Last month we showed you some preview images of the Nike SB Dunk Low St. Patty’s Day Quickstrike. Already popping up at a Nike SB retailer in Mexico, we can expect these to drop stateside in March 2010, but you knew that already, so here are some additional images with newer angles of the Patty’s for you go get a better picture and a look at the skinny green laces. The green suede and hemp-like material on the toe and swoosh make up the upper with a red NIKE label on the rear – very much like the Dunk SB Heineken. A special graphic of what appears to be a tuft of green grass is also evident on the insoles. Watch for these to drop at your Nike SB spot soon. via N-SB.

With springtime rapidly approaching, it’s time to get your sandal game in order. In all seriousness, you probably don’t collect sandals like real Jordans and we typically don’t see many here on Sneaker News. But just peep the name Jordan Hydro VI, and you can see that this is a popular model for over half a decade now. The Hydro VIs incorporate the fuzzy, encircled Jumpman made famous on the Air Jordan VIII, this pair particularly resembling the OG True Reds. As long as you promise not to wear these with socks, you can grab a pair today from vandammage81 on eBay.

Wale very well might be the most famous sneakerhead in hip-hop right now. Sure, there are guys like DJ Clark Kent, who’s a true OG in both achievement and collection status, but what prominent rapper these days can hold a candle to Wale’s sneakers? Complex just upped the ante on their list of lists, curating a collection of Wale’s Greatest Footwear moments. Most of them are Nikes, of course, but we won’t spoil it for you. Check out some pics after the jump, and you can check out the whole list at Complex.com.

The adidas Originals OT-Tech Pack marches on with anothe high-contrast release. Like all the pairs we’ve seen so far, this adidas Originals Stan Smith 80s CF combines black, white and royal blue in a way that’s decidedly un-’panda’. Adding white on the velcro straps of an otherwise monochromatic black leather upper means this could be the first time you do a double take on some old man shoes. Wisdom dictates you check your local adidas Originals retailer, as these just touched down at Japan’s mita sneakers.

Before this year, ‘Air Jordan icons’ could have included the Jumpman, Wings logos, or any of the unmistakable silhouettes that have made up a quarter-century of hangtime. As of 2010, though, the Air Jordan Icons is a new team model that incorporates design elements from Jays XX and XX3 into one aggressive design. These first two colourways could probably go with about half of all teams’ jerseys, as you’re getting a black Chicago-style palette and another pair in white and navy. Grab one or both pairs today from Jordan Brand retailers like Finish Line.

Japan’s Kazuki Kuraishi has a huge capsule of stuff for adidas Originals, some of which is also a collaboration with other brands. His team-up with Clot is garnering attention for it’s ‘Breathe’-able upper, and with these the material choice is also key. This adidas Originals Campus ’80s has KZK get up with Tokyo’s DJ Mintos on a supremely supple grey pigskin upper. Hard to remember a time when a grey, black and white shoe (with just a touch of gold) was this exciting to look at, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for their mid-March release. via HS

The four-headed monster of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield, Mark Parker, and Mark Smith teamed up to produce a pair of shoes that would leave us speechless and struggling for breath or even a coherent thought. It’s happened time and time again, and the Nike HTM2 Run Boot High only furthers that trend. The Run Boot High is a futuristic take on the classic Chelsea boot, featuring pull-tabs and elastic ankle for wearing, but adds Nike’s sport touch with the Free grooved sole and protective rubberized toe. The Nike HTM2 Run Boot High is a Tier Zero release meaning getting a pair will be rather tricky, but a number of samples of the HTM2 Run Boot High in good sizes have appeared for sale from crazyforsneaker on eBay.

James Bond used its name for a totally new design in David Beckham’s adidas Originals line, but what about the OG Gazelle? Glad you asked. It’s here, looking better than ever in red suede. That material always looks good with white contrast hits, and the vintage sole discolouration adds some depth. Toss in the gold leaf print and these have the look of a shoe you might have seen the last time Canada hosted the Olympics. Grab this hot new colour for your springtime fits, now available from Caliroots.
