Element Skateboards and Premier – two giants of the skater outfitting arena – have partnered up to produce a great colorway of an Element Halifax, giving props to the Midwest skater scene. Constructed of cracked suede, nylon, and nubuck, this Premier x Element Skateboards collaboration is a tribute to the rugged skater terrain – cracked sidewalks and curbs, sticky blacktop, and brick-laden streets. The bottom sole features a cracked graphic seen through a signature translucent Tree S.A.P. tread, and a tongue with a Premier label. Both Element and Premier have been in the game for quite some time so check out the Premier x Element collab near the end of May when these drop exclusively at Premier.

The latest Nike Air Force 1 Low GS has the look of a collaboration with Hewlett-Packard. There’s nothing officially linking these to HP, but you’ve gotta admit that the CMY-on-white colorway has you thinking of a printer cartridge, while the concentric circle pattern poking through the translucent midsole resembles some of their more whimsical ads. That association is a bit of a stretch, but we’re glad to see the icey soles that show up on plenty of Uptowns these days, extended up onto the midsole. Sure to be a big hit with the lil ladies this summer, these should be out in the near future. via Dunk.com.cn

The University of Oregon is about as tight with Nike as they can be, within NCAA regulations, of course. And even though Li-Ning and adidas both have American HQs in that beautifully wild state, it’s another overseas brand who has applied the Ducks look in one of the most wearable designs yet. This Asics Gel Lyte III avoids the ‘ALERT’ vibe by adding healthy portions of white, grey and black between a beautiful emerald green and sunbeam yellow. Best of all, this shoe was designed back in 1992 and its OG colorway is clearly beyond reproach. It’s quite a nice look if you can wear them with a relatively tame fit, so grab yours today from SneakersNStuff.

If you’re a loyal reader to SN, then you may be familiar with the work of Gabriel Dishaw. The junk artist recycles electronic parts and metals to create these full scale sculptures of popular sneakers, particularly Nike models. Dishaw will host his first ever solo exhibition for this year’s 360SEE Gallery Earth Day Event. Each piece of work is fitted with recycled luggage to home the sculpted pair.
Additionally, there will be 3 sets of AF1′s which Dishaw will customize with his signature style, such as circuit board Swooshes and micro-chip lace locks. Each set of AF1′s will be limited to 5 editions (size depends on buyer’s request) with all proceeds going to the Earth Day Network. Hosted by Chicago sneaker spot, St. Alfred, the show opened up last Friday and will continue until the end of May. Check out some of Dishaw’s pieces after the jump.

Nike has gotten carried away with World Cup fever, but even the Swoosh didn’t create an entirely new design to celebrate the quadrennial global soccer tourney. Enter the Puma JB2010, named for Johannes(B)urg, South Africa (and we’ll leave the rest to you to figure out). Both pairs of these new hightops go with the Puma favorite red/yellow/green palette, with the white pair a shout out to Ghana, while the black joints were inspired by Camaroon. These will likely be available in the US soon, since they just touched down at the FLAUGE store on the Japanese e-mall Zozotown.

A packed house filled 21 Mercer last night as the infamous Mister Cartoon stopped by to help celebrate the launch of the collaboration collection that he designed for the USA leg of the NSW True Colors World Cup Pack. The store was decked out in patriotic pride with Cartoon’s various USA logos gracing the walls and pieces from the USA True Colors collection on display throughout the space. Shortly after the event kicked off, the man of the hour sat down for an entertaining Q&A session and took questions from the crowd on a variety of topics. Besides getting to know Mister Cartoon a little better, those in attendance also got a chance to get their Nike iD on thanks to two different design stations; one for the upcoming World Cup Blazer iD and the other allowing folks to create a t-shirt to be printed right on the spot, using an assortment of Cartoon’s USA graphics. And as if all that wasn’t enough, a taco truck stationed outside made sure everyone was well fed and in good spirits while enjoying the festivities. Keep reading for a photo recap of the event, including a look at some fresh footwear from the crowd.

Sneaker Freaker is the well-loved Austrailian magazine that pre-dated all of the sneakerhead websites, save NikeTalk and maybe ISS. It used to be bi-annual and is a bit more frequent these days, but certainly not monthly, adding to the anticipation for each cover. For issue 18, SNKRFRKR had graphic design studio Wildmind whip up a 3D cover celebrating their latest collab. The SneakerFreaker x Asics Gel Lyte III ‘Alvin Purple’ will be released later this year and is given a nice boost by this coming-right-atchu cover. If you have a pair of glasses from training your dragon or whatever, feel free to pop em on and get the full effect in the images after the jump.

After Miami’s loss to the Boston Celtics in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs, a number of questions regarding Dwyane Wade’s free agency and the future of the Miami Heat remain. Once the dust settles, Wade will be faced with a career-changing decision; does he stay with Miami, the team that drafted him and won his first title with, or does he bolt for another team – rumors pointing to his hometown Chicago Bulls – in search for a title elsewhere? Chicago would seem like a good fit, given his Chi-Town roots and the conveniently fitting colorways of future Air Jordans. Although we’ve seen the last of D-Wade in the ’09-’10 season, here’s a final look at an Air Jordan 2010 – one that we’ve seen before – with his jersey number placed in the window. Check out the gallery after the jump and let us know where you think D-Wade will end up next season. via Yahoo!.

Deion Sanders spent but one season with the San Francisco 49ers, but that was a good one, with the Niners running away with the Super Bowl XXIX title. With that in mind, it’d be easy to assume that the Nike Air Diamond Turf dropped during that 1994 regular season. But Neon Deion had previously played in Hotlanta, so you can see how this white, black, red and gold colorup compliments the old Falcons jerseys as well. These are a perfect retro, but ’24 21′ has been changed from Deion’s baseball and football numbers over to ’2010′. Throwback jerseys are dead, at least for the time being, so you can pair these with something complimentary when they drop at Nike Sportswear retailers including Foot Locker in June 2010.

Nike Shox was a revolutionary idea when the first models dropped back in 2003. Most people had long given up on the idea of shoes making you jump higher, but here was a series of shoes with a responsive cushioning system that felt like heaven on your feet the moment you took them out of the box. Perhaps the only way to make Shox cushioning better would be to combine it with other cutting edge tech, and a Nike Air-filled Shox pillar is the obvious pairing. The Nike Air Shox NZ 2.0 is a Flywire-equipped update to the NZ series that debuted in early ’03 and the translucent Air Shox look super cool. These models from the massive Nike Air Attack Pack will hit stateside retailers in May, and it’ll probably be sooner than later, seeing as they just hit Nike Harajuku.
