of Sharkalaids feature a patent leather upper with mesh side panels and cross straps with contrast stitching, taken from the Nike Air Raid design.

The latest Air Force 1 Bespoke to come out of Nike Sportswear’s 21 Mercer space in New York City is this pair of AF1 Low’s designed by Eric Villatoro who chose to use a number of exotic materials and colors. Villatoro used a Purple nubuck on the quarter and heel of the shoe with the front of the shoe and toebox using a twister croc leather, also in Purple. For the Swoosh and heel of the shoe Eric decided to go with Nike’s iconic Safari print and he completed the shoe by giving it an Infared contrast stitch on the upper and midsole.

Here is a new style being released from Nike Sportswear in Spring 2010 for both men and women, the Nike Huarache Dance Low. The basic silhouette seems like a cross between the original Huarache and a Nike Court Force. There is a wide array of materials used for these, both natural and synthetic.  These Huarache Dance Lows boast leather, neoprene, perforated suede and patent leather uppers that are ideal for comfort and flexibility, which all sit on a rubber midsole and outsole similar to the sole of the Nike Court Force. Keep reading after the jump for a look at all the upcoming Spring 2010 colorways and thanks to Shoeniverse for the pics.”

Who knew HUF got Pumped?  We know there are probably a few of the 20th Anniversary Reebok Pump collaborations still waiting in the wings, but the quick turnaround between these teaser photos and the Saturday, November 21st release of 31 individually-numbered pairs.  They go with a modified Oregon Ducks palette, adding some blue to the green hits for a deep turquoise.  Seems like a good geographical comparison despite Nike’s proximity, especially with the Pendleton-like woolen ankle area.  Bright yellow laces match the heel Hexalite insert, joining the speckled outsole as secrets between you and the street.  You’ll probably wanna line up at the Hayes Valley store on Friday night to have a chance at these.

Back in August we gave you a look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VII in the black/metallic gold colorway, also known as “The Phantom.” A few months have passed and we have some great detailed images of these LeBron VII’s. The shoe is predominantly black, but that doesn’t mean these LeBrons don’t have some flare to break up the monotony. There are metallic gold details on the L23 logo button, lace loops and surrounding the Swoosh that pop off the black background very nicely. If you’ve been waiting for a better look at these, check out a ton of crisp detailed images of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII after the jump. Via Kinstor.

Adam Goldstein’s loss was not only a shocker in the high-brow celebrity realm, but also hit close to home for many sneakerheads, as he was just as popular to us for his collection of 900+ pairs of serious heat.  As you may know, Deckstar and UNDFTD has started an eBay auction event which will provide all of its winning proceeds to the DJ AM Memorial Fund.

Our initial teaser to you guys gave a small glimpse of what was to be auctioned off to some lucky bidders.  With pairs being added every evening till the first week of December, a number of gems have already been revealed for open bidding.  Take a look below to check out what’s already out, contending for the heaviest hitters.  We think you would be quite surprised at which pair currently holds the highest bid.

You know how St. Vincent St. Mary always gets the flyest LeBron PEs and Kobe has a few schools that he supports?  Well, Jordan Brand has the same sort of deal going with Carmelo Anthony’s high school alma mater, Oak Hill Academy.  The Virginia prep school has such a high profile that one of their games last fall was the real-life debut for the Air Jordan Sixty Plus, which has gone on to be a huge seller.  These Air Jordan XX1 (21) PEs won’t be, as this pair might be the only one you ever have the chance to get.  Done in an impressive combination of grey and black nubucks, these joints are available from ISS on eBay.

Can’t make it to Paris this weekend for the Supra Skytop II release at colette?  No problem.  Well, that is, if you’re a size 11.5.  The Chad Muska’s second signature Supra is set to drop on November 21 exclusively at France’s best sneaker boutique, but you can try your hand at this sample pair and use what you save on airfare for shipping and handling.  It appears that these were plucked from the colette set, so their ‘sample’ status mostly reflects their yet-to-be-available status.  If you need some AJVI flavor in your Supras, cop these from D_Is_Rolling on eBay.

Here’s the fourth stateside salute to 20 years of Reebok Pump technology.  LA’s UNDEFEATED joined the fray along with Packer Shoes, Bodega and Kicks/HI today, issuing a couple of teaser images of their ‘Rain Check’ Pump20.  There’s very little that says quite alot in this photo of the double-branded hangtag.  It’s dangling off a navy blue nylon upper that gets accents in the form of gold stitching woven through the laces.  They’re throwing a release party on Friday, November 20th at the store on West Sunset, so expect updates from Sneaker News between now and then.  via HS

Update: These are Parra Air Max 1, not Patta as we previous wrote.

At this point, Dutch sneaker heavyweights Patta are no strangers to Nike collaborations or the Air Max 1. They have recently revealed two different colorways of the Air Max 1, adding some fresh shades of green and purple canvas to the shoe’s classic color blocking for a new look. Now, thanks to the recent Patta interview feature on Complex, we get a brief, but enticing preview of another Air Max 1 collabo in the works between Patta and Nike. As you can see, this new version sports a solid burgundy suede upper with a white midsole, light blue accents and a multi-colored outsole. There isn’t much else known about this project at the moment, but stay tuned for more news as soon as it breaks.

It looks like Nike’s new design trend has moved on from making fusions to simply applying an autoclaved soles to some past basketball faves for a flipped lifestyles look.  But designs like this Auto Flight seen here even further separate itself from its original Air Flight Hi form, at least compared to some other colorway choices we’ve already seen.  We couldn’t see Scottie rocking these alongside MJ’s sig designs, could we?  The essential Bulls colorway is garnished with patent leather ad a safari print along some of the paneling, mostly towards the back.  The solid red found on the Swoosh, lining trim and sole make a good balance to the atypical athletic design.  Though these are a HOH exclusive, you can come ‘em on the 19th from LTD-Online.
