It’s been a while since we’ve detailed a new collection of footwear from ALIFE here on Sneaker News, but this spring 2011 collection simply demands attention. Let’s start off with the familiar models including the Dunk-like ALIFE Everybody in Low Suede, Mid Parachute and High ‘Official’ looks covering a variety of muted tones. There are high and low versions of the Chuck Indoor plus an outrageous version of the high Naval variant called ‘Posted’ for obvious reasons. The Northeastern is a new Oxford-style lowtop, the Moc takes the classic boat shoe design down to a zero-eyelet look and perhaps the star of this collection offers a mix of those two’s features, the hand-sewn, Vibram-soled Lincoln moccasin. It’s quite a run and you can see photos of selected colorways of each model when you click on the jump below, then look for these at select ALIFE retailers.

Its tongue pull appropriately styled as a throwback to evoke images of iconic Japanese sneakers, the Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka Free Motion ’3HC Pack’ brings together a number of avant garde design elements into one futuristic package. These joints are crafted in a unique neoprene that features tonal dots that suggest a cutting edge material like the Nike LeBron 8 V2, but these are more of an athletic-inspired lifestyle sneaker than true performance footwear. Then again, with the notoriously comfy asymmetrical lacing system and Free grooved outsoles, you could certainly sprint at top speed if in a pinch, so their neutral colorways combine to make for one of the most versatile sneakers in recent memory. Click through to see more of black and Faded Taupe pairs and look for ‘em right now at select Nike Sportswear dealers. via HB

Having seen teaser pics earlier this month, Sneaker News now has an update on the upcoming Kinetics-exclusive DJ Muro x adidas Originals collaboration. We can now confirm the two models in use for this Gucci-lookin’ duo and it’ll be variations of two of Three Stripes’ most popular heritage models, the Metro Attitude and Ultrastar. The former features an exaggerated tongue and logo a la Jeremy Scott’s collabos and the XL releases, while the Ultrastar features a luxurious quilted leather take on the world famous Shelltoe. Click through to see more and stick with Sneaker News for what’s sure to be one of the year’s hottest Japen-exclusive collaborative sneaker releases. via King Inc.

Its tagline ringing true with each new collaboration, Hanon “Keeps on Burning”, this time with a special edition pack of Puma Dallas lowtops. These joints are crafted in a mix of tonal suede and nubuck, their colorways inspired by ’80s sportswear with a shout out to the Scottish homeland via argyle sockliners and matching scarves. The burgundy and barley pairs will release exclusively at Hanon-Shop with only 50 and 100 pairs available, respectively, which seems to suggest the other two will receive a wider release. No matter which colorways you prefer, fans of special packaging might look to grab those two in the wooden, whiskey-style box, but either way, they’ll all hit stores this April and you can see more photos when you click on the link below.

Last year’s black Clot x Kazuki x adidas Originals kzkLOT Superstar 80s ‘Breathe’ held the title of most breathable shelltoes, but they’ll be forced to share the crown now with this new colorway slated to drop in the coming months. Check out the latest KZKLOT Superstar 80s, this time done in the green-on-white palette that worked so well for the Rod Laver signature among other Three Stripes heritage models. They’re done almost entirely in mesh for an airy and lightweight feel and readers lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time will find these available now at select adidas Originals retailers throughout Asia, plus the Number6 and Number74 flagships in London and Berlin, respectively.

Sneaker News brings you what matters. Since we’re in the March Madness mood, Sneaker News opened up the polls for the 2011 Sneaker News March Madness Tournament, throwing thirty-two OG Air Jordans in the fire in a battle for supremacy. The heat didn’t stop there, as Sneaker News gave you an inside look at the ShoeZeum, undoubtedly the greatest sneaker collection showcase in history. More Jordan news followed, with a look at a GS sample of the Air Jordan III ‘Stealth’ and a viewing othe Air Jordan 2011 Version 2. Carmelo Anthony made some notable news as he was honored in NYC with an oversized billboard, and LeBron got us excited as we brought some hints at the upcoming LeBron 9. There was plenty of NBA and NCAA action during the week, as we showed you what LeBron, Carmelo, and other big-time studs wore on the hardwood.
Outside of basketball, Sneaker News previewed some upcoming Nike SB releases, but the what truly caught our attention were two Nike Basketball retros in the Air Foamposite One in Black/Electric Green and Air Max Penny 1 in Ripstop Nylon. Going back to February, which was Black History Month, Sneaker News gave you a look at a special limited edition Black History Month box. Tomorrow, Sneaker Con NYC will open its doors for the first time in 2011, and you’d better believe it lives up to the hype. Some sad news came our way earlier this week, as the Eastern coast of Japan was ravaged by earthquake and tsunami, so we urge our readers to chip in and lend a hand. And finally, Sneaker News unveiled the seventeenth volume of Michael Jordan Through the Years, focusing on the life and times of Michael Jordan during the Air Jordan XVII. Don’t miss a beat in the world of kicks – Sneaker News Weekly Rewind has you covered.

Here’s a look at the final bracket of Round 1 of the Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament. Headlined by Number 1 seed Air Jordan IV in the Black/Red colorway, the Southeast Region of the OG Air Jordan Tournament is no slouch when it comes to going head-to-head with any other region. Just how strong is it? The Air Jordan VI ‘Carmine’ is a 3-seed, and that shoe has as much potential to win it all as any other sneaker in the tourney. The polls for the Southeast Region are now open, as are the rest of the regions for Round 1, so make sure you get your votes tallied in time. Remember, it’s you, the reader that selects the winner, so let your voice be heard (you’ve got ’til midnight Sunday)!

It’s hard not to have a pair of Nike Foamposites in your collection. With so many big-time releases to have arrived over the last year, it’d be tough to pass over every single one of them. If you preferred OG colorways like the Pearls or the recently released Royals, or embraced the funky nature of Foamposite and chose the Coppers or Electric Greens, the Nike Air Foamposite is the hot topic shoe at the moment. Tomorrow, the opportunity to stretch your Foam stash will arrive, because the Metallic Pewter/Black colorway of the Nike Air Foamposite One will officially release at Nike retailers. If you’re not yet convinced, give them a quick review after the jump and cop a pair now on eBay.

Would Nike SB retro some releases of the past? If they did begin such an endeavor, it would make sense to start with the earlier Season 1 releases, like the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Mulder’, which featured a basic White/Blue colorway. Well, no retros yet, but the Mulder colorway is brought back in the Nike SB Zoom Bruin, previewed on Sneaker News last September. Again, the simple colorway shines on the Zoom Bruin – arguably the most casual-looking shoe in the Nike SB roster – as Richard Mulder’s Nike SB legacy lives on in a different form. Flatspot has these available now for purchase so take a look after the jump and let us know what other classic Nike SB colorways you’d like to see on differing models.

If you caught last night’s feature of Sneaker News’ exploration of the ShoeZeum, you’d know that Jordan Geller, the mad curator behind the greatest sneaker showcase/exhibit ever created, has a special place in his heart for the Nike Air Pressure. The guy’s got two pairs! The Air Pressure might be too expensive for production today, so Nike twisted the original idea and released the Nike Air PR1 – a stripped down version of the Air Pressure – that featured no Pump module on the heel. This new white and neutral grey colorway leaves colorways to the imagination (as do all tonal-white sneakers), and perhaps would make a great base for a custom project. mita-sneakers has their pairs in now so take a look below and let us know what you think.
