Here’s another dope colorway of the Nike ACG Lunar MacLeay set to drop as part of the All Conditions Gear spring 2011 collection.  As with the Pecan/Wineberry joints we showed you Tuesday, these rely on a neutral, tonal upper of mostly nubuck, with a bright sockliner giving the shoe its pop.  But this pair of Lunar MacLeay+es adds further brightness with yellow laces that give way to the orange liner, resulting in a feel that’s akin to the dying embers in a pile of ashes.  Sounds depressing but looks beautiful, and you can get a better view at more photos after the jump. via Flauge.

So far in a little under a year of releases, the Nike WMNS Air Feather High has always dropped in simple two and three-toned colorways, yet every pair makes a strong impression.  Check out this latest act of alchemy from Nike Sportswear, a pack of white-soled Air Feathers that both feature entirely metallic leather uppers.  But instead of a flat sheen, these joints offer a distressed look on the toe and side panel for a subtle contrast.  Strange to say a calf-high metallic sneaker is ‘subtle’, but that’s exactly the kind of attention to detail that keeps NSW at the front of the lifestyle sneaker game.  Check out more after the jump and look for these in the US soon; they just hit Juice in Taiwan.

Jordan Brand’s got a ton of tricks up its sleeve – one of them being the slick Jordan Prime 5 – a hybrid fusion of the Air Jordan Alpha 1 and Air Jordan V. Sneaker already showed you sample colorways of this upcoming release, but here’s a look at the Prime 5 featuring a Lasered upper in black and varsity red. The collage of graphics is a tribute to the Air Jordan Legacy as the roman numerals that number the Air Jordan Legacy – and if you think you’ve seen it before, look back at the Air Jordan 2010 3M Laser Sample that we showed you in November. You can expect this to drop in the coming months so take another look after the jump and let us know what you think. via modernotoriety.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but probably not the best Christmas gift for kids.  If your little ones are sneakerheads, maybe this ‘Tiffany’-leaning Nike Air Force 1 Low would do the be a suitable substitute.  You can’t deny their colorway makes a nod toward Diamond Supply Co.’s signature Nike SB collaboration, but these AF1s get their sparkles from speckled laces and shiny patent leather on the toe and eyelets, plus a more pearlized finish on the heel tab.  It’s a look that’s sure to have plenty of ladies interested, so sizes up to 6.5 (US womens eight) will likely sell quickly.  Click below to get a better look at how many different materials come together on this two-toned AF1 and grab your pair today from SneakersNStuff.

We saw a pair of these in black, so it’s only right to find another Nike All Court Leather release right at the end of 2010 in the other ‘color’ that dominated the year.  Grey’s almost doesn’t count but it’s indespensible as a colorblocking choice cos it’s so darn versatile.  It’s often used to bring balance to otherwise harsh contrasts and the same effect can be achieved when you use these simple microperfed All Courts as the anchor to an otherwise ostentatious getup.  Or just put colorful laces in em for your own twist, but whatever you do, you gotta grab a pair first and FinishLine has you covered.

The vibrant-colored uppers, which are constructed from a wide array of materials like mesh, leather, and suede, are matched with concrete-like speckled midsoles. This outdoor-friendly duet of new colorways could be the Reebok counterpart of the Nike Air Huarache ACG Mowabb Pack that released a couple of years ago so don’t miss out on these once they drop. Take a look at both colorways after the jump and let us know what you think. via Provider.

Like the brand’s retail spaces before it, the HUF footwear collection continues to grow and expand, adding this new lowtop to the spring 2011 drop.  The HUF 278 is kinda like an adidas Stan Smith plus a swooping suede toebox and metal eyelets.  They’re brass on each pair from this first set, a classy look that works well with tonal suede/nubuck uppers in grey, black or navy.  Finish ‘em off with the circle H logo and these joints will be good to go early next year at select HUF retailers.  How do they compare to the other kicks we’ve seen from Keith Hufnagel’s brand? via GLLTN.

Gerald Wallace has shown up in our NBA Feet column rocking a variety of dope Air Jordan PEs this season and the Charlotte Bobcats palette affords G-Dub a ton of sick colorways.  Check out this one, an Air Jordan Six Rings PE that Wallace wore in an NBA game, presumably away judging from the nearly all-black colorup.  Black patent, nylon and leather offer a nice tonal depth and select orange accents help finish off the ‘#3′ personalized look.  Check out more shots by clicking on the jump below and Bobcats fans can pick up a pair of this high-flyer’s autographed kicks for a limited time from happybuyers11 on eBay.

Of the colors we typically associate with the Air Jordan Legacy, University Blue isn’t the closest match to Dark Neon Royal.  But the UNC shade’s role as fundamental to Michael Jordan’s career is similar to the latter’s status as first ever Foamposite, so it was only natural to see a Foamposite-like Air Jordan redux come along in this colorway.  The Air Jordan 1 Anodized looks great with Carolina blue ‘armor’ and the black accents make for a cooler-than-cool look that’s perfect for the winter months.  The shape of a legendary basketball sneaker cast in the material of another, the latest AJ1 Anodized is available now from StepToRun on eBay.

The Nike Air Attack Pack of 2010 featured a barrage of sick new colorways on a wide collection of Air-cushioned Nike silhouettes. Of course the Air Max 90 would be included, as it is regarded by some as the greatest Air Max design in history. One of the five colorways that released as part of that pack was a black/grey pair that gave off a faux-denim look – and this upcoming Spring 2011 Air Max 90 release achieves the same. The upper is fashioned with a canvas-like material but the difference between this version and the Air Attack rendition is the red trim on the Air Max badge on the upper as well as on the Air Unit, and a black outsole instead of the crisp white. You can expect this second go-around of faux-denim in Spring 2011, so take an extra look after the jump and let us know what you think.

Is the Bedford Vans’ favorite model from their recently launched OTW Collection?  You’d be up against a tough task getting hard data for that one but the Vans Bedford remains the first and only OTW drop to see a collaborative release.  And like the In4mation collabo, one of the new Bedfords for spring 2011 features a simple two-toned upper.  The other three have more of a ‘pack’-like feel to them thanks to each pair adding woven nylon beneath a largely monochromatic suede upper.  Check out black, gold and navy pairs after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Vans OTW sneakers. via FnG.
