The field of competitors was chopped in half as the 2011 NCAA March Madness Tournament continued forward into the second overall round of games. If you caught our recap of Round 1, you’d be well aware that players across the nation were rocking some sick heat! This round of games was no different as we saw some more Air Jordan, Nike, and adidas gems sprinkled around all the big games. San Diego State University, previously featured in our NCAA Feet: Toe-to-Toe features, boasted a two colorways of the Air Jordan XIVs and some Black/Red Air Jordan XIs, and the Washington Huskies did their thing with Space Jams and Playoff XIIs. 12-seed Richmond, who will face Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen, emerged as a sneaker Cinderella with some Air Jordan IXs, Air Jordan XIIIs, and Kobe Vs. How about Bernard James of FSU rocking Metallic Pewter Foamposite Ones? There’s plenty more to see so check out all the kicks from the weekend’s games, and stay tuned to Sneaker News for continuing coverage of the 2011 NCAA March Madness Tournament! via Yahoo!.

Nike is slowly opening its games for the release of the Nike Zoom Huarache TR Low, starting with the EA Sports special edition as well as a recently released black/white colorway. Here’s a look at a colorway that you can expect to release; this white/blue/volt colorway is similar to the original colorway of the Nike Air Huarache Runner, which featured a white upper with neon green and blue secondary color-blocking. Other differences between the OG version and the 2011 release is the cushioning; Zoom Air is used as the primary source of cushion response for the Huarache TR Low. Check the detailed images of this possible upcoming colorway, and if you’re a size 9 and need these new, hit up the auction from cigar0330 on eBay.

“Un-Grinch” Dunk Highs? Here’s a look at the Euro-Exclusive Nike Dunk High featuring a Hot Lime swoosh and outsole with a two-toned grey upper with a reptilian print. This type of print has been done on the Nike Dunk High plenty of times, but the vibrant nature of Hot Lime only reminds you of the late-December Quickstrike release of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI. These opt for more of a toned down look (then again, anything juxtaposed with the Grinch Kobe VI looks toned down) using the luxurious faux-snake material on the upper panels with cool grey nubuck on the alternating sections. These will be exclusive to European Foot Locker locations so check ‘em below after the jump and let us know what you think.

Say you’ve had a nice jog in the HTM x Nike Runboot; what kind of footwear might you choose to give your feet some fresh air but still keep em safe from the harsh ground? Check out these new colorways of the Nike Solar Soft sandal, a molded design whose shotgun perfs are sure to draw comparison to the ubiquitous Crocs slip-ons. If these joints seem a bit different than the designs we saw last year, it’s thanks to these new high-contrast palettes that add white Swooshes to the otherwise monochromatic uppers plus a black Lunar sole to finish off the polarized look. Click through to see more of the red, royal black and pink pairs and let us know which one(s) you’d grab if they ever hit retail here in the US. via Tenisfuki

Superstar fashion designer John Varvatos has been collaborating with Converse for years and his latest offerings breathe new air into a model born in 1918 via some ’77-style punk embellishments. Check out the latest run of John Varvatos x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star hightops, two canvas models that add pointy studs to enhance their rugged pre-worn look. A black/grey striped edition goes with conical studding while the black pair comes with a wax coating that makes it look a bit like leather, a fitting match for the heavy metal-leaning pyrimidal studs. Click through to see close-ups of both pairs and let us know which one you plan to cop when they hit select US One Star retailers soon. via ST

He has a CONS signature on the way for fall, but as is made clear by the inner tongue tag of the latest ‘Black Flag’ Converse Star Player Skate XLT, this “colorway [was] inspired by Kenny Anderson.” A suitable holdover till the KA-One hits retail in Q3, this new Star Player Skate is as smooth as Anderson’s street skills, a simple black and white palette that adds a bright blue foxing band to give the shoe a vague Orlando Magic feel. But there’s no slight of hand here, just old school looks with modern tech touches and they’re arriving at select CONS skate retailers even as you read this. via CT

The latest model to get the 3D Ultralite upgrade is the Reebok Ex-O-Fit. This strappy sneaker created in the ’80s as aerobics footwear is back in its single-strapped form and we’ve got to assume this is the single lightest pair ever in the series’ history. That’s thanks to a combination of the aforementioned featherlight sole and a nubuck and mesh upper that’s breathable enough to make their tonal black blocking bearable for the warm weather months. Click through to get a better look at the Ultralite Ex-O-Fit and expect these at stateside RBK retailers soon; they just hit Japanese e-tailer FLAUGE.

Puma’s Urban Mobility collection has bridged the gap between the lifestyle sneaker boom here in the States and the German Cat’s sleek Euro stylings and now one of its original models will receive a chopped off redux. Check out the new Puma Urban Glide Low, an ankle-height edition of Hussein Chayalan’s smooth design that’s right up there with the best lifestyle designs we’ve seen in recent months. Both pairs offer their best Clyde imitation in buttery soft leather with subtle alterations in the finish to suggest a distinct eye-placket and Formstripe. Click through to get a better look at black and white pairs and stick with Sneaker News for word on their US release date. via Kenlu
