The Pearl Foams just released, but coming soon is a Retro of the Royal Foamposite, as well as the introduction of the Metallic Pewter Foamposite One and Electric Green Foamposite Pro. Falling before, after, or in-between those releases could be this new colorway of the Air Foamposite Pro in Chocolate Brown and White. This colorway resembling a sample version from a few years back was spotted at ‘Sneak and Eat 2010′ in Chicago this past Sunday, and while there’s no word on a release, this new colorway is certainly an interesting development at the very least. Brown has never been used on a Foamposite Pro or One, but has made its way on another Foamposite basketball sneaker, the Nike Air Total Foamposite Max, but that variety came adored with a gum upper and sole for a more workboot look. Chocolate Brown is the primary color of the upper with a lighter mocha shade taking the lace placket and ankle collar, with a white swoosh and bottom sole. Take another look after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more information on a possible drop. Let us know if you’d consider copping the Chocolate Foamposites if they release. via modernnotoriety.

In two separate retrospectives covering his All Star Game kicks and signature sneaker hiatus, Sneaker News has shown you Kobe Bryant in the ‘True Blue’ Air Jordan III. Kobe wore those in the 2003 ASG, accepting the torch from Michael Jordan in what would be His Airness’ last season. And throughout the remainder of that season, Kobe continued to rock Air Jordan PEs, not the least of which is this ‘other’ AJIII in Lakers home colors. Its colorblocking most similar to the Fire Red Threes, these Kobe PEs offer select purple and gold accents atop a mostly white base. Check out more shots of this unique pair after the jump and let us know if you’d purchase these were a similar color to hit retail. via Kenlu

When you combine nylon with the Nike Vandal, you’d probably expect something with a vintage flavor – but with these new Quickstrikes, you can’t help but feel a modern vibe. Here’s a look at a black and metallic summit white colorway of the Nike Vandal High Supreme with a nylon upper and a tonal white midsole; these give off the euro-styled street-boot look thanks to the simple colorway and should better mesh with clothing of a similar style. The strap itself is very simple – canvas with frayed edges and no branding. Take a look at the extra images after the jump; these should hit select Nike Sportswear accounts soon as they’ve already arrived at Special.

Nike Basketball has offered several collaborations with the WBCA Kay Yow Fund in support of breast cancer research, and now Supra’s jumping on the charitable bandwagon. Designed alongside ladies boutique Elyse Walker, the ‘Pink Party’ Supra Skytop avoids the obvious route by adding hints of vivid pink to the sole, eyelets and peeking through from the sockliner. The rest is grey, so these are about as versatile a design as you could hope for, given the inspiration. They’ll enhance basically every outfit you wear alongside them, but getting a pair might prove difficult. Limited to a scant 30 pair run, and word has yet to hit the streets as to whether they’ll be auctioned, given away or somehow otherwise disseminated. Stick with Sneaker News for updates on the latest Supra releases.

If you don’t want fall to come along and darken your evenings, take a look at this new Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Low. These new AF1 Lows for ladies are done in the same simple style that made several other pairs hot sellers this summer, and adding lime green accents to the white base makes for a sweet frozen margarita look. A nice alternative to your typical pink-and-shrink, these joints are now available at select Nike Sportswear retailers including FinishLine.

adidas Skateboarding has already made the Superstar silhouette into Pete Eldridge’s pro model, and while it’s not technically a skate shoe, this new Three Stripes release isn’t too far off, both in name and design. The adidas Originals Pro Model takes the familiar shelltoe to new heights, with this pair going the ‘all black everything’ route, even darkening the usually-white signature toecap. This pair’s buttery smooth leather gives them a premium look, and you can grab your own pair today at select adidas Originals retailers like the United Kingdom’s JD Sports.

In a 12 month period that’s included The Pump’s 20th Anniversary and the advent of ZigTech cushioning, Reebok is enjoying quite the resurgence. Their Insta Pump Fury runner has been a mainstay from the late ’90s on, and the updated model is poised to sit alongside the Zig Pulse at the top of retail shelves. The Reebok Insta Pump Fury Superlite brings together a heavily ventilated upper with a super-flexible sole for a runner that’s something like RBK’s version of the DiamondFLEX-soled Nike Hyperfuse Trainer. And this Bok’s colorways are every bit as eyecatching as the Hyperfuse series as well, with one pair in all metallic silver and another with a radioactive look courtesy of the OG Insta Pump palette. Check out shots fo both after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release. via Styles

Converse got in touch with four artists for its Converse (Paint The Town) RED Collection for Fall/Winter 2010, and the contrasting styles and methods resulted in four acutely different renditions of the same shoe. Parra, Giovanni Estevez, Aaron Martin, and Cody Hudson each had their hand in a pair of the Converse Chuck Taylor for the (Paint The Town) RED collection; Parra’s featured a beige suede upper with the cherries while Estevez got in touch with his hometown roots with a tonal-black stitched NYC skyline on the upper. Cody Hudson’s take on the (Paint The Town) RED theme was a lux brown leather upper with a navy blue toecap, and here we get a look at Aaron Martin’s pair which features cartoonized pandas on a black upper. Take a look at the entire Converse (Paint The Town) RED Collection after the jump and head to Hypebeast for a feature interview with Giovanni Estevez.

News of the Air Jordan VI/XVII Collezione Package was music to the ears as it gave Jordan-heads the opportunity to own a pair of the Air Jordan VI Carmine (a suede version of the Jordan XVII didn’t hurt either). We’d like to announce that the Carmine VI and the suede XVII is coming back together, but not in a way you might’ve expected. Here’s a Sneaker News Exclusive look at the Air Jordan 6-17-23 in Black, Carmine, and White; it features both pairs from the VI/XVII Collezione Package cross-hybridized into one shoe, with each Jordan model expressing co-dominance on the design of the shoe. Carmine red can be seen on the upper panels with black suede laid above as well as on the toe, with a white panel on the heel.
The silhouette of the shoe certainly takes after the Air Jordan VI parent but the XVII can bee seen on the midsole, which features the same midfoot plate, as well as on the upper vents and Jazz-inspired graphic on the tongue, which also features the corduroy-like ribbed fabric. A look at the bottom sole and you’ll see hints from both the Air Jordan VI given by the dotted translucent outsole and the Air Jordan XVII based on the golf-course inspired traction. Jordan Brand’s newest hybrid endeavor involves combining two Legacy models with number designations summing up to 23, and at this point the 6-17-23 looks to be the first of such releases – with the Carmine colorway arriving in February 2011. Continue reading for a gallery of images of the Air Jordan 6-17-23 and let us know what you think of the design. Many thanks to fatboykickz.
