This holiday season is bringing alot of love to the ladies in the form of Nike Womens Air Force 1s.  We saw a dope lowtop earlier today in the Phoenix Suns’ colours and now this hightop comes dipped in Chi-town hues.  They’re covered in rich anthracite leather, plus birch and crimson accents that would make a good Christmas-themed sneaker itself.  With the black, though, they’re perfect for all seasons, and are available from Dunk.com.cn

New Balance has released a series of glow-in-the-dark collaborative designs this year.  Interestingly enough, they’ve all been teamups with Japanese brands, as is this latest CM820 that looks like it’s already glowing.  Tokyo-based brand Expansion got up with NB on another mita sneakers exclusive that combines neon pink, yellow and green for accents on a black base.  It’s a look that evokes the ’90s rave culture that was coming up in the UK around the same time that the British-made CM820 first hit retail.  They come with a Silver Subway Ring and ‘EXPANSION’ lacelocks, and will be available at mita soon.  via FRESHNESS.

Nike SB just launched a microsite dedicated to their collaboration with Skate Mental.  When you first get there, you’ll notice a handwritten checklist laid on what looks to be a wooden deck — that’s the navigation for the site.  You can access video, galleries and, of course, the Nike SM product line all from this front page.  The best part is probably the hilariously kitschy photo shoot with the SM guys on vacay in Oregon, getting in touch with the great outdoors.

Here’s the latest in a long line of collaborations between Japan’s mita sneakers and Reebok.  A breath of fresh air amongst a plethora of Pumps, the mita x Reebok Ex-O-Fit Hi Strap has black straps laid over white leather for an eye-popping Max Headroom look.  Pink and gold accents are just perfect for completing that ’80s aesthetic, while a faux-fur sockliner should keep you warm this winter.  Cop them today from mita sneakers.

Wood Wood has transformed the Nike ACG Air Wildwood for its own purposes, and we love all the ACG retros and new boots, but where are all the rugged trail running/hiking sneakers from All Conditions Gear?  Enter the Nike Air Agrelo ACG, pictured above in a clean mix of black and stealth.  They come equipped with the chunky midsole and thick tread along with corded laces so you know they’re ready for the mountains, but this colourway is also perfect for current clothing fashions.  Cop yours today from Acrosssports on eBay.

Have any Nike SB devotees out there ever wondered what would happen if you mixed a Dunk with a Zoom Classic High?  Those two designs might seem too similar to fuse, but that’s more or less exactly what we have here in the Nike Santa Cruise Mid.

This particular pair goes even further and incorporates the late ’80s/early ’90s Nike Basketball aesthetic by fashioning what looks to be a plastic eyelet out of a 3M outline on the hindfoot of an otherwise shiny black leather base.  It adds some character to the design and depth of colour, and means that a new pair is available for you now from FinishLine.

Sneakerhead culture is entirely built upon scarcity.  Hyperstrikes, international releases and samples are all more valuable because of that, but the new trend that seems to be even more common is dope womens kicks that guys can’t fit into.  Such is the case with the latest Nike Air Force 1 Low for women that will likely have alot of dudes in the Phoenix area a tad jealous.  The best thing to do would probably be to just stop hatin’ and grab a pair of these for a lady you like, since they’re available now at Dunk.com.cn.

Unreleased samples are usually pretty hit or miss. When they’re ugly, you’ll usually instantly understand why they were never dropped, and when they’re nice, you scratch your head wondering why such a fresh sample never saw a release, when some real clunkers did. We’ll leave the judgment on these WMNS Air Jordan XI Lows to you, but they seem to fall somewhere in the middle ground. While the heavy touches of Pine Green and Zest may be too much for some, there still seem to be some nice ideas at play here with the color scheme. Take a good look after the jump, because you’ll never see these on the shelves, and be sure to let us know what you think. Via Kenlu.

The Vans 106 model has recently gained some greater notoriety thanks to the Supreme collaboration colorways, and now we take a look at another version of the shoe that might not be a juicy collab, but still packs a nice stylish punch. The Vans Vault edition of the Sierra 106 LX adds a little more style and substance to the simple design thanks to a suede upper, rubber toe cap and boot-like eyelet rings, not to mention a higher mid cut. The Sierra 106 LX is available in two colorways- black with a white midsole and tan with a black midsole. If you like what oyu see, both are in stock now at Flauge.

Last month, we brought you a look at the Artist installments of the adidas Originals Five-Two 3 City Pack, which featured creative new takes on four classic models. Now, we see the latest offering from the series, this time partnering with three different Japanese brands for some interesting new versions of the classic adidas Samba. For this leg of the collection, it will be Cheez, Kalavinka and Yoppi of Hectic lending their visions to the iconic soccer shoe, giving it three very different new looks in the process. Keep reading for a closer look at all three and keep an eye out for the pack hitting select retailers such as VA in the near future.

Jordan Brand has launched a series of successful lifestyle sneakers and boots, but what about an answer to Nike ACG?  Enter the Jordan Expedition, a rugged cross trainer with styling that’s all at once quintessentially ‘Jordan’ and somewhat beholden to the All Conditions Gear heritage.  This particular pair goes with the can’t-miss colourway we call ‘bred’ and represents a whole new style of hybrid for JB to explore.  Get started early with your pair from FinishLine.

Fluff not only nailed their Nike SB Zoom Bruin collaboration, but they perfectly translated their name to its release party.  Held at the Nike SB pop-up shop in Barcelona, Spain that’s managed by local boutique Trust Nobody, the party showed off the upcoming Fluff book in an all white room that probably resembles living on a cloud.  Back on earth, people were chillin with good music, enjoying the skateboarding-themed photography exhibit and eating tapas to celebrate the Bruin drop.  If you couldn’t make it to the party, enjoy some photos after the jump.
