Here is a look at an unusual concept by Japanese brand AG. These are the Raiders GTS Boots. These sneakers definitely get some inspiration from the Nike Air Raid and actually look like they also mimic the silhouette of the Ato Matsumoto Hi Strap Sneaker. Although these Raiders GTS Boots get their design inspiration from other well-known brands they offer a fashion forward and luxurious look with the use of premium materials and simple, crisp, clean colorways. These Raiders GTS Boots by AG are available now through Rowgage.

LIVESTRONG releases from Nike this year have put a vicegrip on black/yellow just like ‘Chicago’ did with white/black/red or how most things you see in purple/gold remind you of ‘Lakers’. While this effect is undoubtedly a benefit to the cause of crushing cancer, it might lead to some confusion over these latest Nike Air Max 90s. While they’re not endorsed by Lance Armstrong or his charitable organization, they do look fresh with a mix of black, greys and yellow. You can grab a pair of these today, only from JD Sports.

A few years back, Undefeated teamed up with Nike to create a fresh new look for the Air Force 1. The shoe featured a variety of materials on the upper with a Vandal-like piping adding further to the unique interpretation. In addition to nice color schemes and textures, the most memorable feature of the kicks was the “ONYOURFEETKID” printing along the side of the midsole. In keeping with the theme of creating new LIVESTRONG editions of some Air Force 1 Classics, the UNDFTD AF1 will now be honored with a fresh new “ONYOURBIKEKID” version. As you might expect, the shoe sports the standard Black/Varsity Maize LIVESTRONG color scheme, but still maintains plenty of its original identity thanks to the materials and piping. Release info is still unconfirmed, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted. In the meantime, you can check out some pics of the originals after the jump. Via SnkrFrkr.

How many of you found your way to seeing Fritz the Cat or the biopic Crumb after the artist’s Vans series released? Off the Wall continues to highlight some of the greats of modern American art, this time with more inspired by the pen of Robert Crumb. With this Vans Vault Authentic One Piece LX, they’re going straight at the (irony?) bone, using the KOT character that a judge ruled in 1976 Crumb didn’t own. Maybe this is part of the deal to pay the back royalties he was ordered to pay, but in any case is a pointed reminder of how controversial dude’s drawings have been. Celebrate the demented genius and cop these from Wish.

It’s no secret that DJ Clark Kent is a veteran connoisseur of Air Force 1′s, so when it came time for Complex to compile a list of the top 50 Air Force 1′s of All Time, it was a no-brainer to hit up DJCK for some help. The Air Force 1 is one of the most iconic sneakers in history and has been released in so many incredible variations over the years that narrowing them down to 50 is no small task. The list contains a nice blend of new old, beloved and obscure, as well as some of Clark’s own legendary AF1 creations. Get over to Complex to check out the whole top 50 and see if your favorites are there. And if they’re M.I.A., be sure to let us know what Air Force 1′s you would have included in your top 50.

Japanese mainstays Chapter and Stadium got up with Reebok to create a really interesting take on camouflage. The Reebok Reverse Jam ‘Camouflage Jam’ Collection consists of one pair that has a tradional four-coloured camo patterned upper with a bright red sole. Where it really starts to get interesting is the wheat coloured joints that look like any other Timbo-lookalike until you notice the embossed lines. Camouflaged camouflage…genius! If you’re feelin’ these very ‘meta’ styles, cop both of them from Chapter Express.

Nike’s interesting use of ultra-modern typefaces on their upcoming KD2 is quite similar to Kevin Durant himself. Both are simultaneously hard to see, but when present are smoother than pretty much anything we’ve ever seen, all while being so frail we wonder if they’ll blow away. This is especially true of the ‘Two’ script below the medial strap’s ‘KD’ insignia, which is smaller on the shoe than it appears in this description. Another cool use of text is the unmistakable Futura Book (think ‘Calvin Klein Jeans’) that gives Durant’s embossed tongue tag a hint of high fashion.
Aside from the text details here, we see a shoe that will likely carry a bargain price and stay under the radar just like Durant has while toiling in obscurity for the Zombie Sonics. This pair carries a black base that finds life in the bright blue and orange accents to match OKC’s road uniforms. Tumbled nubuck on the strap and just above the sole would be the signature feature (aside from the text, of course), except for the aggressively ribbed heel cup. Stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Kevin Durant sneakers. via Kenlu

When you’re talking about hills so steep that driving is hard, much less walking, you just know some crazy guy is out there thinking, “How awesome would it be to skate down this?!” San Francisco, CA is notorious for its steep inclines and is famously home to Keith Hufnagel’s namesake skateshop. Huf himself snapped some photos of Nike SB rider Omar Salazar riding from their storefront on Sutter St. and ripping through downtown traffic at high speeds. Peep the grippy advantage of Huf’s black canvas Nike SB Blazer in photos and video after the jump. via HB

A black pair of these popped up in the twelfth issue of Japan’s Shoes Master magazine, and now Hiroshi Fujiwara’s ‘NOISE’ concept has graced a white Nike Terminator High. These are a model of simplicity: all white full grain leather, white stitching and a Swoosh outline of perforations. This simple canvas lets the metallic silver section of heel shine, including the operative print in place of the typical block lettered branding. No word yet on their release, but we’ll keep you posted. via Honeyee

SneakersNStuff has been as busy as anybody in Europe lately, collaborating with adidas and Reebok on two pairs of fuzzy grey kicks. This is the latter, of course, their contribution to the 20th Anniversary of The Pump. Their teasers showed us a bunch of grey shades, and now we get a sense of how the wool and suede design comes together. No fewer than five shades of grey give way to an explosion of orange on the tongue and laces, including one pair that looks to have a grey ‘SNS’ geometrical pattern. The infuriating part about these is that there are only 31 pairs, but if you’re first in line on November 20th, feel free to grab an extra size 12 for yours truly. via HB
