Although they’ve got the David Beckham branding, you don’t have to be a soccer hooligan to enjoy this collection from adidas Originals. The ongoing project (which also features James Bond of Undefeated fame) has been cranking out some nice styles for a minute now and we’ve got two more pairs here to add to that list. The Doley Lux lives up to its name, opting for a sleek set of materials that is a notch above your run of the mill release. Between the raw hide laces, the thick mesh of the tongue, and the perforated three-stripes, this is a look from adidas Originals that you don’t see everyday. Plus, you can’t argue that David Beckham doesn’t know a thing or two about kicks. Zing! Hit the jump to check out both pairs, which are waiting for you at Size?.

When you command the kind of attention that Paul Rodriguez does in the skateboarding world, you get the benefit of putting your hands on a couple different signature models instead of sticking to a single sneaker. So while the P-Rod V gets the futuristic Lunar treatment for the sole kit, Mr. Rodriguez still gets to rep that OG skate style with a vulcanized sole, manifested here in the Nike SB V-Rod. This Spring 2012 colorway features an organic green coming in a nice suede, with a black leather swoosh for a bit of contrast. Check out a full view of this upcoming V-Rod and stick with us for release info. via N-SB

Hussein Chalayan rose to prominence with some of the craziest dress designs this world has ever seen, but since taking on the role of Puma’s creative director, he’s offered some conspicuously subtle designs. The latest in this collection is the Hussein Chalayan x Puma Gravity Low, a sleek lowtop whose classic running silhouette brings to mind images of the Reebok Classic series. Tonal black, grey and navy colorways hide their Formstripes and add just a hint of the designer’s influence on the heel, and you can see images of all three pairs when you click on the jump below. via HS

Vans Vault was launched about six years ago and has become synonymous with premium takes on classic Off the Wall silhouettes. The latest release certainly fits the bill, the Vans Sk8-Hi an all-timer and the above pictured pair adorned in a buttery smooth calfskin leather. This is the kind of sneaker that you could sneak in as a dress shoe, and the way things are going, we wouldn’t be surprised if in 50 years, we look back and see that models like this became the new upscale default somewhere along the line. Click through to get a better senseof just how finely constrcted these really are and look for them at Vans Vault retailers like Foot Patrol.

Jordan Brand’s latest lifestyle sneaker design features the same naming convention and Elephant print outsole as the rest of the series, but the Jordan V.9 Grown is a departure in the sense that it’s the first Grown based on an Air Jordan Legacy model. Their closest match is to the Air Jordan II thanks to the ridged heel, though one could also see the AJIX in the two-piece vamp. Click through to see more angles on this Velvet Brown pair, let us know how they compare to some of JB’s best lifestyle kicks and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via Dunk

This year has been a big one for sneakerheads, and much of that can be attributed to the fact that Jordan Brand’s release calender has been packing more threes than a Ray Allen post game report. Not the least among them is the brand new Air Jordan III ‘Stealth’, a colorway that takes the typical ‘Bred’ combo and injects a healthy dose of cool grey in the mix. Along with other hot releases like the Air Foampiste Pro ‘Dark Pine’, these are poised to be some of the biggest back-to-school sneakers for the unlucky among you who have that to look forward to in the coming weeks. These are starting to pop up at Jordan Brand retailers like Millennium now, with the official release date right around the corner. Let us know in the comments if you’ll be picking these up, and if you can’t wait, you can find a pair now on eBay.

With Kobe still trailing behind MJ in the rings department, the man can only hope that if he ever does lock down a sixth championship that he can do so in a shade of the epic fashion that Jordan did. Of course when Jordan sank that ‘Last Shot’, he was wearing the Air Jordan XIV in Black/Varsity Red, a sneaker set to hit stores again this holiday season. The signature ‘bred’ colorway is always a good look for Air Jordan retros, and this one is even more special given that immortal moment in sports history that it represents. The mixture of suede and leather stays true to the original release that came at the tail end of the Tinker era, with the overall design of the sneaker being inspired by Jordan’s Ferrari. Follow us after the jump for a detailed look of the Air Jordan XIV in Black/Varsity Red, which can be had now ahead of the release date at Sneaker Ape.

If you are familiar with Ronnie Fieg’s line of work, you know that each time he trots out a new collabo the photo shoots sport more eye candy than just the sneakers. Well we appreciate Ronnie’s consistency, and judging from this teaser photo from the shoot for his upcoming Asics Gel Lyte III ‘Leatherbacks’ he is sticking with the tried and true formula of chicks and kicks. The Leatherbacks should pop up at Ronnie Fieg’s impending Kith retail space in NYC, so stay tuned with us for release info. Follow us after the jump for a full look at the photo that Mr. Fieg dropped on Instagram.

Penn & Teller’s B.S. did a show ‘debunking’ obesity a few years back by showing that a heavier guy could out-hurdle someone who looked to be in better shape. But short, tall, fat, or skinny, there are few who can top Chinese Olympic gold medalist Liu Xiang when it comes to sprinting and jumping. Xiang held the 110m world record for nearly four years, but it’s a mystery why it took nearly that long again after his reign ended for the man to earn a sneaker collaboration. But the time is finally here and the Liu Xiang x Nike LunarGlide+ 3 and Free Run+ 2 collection appears to have been worth the wait. Mens and ladies runners will be joined by a run of apparel featuring Xiang’s ‘flying man’ logo, all packaged in a dope wooden chest. A mere 86 sets will be issued in honor of the now-fallen 12.86s WR and released with a 15-set preview run this Monday, August 29th. The lucky first 15 buyers will join Liu himself at a special event on September 1st, so click through to see more and let us know if you’re readying your passport to get these in Beijing. via FRESHNESS

We recently showed you a pair of Vans Sk8Hi’s dubbed the ‘Camper Pack’, but this earthy pair may hit closer to home on that theme with its outdoorsy materials. Once again adopting the classic look of a Shearling coat, the warm wool lining on the inside is definitely something you’d want while venturing into the great outdoors, and the teak suede that dominates the upper comes in a rich brown tone that wouldn’t look too out of place in the middle of the woods. Plus with the gum soles on the bottom you won’t be constantly fretting about smudging them up. Take a a full look after the jump, and if you approve, then grab a pair of the Vans Sk8Hi in Teak/Dark Gum from SNS.
