There’s been a strong tropical influence of white, aqua, and bright orange for Air Max lately. Sneaker News first dropped an exclusive preview of a ‘Miami Dolphins’ Air Max 1, and there is in fact another Air 180 colorway that is oddly similar to these. However, it’s the materials that set these bad boys apart, as you can clearly see the use of perforated synthetic leather and a durable nylon upper with a grid-like pattern. A black-based pair of the Air 180 dropped recently (just like these – same materials), but if you prefer the pure white motif, check out these sick new trainers after the jump and pick up a pair now at Size?. Will these drop in the U.S.? That’s unlikely, but stick with Sneaker News and we’ll notify you if/when these do.

That’s not ‘Fools Gold’ you see on the tongue of Kazuki Kuarishi’s latest adidas Originals by Originals sneaker. Then again, we wouldn’t fault you if that came to mind while looking thereupon, at the face of the man who sang that song and for whom this sneaker is named. The Kazuki x adidas Originals ZXZ ‘Ian Brown’ celebrates Kuarishi’s friend, musician and former lead singer of seminal ’80s British rockers The Stone Roses. Click through to get a better look, let us know how these compare to Kazuki’s other reworked Three Stripes classics and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release. via Freshness

Nike recently debuted the Air Max 2011 flagship, but it appears that the Air Max 2010 isn’t ready to bow out just yet. Here’s a look at a new Black/White-Metallic Silver-Black colorway that features a leather material on the upper instead of the mesh seen in the original release. The Air Max 2009 also received a similar treatment; after the initial Flywire-mesh shell uppered varieties, Nike released a leather-uppered version for a sleeker, more lifestyle-ready appeal. What do you think of these leather-uppered Air Max 2010s? Check out the extra shots below and head to Nikestore if these are to your liking.

The Jordan Brand Takeover at Footaction in Culver City continued as Dwyane Wade (Agent D-3) and Kevin Hart (Specialist H) made a special visit to discuss the technical aspects and advantages of the Air Jordan 2011.

The latest fragment design x Nike Zoom All Court Low has arrived in the states for good; all three colorways feature basic white canvas uppers for that old-school country-club feel, with each pair using a different color in a supporting role. Basic touches like the midsole rim, colored tongue label, and solid-colored heel-tab is all you can expect for these collaborative releases, and if low-key and simple is your style, these should be a no-brainer. If you’ve been looking for these, you can hit up 21 Mercer, the Nike Sportswear shop in Lower Manhattan, to pick up any one of the three because they’ll have them all available tomorrow. Continue reading for a new set of images and don’t miss out these perfect Spring-time kicks.
