This new pair of the Nike Air Max 1 for the ladies features a basic Light Bone/Dark Army colorway that really can act as unisex colorway. Neutral colorways have a tendency to break sneaker gender barriers and there really isn’t anything outlandishly effeminate about these. This colorway does resemble the Air Max 1 ‘Try-On’ but without the speckling, of course. Instead, Dark Army employs the front quarter as well as the inner lining. These just dropped at Titolo and should hit other Nike Sportswear accounts soon, so take another look after the jump and for the male readers, let us know if you’d rock ‘em.

Classically inspired re-issues of Nike runners do quite well in the UK, like this white-based colorway of the Nike Air Classic BW. In what could have been a colorway taken straight from the original catalog, this combination of white, hot lime, and team royal blue is a prime example of the type of color-blocking employed by Nike during the early 90′s. The colors pop out effortlessly and the extra grey stripe along the mudguard adds the perfect touch to this great colorway. Sneaker News previewed this upcoming pair back in September but this new colorway of the Air Classic BW is available for purchase over at JDSports.

It’s official. The Dark Neon Royal Foamposite One (commonly referred to as the ‘Penny’) is slated to release soon, with a early Spring 2011 release date in the states. 2010 was an incredibly solid year for the Foamposite, but 2011 might have it beat based on the strength of the Penny Foams alone. Of course, there are the Metallic Pewter Foamposite Ones to look forward to as well as the Electric Green Foamposite Pro, but the OG colorway of the hottest Retro basketball shoe at the moment is definitely the most coveted and worth doubling-up on. This is the shoe the Penny Hardaway himself went gaga over, and even at a fourth re-issue, these will fly off the shelves. Take a look at a bunch of nice pics after the jump and get yours early now from MarqueeSole.

Silas Baxter-Neal has moved on up from the Campus Vulc to a new Pro Model with adidas Skate, going with a trail-runner inspiration. Baxter-Neal was involved with the design process of the shoe from head to toe, and considering this is a shoe to call his own, his participation was key. This new colorway of grey, aqua blue, and black, recently hit adidas Skate retailers but let’s take another look at the insole of the shoe, which features the friendly mask of Jason Voorhees‘ from the Friday the 13th horror series. A pretty nice touch with Halloween coming up in just two weekends. Take a look at the gallery and cop a pair from Flatspot.

British sneaker spot JD Sports gets more exclusive retro running colorways from Nike Sportswear than just about anywhere in the world.  Here’s a new Nike Air Max 95 that looks like it very easily could have been released here in the States, say, during late June/early July.  That’s the time of year for the annual Tour de France, and everything about these reminds you of Lance Armstrong’s LIVESTRONG capsule, from the black/yellow colorup to the fact that the accent shade is actually called ‘Tour Yellow’.  These aren’t a LAF-benefiting release, at least directly, but you can certainly enjoy the LIVESTRONG/Steelers/Wu-Tang colorway all the same, when you order from JD Sports.

Rob Zombie took his love of horror films and hard rock and translated that into one of the more distinctive metal bands of the ’90s in White Zombie.  They’re long gone now, and while Zombie’s solo career has continued unabated, its his love for B-grade grossouts and gags that’s kept him in the spotlight.  Likely better known these days for his excellent scary movies, Zombie hooked up with Vans to hash out a theme that’s ongoing in all his work: beautiful, evil women.  These Rob Zombie x Vans Sk8-His are perfectly timed for Halloween with their black and ghouly green uppers depecting the kind of girls who’d love to drag you to your grave.  Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for word on a US release, as Japan’s mischief is set to ship theirs tomorrow.

Is there a more appropriate name for Orlando Magic Center Dwight Howard than ‘Manchild’? Upon entering the league at the tender age of 18, Dwight Howard was a 6’11″ behemoth with biceps that would make David Robinson jealous and a wingspan wide enough that would let him high-five someone in the nose-bleed section. But at age twenty-five, with an NBA Finals appearance, a few All-Star starts, and a Defensive Player of the Year award, the ‘child’ no longer applies, because Dwight is just a grown man ready to put NBA Centers back into prominence and battle it out with Miami Heat for the top crown Eastern Conference. During his season-long journey, you might see Dwight Howard in the adidas TS Beast ‘Manchild’, a dark and mysterious colorway of his all-new signature shoe with adidas. It features a black suede upper with a special texturecenter panel and heel-cup. These just hit Schuh-You and should hit U.S. adidas Basketball retailers soon so take a look at the detailed images after the jump.

Sure, the fat tongue helps, but the classic materials combined with the undeniable colorway conjures up memories of the earlier Nike SB releases. Like the Un-Loden SB Dunk Lows or the Chromeballs that dropped not long ago, this new Dark Charcoal and Black colorway has that classic Nike SB look to it, does it not? Un-Vamps, perhaps? Take a look at the detailed shots of this new release and hit up Paul Rodriguez’s Primitive to pick up your pair.

Most of Asics’ collaborations, including Ronnie Fieg’s dope ‘Nice Kicks 2.0′, have been on their flagship retro runner, the Gel Lyte III.  Luckily that’s not a requirement, as French creative jacks of all trades Surface to Air picked up on Fieg’s tonal upper/white sole combo and translated it beautifully onto the Asics Gel DS Trainer 14.  This sleek, lightweight runner features a tonal black upper with meshes of various gauges and other synthetics atop a speckled white sole that has more than a taste of the Oreo vibe going on.  Click the jump below to see more photos, including S2A logos on the tongue, toebox and metallic eyelets.  You’ll probably catch these again on Sneaker News some time in the near future, with the release date scheduled concurrently with the Marathon de Paris on April 10, 2011.
