Modern streetwear has its roots in the great pieces of American workwear, so combining perhaps *the* iconic skateboarding company with a brand known worldwide for its durable goods, and you’ve got all the makings of a superior release. The Carhartt x Vans Authentic is a followup of the 2008 collabo between these two that goes the less obvious route. While the ’08s were done in Carhartt’s indestructable canvas denim, these go for a mix of suede and ripstop nylon that’ll take a beating whether you skate in them or not. Pairs in black, olive green and khaki all have construction orange outsoles and will hit retailers in early November. Click below to see photos of all three and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via FNG

On Thursday Sneaker News showed you a ‘fun’ pair of the Nike WMNS Court Force Hi that featured a mix of festive colorways and a neat multi-dot patter on a rear ankle panel of the shoe. Here’s another colorway of the Court Force Hi for the ladies that features a curious woodgrain-like pattern on the upper panel; it’s not actually wood, but what appears to be a stitched applique set to mimic the age-rings and knots usually found on wood. These also feature the ‘Blaze Craze‘ tongue label that was seen on a pair of WMNS Blazer Mids. Definitely an interesting concept so take a look at the images after the jump and head over to at JDSports where these have just released.

Before the Hufquake Air Max 1, Huf designed another pair of the 87 (his favorite Nike shoe of all time), selecting grey and green as his choice of colors. Another idea he had in mind was implementing the color pink, as seen in this Huf x Nike Air Max 1 unreleased sample. The color-blocking of this sample pair remains the same as the original grey/green released version, but clearly the use of hot pink adds a kick. We also got a look into Keith Hufnagel’s personal fave Nikes as well as the thought process behind the Huf x Nike Air Max 1, courtesy of Freshness. Much like the other Huf x Nike Air Max 1 sample we showed you, this look-see version is extremely rare and you probably won’t see these come along so often, so take a look at the images after the jump and keep your eye on this auction from middlefinger! on eBay.
Color: Anthracite/Hot Pink-Medium Grey

Earlier this year Sneaker News had the opportunity to interview Nathan VanHook, the designer of the Nike Aina Chukka, and we pretty much learned the ins and outs of the shoe. The origin of the name, the purpose behind the diamond stripe on the midsole, and the overall goal of this Nike Sportswear model were some of the questions that were answered by VanHook, but one aspect that cannot be questioned is this new colorway. Check out the Obsidian, Spice, and White colorway of the Aina; the suede upper returns but with a spice-red trim and inner lining, and overall provides an all-purpose look that the Aina was set to do from the start. Check out the images after the jump and pick up a pair from 95soleman on eBay.

Nike’s known for thinking ahead of its time but for its retro-inspired runners like the Air Max Liquid Racer, the designers went with an completely opposite approach – thinking years before their time. Job well done on the Liquid Racer, as it truly does appear to be a release from the 90′s. The Air Max Liquid Racer features the Air Max Light midsole with an upper similar to the Air Max 1, using a metallic upper trim to achieve that ‘liquid’ feel. On the insole of this pair you will see the Air Max Fighter character that’s been seen on some recent Nike tees. Continue reading for another look at this new colorway and pick up a pair from StepToRun on eBay.

The Nike Air Escape ACG is probably better known amongst younger sneakerheads for the various Escape Pack releases, than the OG Escape model itself. Thanks to Nike Sportswear’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection, we now get a chance to relive the Air Escape in all its early ’90s glory, and here are the first two colorways that you should expect to hit retailers shortly. One goes with a Safari ’87-like combo of red and orange accents on a mostly black base, while the others are somewhat more Mowabb-leaning with a sandy brown giving way to tonal blue hits. Check out both of them in detailed images after the jump and check for these shortly from your local NSW retailers; Japan’s Sportsmario just got theirs.

Once seen alongside the Dunk and Blazer at a variety of retailers, it’s been relatively slow goings for the Nike Court Force High of late. We saw just a single pack of simply colored Court Force Highs earlier this summer as the only 2010 releases, but that changes with this brightly colored drop for the ladies. This WMNS Court Force repeats a pattern of polka dots from a pack of Dynasty Highs also released this summer, but keeps the dots themselves to a minimum, extrapolating their individual colors out into a bold colorblocking scheme. Check out more photos of these high contrast beauties after the jump and look for them soon at stateside Nike Sportswear retailers; Tokyo’s atmos already has theirs.

The New Balance 760 is a high-tech mega-comfort running shoe that boasts a TS2 medial post, ABZORB cushioning on the forefoot, and N-ergy cushioning on the heel, but it’s not the tech-specs that has your eyes glued to your computer screen. Take a look at the New Balance 760 Night Race Rainbow Pack, featured two mens and two womens colorways of the New Balance 760 made up of a seemingly limitless mix of colors. The colors take after the colortones associated with night-time scenery, like the dark-colored pavement and neon lights of the city or the burnt-orange hue of the setting sun. All four pairs feature a rainbow-striped panel on the upper with equally colorful laces as well. These hypercolored New Balances should hit select New Balance retailers soon so check out the Night Race Rainbow Pack after the jump and let us know what you think. via Dunk.

Mesh is a popular choice for runners but here’s a look at two new leather-toed colorways of the Nike Twilight Runner EU; the first features a basic no-frills black and white, featuring a tonal upper with a white swoosh. The second new release combines dark obsidian with white and hints of grey and yellow on the midsole and laceholes. Both of the new colorways of the retro-inspired Twilight Runner just dropped at Titolo in Switzerland so check take another look at both colorways after the jump.

With some players, their greatness simply can’t be contained by a single signature sneaker. Such is the case with one Kobe Dean Bryant, arguably the brightest star in the NBA’s post-MJ era. Kobe is hugely popular the world over, and especially in Asia, where he’s seen as far and away the greatest player in the world right now. So while it might make them a little harder to get, that means the AP-status on the Nike Zoom Kobe Dream Season II fits quite nicely. China already has a bunch, and with plans to build basketball courts in each of its 800k villages, the XDR rubber on the DSII’s soles should be a durable hit. Check out more shots of this upcoming black, white and yellow colorup and stick with Sneaker News for word on its release date, currently scheduled for Fall/Holiday ’10. via Taobao
