In the six weeks or so since early April, Sneaker News has shown you four different pairs of Nike Blazers that feature side panel Swooshes made of perforations. The perfs in these Lows and Mids (two each) are so deep, they reveal your socks, and the motif will be revisited once more with the Nike Blazer Mid micro-perf Swoosh pack. They’re just like the grey/Volt and Ink/Filament Green pairs we’ve shown you in terms of color and material blocking, this new duo offering your choice of brown/white and yellow/black. Click through to see more and stick with Sneaker News for word on a possible US release; they just hit NikeStore China.

When you consider the range of classic adidas basketball sneakers, models like the Metro Attitude and Forum instantly come to mind. These ’80s classics have been remade in a wide variety of colorways and revisions, but don’t take that to mean they’re all the adidas Originals vaults have to offer. Check out these new adidas Instinct Mid RST releases, a pair of monochromatic suede getups that ride vulc soles for that perfect balance between old school basketball and casual skate-influenced lifestyle aesthetics. You can see more images of royal and teal pairs when you click on the jump below, then look for these at select Three Stripes retailers like BX Sports.

If we mentioned ‘shadow Vans’ without any context, regular Sneaker News readers would probably picture the Shadow Conpsiracy collaboration with Off the Wall we previewed a couple months back. That pack is still awaiting a release with no solid date set, but we do know with relative certainty that the Vans ‘Dark Shadow Pack’ releases pictured above will drop in Q3. Comprised of identically blocked Vans Half Cabs and Authentics, these mix a charcoal suede upper with black laces and soles to get a dark look that’s made more inviting thanks to its tonal depth. Click through to see both pairs and check back with us for word on the US release date. via FNG

What is the single best adidas Originals lifestyle sneaker design not borrowed from one of Three Stripes’ classic models? Since its debut last spring, many have answered that it’s the adidas Fortitude, a model that seamlessly melds rugged outdoor aesthetic traits with a smooth and satisfying lifestyle look. And though it’s not a direct sequel, the new adidas Originals Roundhouse is a fitting follow-up, almost like tossing the Fortitude into a Boggle chamber for a totally different arrangement, then adding a midfoot strap. The latest colorway to hit retailers is perfect for summer with a beachy tonal grey and teal look of which you can see more images after the jump, then grab a pair from FinishLine.

The Vans OTW Collection adds a premium twist to Off the Wall’s classic skate sensibility, but we haven’t seen all that many OTW releases so far in 2011. That will change starting in Q3 when the Vans OTW Decon Larkin hits store shelves, their sleek, slimmed-down uppers a blend between the Larkin model that debuted last summer with the streamlined Decon build first seen on Tommy Guerrero’s collabo with Vans Syndicate. Four different colorways will be available sometime after June 1st and you can see more images after the jump. via FNG.

Who says white sneakers are mandatory for the summer? Check out these sleek new colorways of the Jordan V.5 Grown Low, featuring leather uppers in Deep Burgundy and Obsidian. The Deep Burgundy colorway features a smooth, flat leather while the Obsidian uses the distressed variety to create a rustic appeal. The Jordan V.5 Grown Low is a perfect alternative to the classic top-sider boat shoe or even the ‘dress-sneaker’ when hitting the club, because the Grown V.5 Low has that versatility that few sneakers can achieve. Expect both to hit Jordan Brand retailers this July.

Sneaker News has shown you high-profile collaborations with Vans this week, but Hello Kitty and Supreme (x2) aren’t the only ones out there designing Off the Wall colorways. Check out this new run of Vans releases for summer, most of which are from their classic lineup. We’ll start with a trio of Vans Half Cabs in monochromatic canvas uppers plus black tongues, laces and other details. Next up is a quartet of Authentics in similarly simple styles, plus one more in a white/navy two-toned look. The monochromatics resume with three new Old Skool ’77s, with the rarely seen Sk8-Lo coming along in three of its own. Two Chukka Lows and a pair of Woessners from the OTW Collection round out this set, and you can see more images by clicking on the jump below before you grab a pair or two from select Vans retailers like Primitive.

The Air Jordan VII wasn’t as well received as past Jordan models by collectors and fans when they first released, but despite the objections, colorways such as the ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘Hare’ became instant classics. The Air Jordan VII ‘Cardinal’ is scheduled for a June 18th release and during the 1991-92 season, the ‘Cardinal’ VII was Jordan’s sneaker of choice and because of its Chicago Bulls color scheme, it was a perfect match for the home and away uniforms. Check out the additional images from Nike Harajuku after the jump, and if you can’t wait until the June release, you can find some early pairs already on eBay.

To help cheer on the Miami Heat during their road game in Chicago for Game 5, T-Mobile arranged a ‘Road Rally’ event with hip-hop artist Ludacris as one of the night’s performers. For his performance, Ludacris wore one of the rarest Air Jordans ever made – the Air Jordan XX3 Titanium. The Titanium Air Jordan XX3 released in January of 2008 in limited quantities, with just 529 pairs circulating in the United States – one of which is clearly in possession of the ATL-born star. Ludacris couldn’t pick a better time to break out the Titaniums because his efforts in the rally may have helped will the Miami Heat to that fourth-quarter comeback and an NBA Finals appearance! Check out Ludacris and the Air Jordan XX3 Titanium below and let us know what you think.

The Fall Season is typically one of the most important stretches of the year, as sneakerheads pile up in stores to stock up on fresh sneakers for the new school year. We all know how important it is to walk into class on the first day of school wearing the cleanest, crispest pair of sneakers (save the beaters for a rainy day), and Jordan Brand has one big-time release waiting for us in the month of September. The Air Jordan III Stealth is set to release this September with a retail price of $150 (apparently the new Jordan Retro standard price – for now); you can count on these flying off the shelves once they hit because almost all Air Jordan III releases do. Check out these new pictures from Osneaker and if you want to get ahead of the game, pick up a pair right now on eBay.
