In mid-June Sneaker News showed you an amazing pair of customs done by Jake Ferrato aka JBF, one he called the Nike SB Blazer Mid ‘Molten Lava’. His newest custom pair of Blazers should put him one step closer to becoming a household name in the customs category, as he achieves the clean and simple look to a tee using premium materials on an unfailing black/grey/white colorway. Here’s a look at the a custom Nike SB Blazer Mid that Jake titles ‘Stealth’; the upper is constructed of 1000 Denier Ballistic Nylon, Black Leather, and 3M Reflective material, with a quilted inner lining. The rear heel panel features a special angled cut, making the swoosh appear as if it’s tucked under the leather panel, and the entire package is finished off with JBF’s signature stitched onto the heeltab. Check out the extra images after the jump and hit up JBF to get a pair of 1-of-1s done.

John Varvatos’ collaborations with Converse have resulted in some of the highest quality One Star kicks you could ever hope to lace up. These new pairs of Converse Star Player hightops are right up there with the very best Nike Blazer VNTG releases, mixing in a pre-loved sole look with ultra-premium muted suede uppers. A blue pair gets tonal leather accents and laces while the yellowish joints add a deep brown shade. Check out shots of both of pairs after the jump and look for them at upscale Converse retail accounts. via HS

Asian sneakerheads already have the benefit of seeing many shoes drop in Japan way before they hit in the US, but this new Nike Air Force 1 High Quickstrike might be a step to far. It’s quite a shame that these are an Asia-Exclusive release, cos the classic high-contrast colorway coupled with premium materials makes for a killer AF1. The underlay and midsole on these is white with a supple black leather on the Swoosh, eyelets and toebox offering a subtle contrast to the richest tumbled leather you could imagine on the hindfoot area. Add touches of red on the tongue and sockliner and these are among the best AF1 Highs not named ‘Foamposite’ in a year that has been dominated by the Lows. Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on any way US buyers can get your hands on these. via IST

Terry Kennedy’s first shoe with Supra featured a super-high cut with two gaudy straps at the ankles. For his second shoe, the Supra TK Low, the script was flipped as TK went with a low-profile low-cut silhouette, almost a complete opposite of the Supra TK Society. This new colorway of the TK Low in teal, black, and white, features a canvas and leather construction as well as a TK tongue label. These just became available at Premier, so check your local Supra retailers and check out some more pics after the jump.

Last month Sneaker News showed you a sample pair of the Nike Air Chukka Boot with hints of military inspiration. No, it wasn’t the Nike SFB nor an ACG Product, but a lifestyle shoe with a sleek design ready for every day use, not just for rugged terrain. The released version has been named the Nike Air Ratna Mid, and two colorways just released at Nikestore UK; featuring tonal uppers with an instep strap harnessed with a rubberized heel cup, the Air Ratna could be aimed toward to Doc Marten crowd or for those looking for a boot with dress-shoe versatility. Again, these just hit Nikestore UK so take a look after the jump and grab a pair if these please your eye.

The Nike Twilight Runner was released in recent years, taking design elements from various Nike runners from the 90s. A truly retro-inspired sneaker, the Twilight Runner has been a big hit in Europe, where Nike runners reign as king. This new colorway of the Twilight combines Stealth Grey, Orion Blue, Deep Royal, and Black with perfect colorblocking, resulting in a probable hit yet again. A similar colorway of the Nike Twilight dropped earlier this year but this new pair exhibits enough changes to warrant a new pair of shoes! These just dropped over at at Schuh-You so take a look at the detailed shots after the jump for a better view.
Style: 344290-006
Color: Stealth/Orion Blue-Deep Royal-Black

He hasn’t stepped onto an NBA court wearing any of them, but here’s a third signature shoe for Kevin Garnett from his new Chinese sneaker sponsor, Anta. These are more like the heavily piped second pair we saw than the lifestyle-oriented first joints, with a series of dots on the rear midsole instead of vertical slots, along with a new graffiti-style ‘KG’ script. There’s one pair in the Boston Celtics’ white and green while the others you’ll see in more shots after the jump are curiously colored just like their rivals the LA Lakers. Let us know which pair you think is better and stick with Sneaker News for more on the Kevin Garnett Anta deal. via HoopChina

Not to be outdone by CONS, adidas Skateboarding had its own Spring 2011 preview on hand at the ASR Marketplace 2010 tradeshow in San Diego this past weekend. The Tim O’Connor pro model midtop is back, but it looks to have been somewhat upstaged by Mark Gonzales interesting take on the adidas Originals by Originals KZK low-top from Kazuki Kuarishi’s capsule with adidas. Other Three Stripes staples like the Gazelle Skate are also set to release in new colorways, so click the jump below to see the entire collection and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via FRESHNESS

The Nike Vandal High has offered some of the craziest colorways of any sneaker over the years, but this one proves that the Vandal can dress up with the best of em. White leather with white piping is right in step with this year’s push toward monochromatic looks, and you get select black hits to keep up with Nike Sportswear’s other two-toned selections. These black-on-white Vandal Highs are pretty much the exact inversion of a black/white pair that released on the first day of this month, giving you another option for a super-clean back to school look. Check out a bunch of other angles in shots after the jump and grab a pair of these white leather Vandals from Size?

New Balance has done their fair share of super-limited sneakers, but US sneakerheads are often left out in the cold with their Japan exclusives. Such was the case with the dope New Balance CM576 ‘Fujin’, a sick send-up of the Shinto god of wind by that same name. The colorway was heavy on silver and neon green, but for the Fujin 2, atmos and New Balance took a different route. These joints still feature highly breathable mesh upper in honor of the wind god, but with the black, grey and blue design, these come across considerably darker than the OG Fujins. Click the jump below to see more shots of the Fujin 2s and get your overseas connects in order for a release at select retailers including atmos in mid-September.
