We can always appreciated a look into future releases, so here’s a Nike SB Blazer that is set for a September 2010 release. The upper is very simple, consisting of a nightshade upper (something like a dusk blue) with a black swoosh. The heeltab is white, as is the honey-combed vulcanized midsole (shouldn’t all Blazer midsoles be white?). Expect these to featured in Sneaker News’ upcoming Nike SB Previews. via N-SB.

Above is the first shoe in adidas’ A.039 collection that’s actually blue.  But, A.039 is the adidas colour code for royal blue, so this new Campus 80s continues the curiously named collection’s trend.  The only place you’ll see royal is printed on the insoles, but fashion traditionalists would probably like to see it in place of the navy, especially when paired with black.  Chances are, some of your jeans are somewhere in between, and you can cop these complimenting Campus 80s from Caliroots.

The New Balance CM1500 has been a popular choice when it comes to collaborations between New Balance and <Insert Your Euro Sneakershop Here>. The multi-layered design of the CM1500 (and most other NBs) make it quite easy to adorn with a plethora of colors. But check out this collaboration with Japan-based Beams and the Boston-based sneaker company; the Beams x New Balance CM1500 keeps it OG with the use of grey tones – similar to the trademark colourway of the New Balance 998 that was once considered reserved for geriatrics or those with orthopedic needs. As with most overseas New Balance collabs, these look to be tough to acquire in the states, so grab them directly from Beams.

The sudden craze around the Nike Griffey line is quite puzzling; then again, many of today’s Jordan collectors have never seen the man play in his prime. “The Kid” may have the sweetest swing in the history of baseball, transforming finesse into unrivaled power in the form of 630 steroid-free home-runs. The Nike Air Max Griffey stole the show in 2009 and first peek at the Marina Blue colourway had Griffey fans going ga-ga. Well, the wait is over, as the Nike Air Max Griffey Marina Blue will officially release tomorrow.  Unfortunately, these are indeed a Quickstrike release, but there are still some pairs available for sale on eBay.
