A Nike, Inc. color more popular in the mid ’00s, Jade Stone has been conspicuously absent from notable releases over the past few years. It’s highly ironic, too, given the variety of Chinese Jade colorways we’ve seen in recent months, not to mention how nicely this muted green shade would look in all manner of subtle colorways. Luckily, it’s not to late to manifest the latter of those, and Nike SB’s newest Vulc Rod release makes the most of it by centering the green canvas in a field of charcoal grey suede for another one of those models you can pair with practically any wardrobe options. Click through to see more angles and get yours from a Nike SB retailer like Flatspot.

adidas has been a German staple since adi Dassler founded The Brand with the Three Stripes all the way back in 1924, but it took another seventy-seven years for a flagship store to open in their homeland. So now as we approach the 10th anniversary of the first adidas flagship in Berlin-Mitte, it’s only natural to expect some special releases to commemorate the occasion. We can’t tell exactly what silhouette is pictured here, but the adidas Originals ‘Made for Berlin’ Pack bears the signs of a hot release, premium materials and special packaging about all you can clearly discern from these teaser images. These will release on September 10th at an in-store ‘flea market’ event, so click through to see more and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via HS

The Jordan B2B will be introduced this September as a trail-ready lifestyle-inspired shoe adopting some design cues from more recent Jordan Brand releases. It features a the forefoot strap seen in earlier releases like the Jordan Evolution ’85, the stitched seams seen in the Jordan CP3.IV, and the perforated breathable upper on the ankle and tongue seen on some upcoming Jordan releases. The upper features a diagonal checkerboard stitching with roped work-boot style laces for even more of a ‘trail’ feel. Expect both colorways to drop this September 10th at an MSRP of $115 so check out both below and let us know what you think.

There isn’t really anyone out there who can match Jeremy Scott’s mix of outrageous appeal and name recognition, but Puma has indeed found their own fashion forward collaborator. And we’re not talking about the brand’s creative director Hussein Chalayan, but rather, Japanese fashion designer Mihara Yasuhiro, whose Puma MY-56 can be seen to borrow a silo from the classic Clyde lowtop. But that’s where the familiarity ends, this pair’s unique bubble insets unlike pretty much anything that’s currently on the market. Click through to see more angles and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release date. via zozo.

Don’t want to mess up your new kicks in inclement weather? Jordan Brand‘s ‘Winterized’ Collection allows you to rock your kicks in rain, snow, and slush without having to worry, and these upcoming September and October releases of the Jordan Flight 45 TRK should give you enough options to stay fresh during the colder months. The Jordan Flight 45 TRK takes the Flight 45 silhouette and gives it a top-to-bottom weather-proof armor, using rugged nylon materials, anti-climate materials, and a boot-like outsole. Expect four colorways to drop in upcoming months, starting with a Black/Vivid Pink colorway this September. We’ve got extra images of all four after the jump so take a peek and let us know what you think.

It would take some real dedication to go back over the summer and determine the actual number of packs Supra has released in the past few months. In actuality, it’d probably be as simple as navigating to the ‘Supra’ category there on our left sidebar, but you’d still have to spend several minutes clicking ‘Next Page’ because there are just so many of them. A few recent standouts have just arrived at Michigan’s top skateshop, the navy/white Supra Skytop III joined by the Avenger and Thunder from the Burgundy and Brown Sets, respectively, on the shelves at Premier.

The Jordan CMFT Series was intended to offer a new line of sneakers intended for the comfort/lifestyle category, combining Nike’s historic Air Max technology with some of the most memorable Air Jordan models in history. The Jordan City Air Max TRK adds another sub-level to the Jordan CMFT Series, utilizing the full-length Air Max 97-inspired cushioning unit (seen on the CMFT 12 and CMFT 10) while adding an all-new upper design, which features luxurious black leather and detailed perforations with weather-ready rip-stop nylon on the upper panel. The inner lining also features a unique graphic, and the roped work-boot style laces gives the lifestyle-inspired City Air Max just enough hints of rugged capability for a versatile nature not seen in many other lifestyle sneakers. Check out the extra images below and watch for a debut this September 14th.

In its lifespan we’ve seen the Nike SB P-Rod borrow quite a bit from Nike SB’s more celebrated sneakers. We’ve seen this sneaker appropriate the colorways of the Tiffany, Pigeon, and Cali SB Dunks, but at some point you want to see a sneaker strike out and make a mark with its own unique colorways. This just released Nike SB P-Rod 2.5 might do the trick, coming in a deep team red that takes over the upper with a smooth suede. A burnt shade of yellow gives it some pop on the swoosh and the bits of accenting, keeping them from a monochrome fate. Also not to be missed is the graphic details on the insole, just another small feature that makes this P-Rod 2.5 special. Continue reading for a full look and if you need a pair of these then Premier has you covered.

The Air Jordan Legacy embraced non-conventional sneaker design by introducing a number of ‘foreign’ materials like 3M-reflective material (made famous by the Air Jordan V) and patent leather (immortalized by the Air Jordan XI). Another unique material that has become popular across the board for Nike and Jordan Brand is carbon fiber, which also debuted on the Air Jordan XI in the form of a midfoot spring plate that gave Michael an added ‘umph’ in flight. We’ve seen full-3M and full Patent Leather Jordan 6 Rings releases, but this September 17th, we’ll see a full-Carbon Fiber version of the hybrid shoe, taking on a tonal black upper with grey and white accents (a similar combo to a Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11 that dropped earlier this year). Check out the official Jordan Brand images below and let us know what you think of the upcoming Jordan 6 Rings Carbon Fiber.

The summer vacation is coming to a close, and the final Sneaker News Weekly Rewind of the month of August wraps up a great summer vacation with some great news from the past week. There’s a lot to look forward to as September and the Holiday season rolls around, so let’s take a look at what popped up on Sneaker News this week. We got another look at the Air Jordan IV White/Grey 2012 release as well as the Air Jordan 2011 Q Flight ‘Year of the Rabbit’. The Miami Nights LeBron 8 V/2 Low has been confirmed for a U.S. release, and another 3-D colorway of the Zoom Kobe VI will hit stores as well. We brought another look at Todd Bratrud’s Nike SB Dunk High ‘Cigar’ as well as a first look at the Air Force 1 E Possivel – a Brazil-exclusive. The OG colorways of the Air Trainer SC II High will also drop next week, and we finally got a detailed look at the Air Max Griffey Fury.
Celebrities were a notable trend this week as newlyweds Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian were spotted in LAX, and Fabolous threw a ‘Bottles & Js’ BBQ in his backyard. Sneakers have the most unique of origins, and luckily we got to read up on 30 of the most interesting sneaker inspirations in history. Nike Training just dropped the Rivalry Pack, consisting of Oregon, Boise State, and Georgia colorways of the Trainer 1.3 Max, and Supra unveiled the Thriller Pack, paying tribute to the King of Pop’s popular music video. In collabs, Japanese rockers Mighty Crown partnered up with NSW for a Premium Dunk High, and Jeremy Scott unveiled a new Forum Hi (no wings or bears). Finally, Sneaker News launched the Nike Air Max 1 iD Design Contest, where 1 of 100 entrants would win a free pair of iDs.
