The Nike Air Max 90 has been available for customization on NIKEiD quite a few times since the online build-your-own service launched back in 1999, but we’ve never had the chance to tinker with one quite like this. The Air Max 90 Hyperfuse is now available for you to color up on the Swoosh’s 1 of 1 builder and the lack of material choices means you can focus entirely on crafting the perfect palette. The sample pairs we have to show you here today are high-contrast if a bit tame, so click through to see some of the possibilities and let us know how yours turned out.

Much of Vans’ footwear catalog is comprised of classic models born in the brand’s early days, so you could argue that almost anything they put out has a vintage feel to it. So to really get point across with the Vans Vault Vintage Pack, Off the Wall chose to adorn two of its favorite lowtops in a rich tumbled leather that insinuates careful aging. The Vans Vault Mid Skool ’77 and 46 LX will both drop soon in black/yellow and burgundy/white colorways, so click through to see images of each pair and stick with Sneaker News for word on their availability. via FNG

adidas garnered a bunch of attention this summer with their Crazy Light basketball sneaker. At 9.8 oz, it’s the lightest basketball shoe on the market, but this has proved an opportunity for rivals to attack the model, citing its relative lack of ankle support. But in the spirit of ‘any is good’ with regard to publicity, the Brand With the Three Stripes is doing anything but backing down, their adidas Stupidly Light a slap to the face of smacktalkers. These joints feature a similarly slight, heavily ventilated upper design, and they’re now available in a wide array of team-oriented colorways at Eastbay.

The University of Texas at Austin made history last week when it became the first Big 12 school to start its own cable TV station. The only catch with the Longhorn Network is that, until it was picked up by Verizon FiOS on Monday morning, the channel was broadcasting to literally no one. FiOS’ relatively sparse availability suggests we might end up seeing more burnt orange on the new Nice Kicks x adidas Originals Campus ’80s ‘Game Day’ than the average plasma screen. From the name to the colorway, these joints are a representation of the significance of pigskin in the Lone Star state, and marks the first time the Austin-based blog has offered their own exclusive collaborative sneaker. Click through for more images and stick with Sneaker News for more details including the release date.

Regular Sneaker News readers know by now that Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design label has quite a few collaborations with Nike Sportswear slated to release later this year. One model in particular has garnered quite a bit of attention, as we’ll see fragment design x Nike Zoom All Court 2 Low releases in three different packs including one teamup with Supreme. The above pictured pair is the antithesis of those brand-patterned drops, navy and white canvas lowtops featuring next to no logos and a pristine white vulc sole. Click on the jump below so you can see more images and expect these at select NSW retailers on Saturday, September 10th.

Wing-tip detailing provides instant transformation for any piece of footwear, adding a splash of personality to plain ‘ol dress shoes and sneakers. For the Janoski – the unofficial Nike SB ‘dress shoe’ – it adds plenty of character, the detailed perforations and stitching sends it to another level, and based on the widely positive review from the first preview of the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid ‘Brogue’, it’s a personality that we can all get along with. While a release date hasn’t been set for these just yet (although a preliminary Holiday 2011 Below The Line release is what’s rumored for these), these are certainly one of the more anticipated Nike SBs for the remainder of the year. We’ve get an extra set of images below so take a peek and pick up this size 9 sample from anonymousbrokehead on eBay.

Over the weekend, we showed you Dwyane Wade and his new PE colorway of the Jordan Fly Wade that he wore to his Youth Summit, part of his Wade’s World charity. He swapped his t-shirt and basketball shorts for some jeans and a pair of the Air Jordan V ‘Wolf Grey’ to adress the event-goers during the Saturday-morning event, which took place at the UIC Pavilion. Dwyane Wade was joined by Gabrielle Union, David Banner, Udonis Haslem, Lance Gross, and other notable guests. Check out D-Wade in the Wolf Grey Vs after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Celebrity Feet features!

At long last, the good old US of A finally gets its turn to shine with the fourth and final installment of the Packer Shoes x Reebok Court Victory Pump ‘Grand Slam Pack.’ Last, but not least, the U.S. Open edition is coming your way, just in time for the weekend and this year’s tennis madness out in Flushing, Queens. The U.S. Open Pump not only sports the solid blue of the U.S. Open court, but also flaunts a full 3M upper to celebrate the bright lights and flashing cameras of NYC. Additional hits of tennis ball neon and a special ‘QUEENS NY’ insole finish off the design, but there’s still more in store with this release. Joining the shoes will be a shirt and sticker set featuring Kramer, the “ball man” from the classic U.S. Open episode of Seinfeld. A great tie-in with the Seinfeld theme, the shirt is a clever collaboration between Vandal-A and Packer Shoes, with Kramer now rocking what else, but the U.S. Open Pumps. The shirt along with stickers will be packaged with the Pumps and made available for purchase this Thursday, September 1st, in-store at Packer Shoes, as well as through their online shop.

Last week, Sneaker News teased you with images of a grey sneaker with gold print celebrating the 10th anniversary of the adidas store in Berlin. The adidas Originals ‘Made for Berlin’ pack was a mystery that had to be resolved shortly with the September 10th date right around the corner, so here’s a more revealing look at the adidas Originals ZX 9000 designed for the occasion. They’re crafted in tonal grey canvas and suede for that classic appeal retro running fans can’t get enough of and are joined by a color complimenting jacket. The lining of this lightweight shell alludes to the possibility that we’ll see similar celebrations for the Tokyo and New York locations, but for now just click through to see the Berlin joints and stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Are we looking at this generation’s Air Magma? The Nike ACG Zoom Meriwether certainly hearkens back to one of All Conditions Gear’s all-timers thanks to a sueded upper devoid of extraneous stitching and additions, though these three colorways have been cast in velvety nubuck and smooth leather rather than the Magma’s signature ultra-nappy suede. And while there’s no denying the Magma’s classic status, the Zoom Meriwether makes a compelling argument to be the leader of the new school, a medial zipper adding a little extra punch in addition to the new colorblocking options afforded by that area’s leather wraparound and the beefy TrailFrame sole. Click through to see three upcoming colorways and stick with Sneaker News for more including their US release dates. via SF
