adidas indoor football styles have always been popular with casual sneaker fans, so when Three Stripes applied the Copa Mundial’s legendary silhouette with a new sole for Dennis Busenitz’ adidas Skate signature, an instant classic was born. Along these same lines, British artist C-Law reappropriated the Etrusco Capitano soccer cleat to create this new adidas Originals Etrusco lowtop. The latest pair comes in the lovely forest green and white combo that’s been one of adidas’ most popular colorways for years now and you can find them now at select retailers like CrookedTongues.

Supra’s summer of 2011 will forever be remembered as the year they went completely pack-happy, so should we take this latest release as an indication that the crown brand is going to keep it up as we move toward colder weather? The Supra Burgundy + Brown Set is appropriately earthy for the time of year when leaves start to lose their chlorophyll, a set of tonal suede skate kicks whose white vulcanized soles unite the burgundy and brown designs. Click through to see a variety of your favorites like the Supra Cuttler, Bandit and Society Low and get yours today from Supra or one of their retailers.

Whoa, Pearl Jam’s still aliiive!? It’s been over two decades since their debut album Ten sold roughly that many millions of copies and the Seattle natives continue to tour and sell out the world’s large arenas, so while they don’t get as much radio play as during grunge’s heyday, this is still very much a relevant band to many people. The band’s following is as rabid as any and given how devoted their fans, will there be enough Pearl Jam x Vans Sk8-His to go around? These two classic hightops capture the feel of the Pacific Northwest during the band’s early ’90s rise, one pair in black suede with plaid side panels and another in the classic Seattle Supersonics colors. Click through to see more images of both pairs and pick them up today from SNS.

The Nike Air Max Bandito came to life in 2007, but what a short life-span it had. If you’re not familiar with the Air Max Bandito, here’s a look at an unreleased sample colorway of this Spring 2007 release; you can quickly tell it draws inspiration from the Nike Air Max 95, featuring an Air Max unit and lacing structure similar to Sergio Lozada’s historic design. This brown/white colorway also utilizes hints of orange and green on the heel and upper with a bold-striped tongue label. We’ve got more images of this unreleased sample after the jump and if you’re interested in copping these, take a look at the auction from 2legit2quit78 on eBay.

In selecting the Sneaker News Blogs: Best of WDYWT, the staff does its best to gather the twenty best from the week focusing on diversity, great pictures, and the rarity factor. It just so happens that ‘basketball’ was a recurring theme for this week’s best picks, because we have some great basketball-born sneakers from beginning to end. We’ve got some great rare gems like the Air Bakin’ ‘Air’ edition, which was pulled from shelves, a HWC colorway of the LeBron VII, and the uber-rare Air Flightposite 1 Carbon Fiber. Even Hakeem Olajuwon makes an appearance, so check out the Top 20 below and vote for your favorite at the very end.

Say you were going to write a script for a basketball movie and you needed an ending for the ages. How about a guy singlehandedly ripping the hearts out of an entire state while his Top 50 teammate struggles to get up and down the court? There’s a good reason that despite the fact it was only worn in a handful of games, the Air Jordan XIV, and specifically the ‘Last Shot’ colorway is so strongly associated with Michael Jordan’s legacy of excellence. MJ’s ankle-break of Bryon Russell en route to a sixth ring is the kind of thing you wouldn’t even believe if it were on the silver screen, but here in a few months you’ll be able to put a tangible reminder right on your feet. Click through to see more angles of the ‘Last Shot’ Air Jordan 14s and if you can’t wait until the December release, grab a pair early from RMK.

The Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 has officially arrived, and we’ve already been treated to a handful of special colorways of this newest episode in the Nike Basketball saga. From the earth-shattering Blake Griffin PE’s to the New York inspired colorways, there has been no shortage of unique releases for these. Well add this ‘Lithuania’ colorway to that list, a sneaker being released in conjunction with the EuroBasket 2011 tournament taking place there right now. The colorway echoes the Lithuanian flag, utilizing the signature red, yellow, and green. Like the Air Jordan V Quai 54 before it, this tournament specific release will no doubt be getting rocked on the court during the event. Hit the jump for a full look at the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 ‘Lithuania’ and look for them on the feet of the Lithuanian squad.

Sometimes you just can’t get enough, can you? Check out this latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke creation designed by Jean Baptiste Salaun; it’s his third Bespoke to date (that’s roughly $2,500, folks), and he’s come up with quite the earthy, nature-inspired look, combining brown and grass green suede with khaki hemp and black waxed hemp on the toe-box. Whatever the true theme behind Salaun’s third Bespoke is only known to him and the Bespoke specialists over at 21 Mercer, but at the very least, the direction he chose is quite clear. Continue reading for a detailed gallery at this latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke and let us know what you think of the design.

Pictures of the hotly anticipated Nike SB Dunk High ‘Plum’ have been floating around for what seems like forever now, but it looks like they are finally making their way to Nike SB accounts. What immediately stands out on this pair of Dunks is the top-notch suede that wraps the upper in the tonal shades of daybreak and plum. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a colorway this clean with such great execution on the material selection, so hats off to Nike SB for this one. Rumors have these pinned as a Quickstrike release, so you may have to put in some work for the Nike SB Dunk High ‘Plum’, but judging by these latest photos it will be well worth it. Hit the jump for a full look at the Plums, which are beginning to pop up at spots like Premier.
