Claw Money is probably best known ’round these parts for her (literally) peacocked Nike Vandal High from a couple years back. The graffiti girl turned fashion designer put her signature catty print on two new Vans that showed up yesterday at Bright in Frankfurt. The hightop is something we’ve never seen before, but the low joints look like a chopped off version of Eric Elms’ signature collabo from oh-nine. Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll keep you updated on these. via HS

Paul Rodriguez has his fourth P-Rod Nike SB dropping this year, but don’t forget about the P-Rod 2.5 that was hinted at in the Nike SB 2010 Preview. The “halfsies” idea, taken from Jordan Brand, features the Nike SB P-Rod 2 upper with a skater-friendly vulcanized sole. Sneaker News gave you pictures of three upcoming P-Rod 2.5 colourways, and here’s a fourth one that will be available soon. The all-black colourway uses suede on the upper with a leather swoosh, which is paired with a white midsole. Definitely a more toned-down skater shoe, but the Nike SB P-Rod 2.5 will definitely perform on par with the rest of Rodriguez’ line. via maze.

New Balance is best known not only for their line-up of casual running/walking shoes but also for their manufacturing presence in the US and across the pond in the United Kingdom. What New Balance is not readily recognized for is their basketball sneakers; you won’t see many NBA players wear them these days. If that’s the case, let’s take it back a few decades to the 80s, when the New Balance P790LK was a popular high-top basketball shoe. It returns today in a quintessential Lakers color-combo to give props to the NBA Champion Lakers. A white leather upper, perforations on the rear panel, and a sky-high tongue are other defining features. Like the adidas Phantom II NBA Collection, expect more team colourways of the New Balance P790LK soon, or buy your Lakers colourway from shelta.

There are quite a number of Nike Zoom Kobe V colourways, three of which were inspired by popular film. One of the three uses a colourway adapted from the biggest big-screen hit of 2008, The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight Zoom Kobe V uses a stealth black and cold blue seen on the Batman logo from the ’08 movie, and this colourway has been highly anticipated by fans of both Kobe Bryant and the comic-book-hero flick. These are set to drop this Saturday, January 23rd at the Foot Locker House of Hoops, with an appearance by the Black Mamba himself following his game against the Knicks. Another tidbit of info; the Bruce Lee Kobe V has been pushed back to February 6th, so mark your calendars for those as well, but Sneaker News will remind you when the time comes. via FLUL.

Brought back for this summer’s 2010 World Cup, we have the adidas adiFC, one of adidas low cut soccer silhouettes. The pack comes complete with four different colorways to represent Italy, England, Germany and Brazil. All four pairs come with a full leather upper and suede toe as well as a translucent outsole that boasts the flag for the corresponding team. These should be hitting the US soon, in plenty of time for the eagerly anticipated World Cup kick-off this summer, but if you don’t want to miss out, you can pick up all four now at Flauge.

Dwyane Wade will be a free agent at the end of this year, but for now it looks like he won’t be switching teams. He did, however, switch from Converse to Jordan Brand, and already, Wade has established himself as the most prominent member of Team Jordan in the brand’s history. He already has a championship ring on his finger from the ’06 Finals, in which his Jordan-esque 35 points-per-game led the Miami Heat to its first ever NBA title. While Wade has yet to reveal his own line of Jordan Brand shoes, he was seen wearing the recently released Air Jordan XII White/Red against the Indiana Pacers. But take a closer look and you’ll notice a hint of gold on the Jumpman logo on the tongue and again on sides of the midsole, giving them a personalized Miami Heat vibe. Check out the pics after the jump, and we’ll keep you updated whenever Wade wears some Jordan heat in the future. via Yahoo Sports.

Team Jordans are usually reserved for the basketball court or to beat around. However, the recently released Jordan 16.5 is definitely catching the eyes of some Jordan purists due to its fine design, one that could easily pass an Air Jordan signature shoe. Team Jordans are usually available in a wider range of colourways, particularly of college teams, like the UNC Jordan 16.5 PE and Georgetown Jordan 16.5 PE. Check out the Aquatone Jordan 16.5; you might expect to see these on the feet of CP3 or some of his teammates from time to time, as this Aqua Jordan VIII colourway fits the New Orleans Hornets uniforms to a tee. The black patent toe and clear sole say “Space Jam XI” but the aqua stitching and purple lining demand attention too. These are available at Jordan retailers nationwide. via NT.

We showed you pictures of the Feather colourway of the WMNS Nike Air Force 1 Premium yesterday, and a black High-top with similar graphic was previewed earlier this month. Here’s a look at the red colourway of the WMNS Nike Air Force 1 Premium sharing the same print as the other two. Call it what you want, but it’s pretty tough to pinpoint. Is it cobblestone? Cheetah spots? Or maybe that of a dalmation? Who knows. What we do know is that this red colourway is incredibly vibrant and will surely catch the attention of jealous eyes on the street. While these aren’t an official Valentine’s Day colourway like the other Valentine’s Day Nike Aerofit High, the sultry red surely makes it fitting for the holiday, although the orange sole might suggest otherwise. If you need these, brush up on your Chinese dialects and grab yours on Dunk.

What’s the chance that this latest release will appear in an upcoming MVPuppets commercial? We kinda doubt that, actually, but this Nike Air Force 25 Low from the upcoming Lebron vs. Kobe Pack did pop up right around the time of Lil Dez’ first peek at stardom. These joints are white with Laker-flavoured accent hits, and you know the AF25′s just gotta have that transulcent outsole. Expect the navy blue LeBron James edition soon, because Kobe’s pair just dropped at Kix-Files.

The Nike Dunk Low SB is making a strong comeback in 2010 with a number of colourways utilizing basic color-blocking from the earlier Nike SB seasons. Give it whatever nickname you’d like; Spiderman Dunk SB Lows, Independence Day Dunk SB, yadda yadda yadda. Rising above any name given to these kicks is the fact that this Red, Royal Blue and White colourway is NICE. Check out the use of material, like that of the Nike Dunk Low SB J-Pack; suede on the toeguard and rear panel, leather on the toe and center. If Nike SB has big expectations for 2010, these Dunk Lows will surely raise the bar. Check back with Sneaker News and we’ll let you know when these drop. via maze.
