Ronnie Fieg just released a fiery foursome of Converse Star Player collaborations and now one of the One Star’s originals design contributors has offered his take on the classic hightop design. Have a look at this new John Varvatos x Converse Star Player, a model similar to Fieg’s set in its use of a monochromatic leather upper plus tonal laces. But Varvatos’ choice of an all-over perforated vamp plus white sole sets them apart from not only Ronnie’s selections but also John’s own historically pre-vintaged looks. Click through to see more and stick with Sneaker News for word on a possible US release date; Streething says they just hit Singapore.

Nike’s presence in the Pacific Northwest is so strong that we often use the metonym ‘Beaverton’ to refer to the Swoosh, but did you know that the Brand with the Three Stripes also has its US headquarters in Oregon? And while you might assume this model is an allusion to their Portland home base, the adidas Oregon 10 is actually an update of a running shoe that first released all the way back in 1982. This latest trio of colorways runs the spectrum from conservative to eye-catching with black/white on one end, white/red/black in the middle and an intense multicolor look on the other. Each model offers its own take on the classic Dellinger web, this diamond pattern ‘fading’ from forefoot to heel across the adiPRENE-cushioned soles. Click through to get a better look at each pair and check for these at select adidas Originals retailrs like Caliroots.

The adidas MEGA Collection was designed to celebrate classic Three Stripes models and show how their performance capacities are still relevant to this day, and perhaps on no model is this better demonstrated than the adidas MEGA SoftCell RL. These joints combine the SoftCell cushioning tech that debuted in the ’80s with the new Run Lite upper construction to create a superb choice for either lifestyle or running purposes, this black and yellow colorway also quite a head-turner.

Nike Sportswear continues to expand its old school running options, this model a cult favorite since being more or less overlooked after its mid-’80s debut. The Lunar Venture update released in late 2010 to foreshadow the V-Series retro collection and now the Nike Air Venture is back in a new colorway that could have just as easily released at any point along the Swoosh’s history. This simple white and Sport Red palette adds grey and black accents for a look so classic you can see its signature perforations as equal parts Alpha Project and brogue-style embellishment. Classic runners like these have become a default for lifestyle purposes and while they’re not exactly ‘formal’, these are a suitable match to a wide variety of summer outfits and they’re available now from select NSW retailers like Caliroots.

Asics’ flagship runner, the Gel Kayano is on its 17th (!) release this year, but the brand’s most popular retro model reached its peak three years in. The Asics Gel Lyte III is one of those quirky classic designs that deserves to see a million colorways, its split tongue and triple-density cushioning system having carved out a distinct niche over the years. Pictured above are two new drops for the spring season, one that offers an un-OG look with its tonal green-on-white look plus another that offers a vague nod to a model that released the same year as the original GLIIIs, the ‘Infrared’ Nike Air Max 90. These popped up at a few locations last month but if you missed your chance to grab one check out the stock currently available from CrookedTongues.

Now that we’ve had our first good looks at the Air Yeezy 2, the hysteria has officially begun.

Here we get a look at some new backstage pics from before and after his Coachella performance, including a shot of Mr. West wearing the Yeezy 2 standing side by side with Ibn Jasper sporting a black pair of the original Yeezy’s. The first of many comparison shots to come, check out a better look after the jump and stay tuned for all the latest pics and info on the Kanye West x Nike Air Yeezy 2. via LRG

LeBron James just rocked the Black/Sport Red-White colorway of the Nike LeBron 8 P.S. last night during Game 3 of the Heat/Sixers series, and so far, the LeBron 8 P.S. has been serving LRJ pretty well. A quick 3-0 lead in the series while averaging around 25 points, 6 assists, 12 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block per contest, Jason Petrie’s P.S. design has LeBron on the right track. Here’s another detailed look at the Nike LeBron 8 P.S. in the ‘Away’ colorway; it features a colorway similar to that ‘Portland Game’ PE of the LeBron 8 V2, with the black upper, white-bordered swoosh in red, white outsole, and red Max Air unit. These are set for a release on May 13th, a date LeBron and the Heat will likely live to experience. Check out the new detailed images below and let us know what you think. via IST.

The Air Jordan 60+ was introduced in 2009 as a multi-Air Jordan hybrid that paid tribute to Michael 60+ point performances. Jordan Brand also followed that up with the Air Jordan VII Defining Moments Package, a set of two Air Jordan VII colorways that also represented Michael’s 60+ point outing against Orlando in January of ’93. Here’s a look at an unreleased sample colorway of the Air Jordan 60+ in the ‘Hare’ colorway; it features the two-toned upper of white and soft beige with the red/white/green tongue seen on the Hare VII. These were slated for a released in late 2009, but were scrapped in favor of other Air Jordan releases of that season – notably the Air Jordan XI Space Jam. Certainly one of the more intriguing 60+ colorways to fall in front of our eyes, so check out the extra images below and check out the final price of these samples from identitiesrevealed on eBay.

Last September Nike Sportswear collaborated with SneakersBR, the premier sneaker website in Brazil, to release a limited edition set of the Nike Dunk Low using a tonal-upper theme and white midsole/outsoles. Jeff Staple, himself no stranger to great sneaker collaborations (ahem, Pigeons), recently took a trip out to Sao Paulo and met up with the SneakersBR crew, and was presented with a gift – a 1 of 12 SneakersBR x Nike Dunk Low in Green/White. The shoes are Brazilian made and come packaged with four sets of laces, a registration card, a custom t-shirt, custom insoles, and a special carrying case, and we now get a look at these extra details thanks to Jeff. Check out the additional shots below and let us know what you think.
