Running track, meet running trail. The Nike Lunar Elite Trail Mid takes the Nike Lunar Elite design and gives it a mid-cut treatment by extending the ankle upwards, creating a full-fledged mid-top trail shoe. Speckled midsoles, trail-inspired laces, and colors viewable from outer space (in case you get lost in the woods) are what make up these two Nike Lunar Elite Trail Mid releases – both of which are available now at 21 Mercer. Who knew rocket science would ever be used for trail shoes? Check out the images after the jump and head to 21 Mercer to cop these because these Quickstrikes won’t be at your everyday shop.

The recent EA Sports x Nike Trainer 1.2 collaboration featured the two upcoming EA Sports football simulation games as well as two big-name pro-athletes in Drew Brees and Tim Tebow. Both colorways flew off the shelves upon release and those who were fortunate enough to get their hands on a pair were very much pleased with the attention to detail allotted to each shoe. Here’s a look at a special EA Sports x Nike packaging that features the covers of the upcoming EA Sports franchise video games; Superbowl MVP Drew Brees and Heisman winner Tim Tebow were selected as the coverboys of the videogames and now you can see them on this limited edition packaging. The boxes are not a conventional Nike shoe-box but rather a slide-out construction – think half a Jordan CDP box. This commemorative packaging was not included in the regular release but were given to friends and family of Nike, but this is one extravagance that everyone would love to see. Check out the extra shots of the special packaging as well as the shoes after the jump and let us know which box – or game – is MVP!

Cadillac grills, Cadillac mills. Check out the oil on my Cadillac…sneakers? On a scale of 1-to-10, that might score a negative-three in the make-sense-o-meter. Cadillac, the luxury subsidiary of General Motors, has embarked upon a new endeavor of sorts, as the auto company known for its stretch coupes or more recently its daunting SUVs is now trying its hand with sneakers, and its employing the help of Bun B, a hip-hop recording artist who is also recognized for his penchant for flashy footwear. Bun B’s been spotted with Space Jam-esque kicks recently, like the Air Jordan XI Retro to a pair of Space Jam Bespokes, but this new pair is indeed a set of Cadillacs in a piano black patent leather and mesh-type material underlay. A Cadillac crest logo is also placed adroitly on the rear heel of the midsole as well. Take a look at Bun B’s newest kicks and let us know what you think of this latest partnership. via FRESHNESS.

The James Bond for David Beckham x adidas Originals collaboration has produced some of the coolest lifestyle-oriented takes on Three Stripes’ classic designs.  Here are three new models from Bond and Becks, each of which has its roots in a classic adidas release, albeit with some significant changes.  Take for example the adidas Forum Mid, whose white sole is easily identifiable, but we’ve never seen a forum in nothing but lush hunter green leather!  Next up is the ZX Trail Mid, which borrows its sole from the ZX 8000 and its soul from a similarly hewn Marathon TR Mid that released earlier this year.  And last but not least, the adidas Montreal-inspired Stripes lowtop, which lacks a heel cup so you can fold it down for double duty as a slip-on.  Check out shots of all three after the jump and look for them at select adidas Originals retailers starting October 10th.  via EUkicks
