The adidas Originals Forum Mid has seen a fairly wide array of variations over the past couple years, this latest release for ladies both less and more obvious in it’s own way. The Forum Mid Kawall W will no doubt attract attention thanks to the glossy patent leather uppers, but without this eye-catching material (or perhaps because of it), would you notice how the Forum’s signature ankle strap has been de-velcro’d in favor of a belt-like loop closure? It’s certainly one of the highlights of this tonal pink plus red and white design along with the die-cut cherries along the rear, and you can see more angles after the jump, then buy yours from Kicks-crew.

Hip-hop pioneers Run-DMC claimed to be the ‘Kings of Rock’, and here’s a new production of their beloved shelltoes that’d go nicely with Rick Rubin’s cowbell-laden beats. The adidas Originals Superstar XL offers an even more pronounced take on the heavy metal studded look than the black Superstar 80s we just showed you, their pearly eyestay and enlarged branding making these more than the average white leather sneakers. You might expect by the colorway that these could have been released earlier in the summer, but their sparkling Swarovski crystals allow for the kind of timeless style that you can selectively choose at any point from here into perpetuity. Check out more angles after the jump and look for these soon at select adidas Originals stockists. via SM

Things have been sort of quiet on the Nike Free Run+ 2 front lately, having calmed down a little bit since releases like the City Pack and the Run Dem Crew exclusives. This one isn’t any sort of quickstrike/limited edition release but that’s no reason to look it over, as the black/red combo has always been a strong one in the hands of Nike. Despite the use of varsity red the outcome here is more “Vamp” than “Bred”, with the deep shade of red crawling across the outer layer of construction for the upper. Take a full look after the jump at the Nike Free Run+ 2 in Black/Anthracite/Varsity Red and grab your pair now from Finishline.

Unsatisfied with resting on the laurels of the adidas Originals line, the three stripes team has been pushing the envelope with a gang of crazy trainers as of late. One of the most exciting of the bunch is the ClimaCool line, which maintains ventilation as a top priority. You can certainly tell when you look at them, with the layered mesh of the above pictured adidas CC Moves Trainer providing plenty of space for contraction and the movement of air. Continue reading for a detailed look at both colorways of the new adidas CC Moves Trainer, which are beginning to pop up at select adidas retailers. via Sole Movement

Nickelodeon has teamed up with sneaker customizer Pimp My Kicks to create a custom set of sneakers to signify the Nickelodeon World Wide Day Of Play. Taking place this September 24th at the Ellipse in President’s Park in Washington, DC, the Nickelodeon WWDOP is a youth-driven effort to promote ‘play’ for an active lifestyle; furthermore, Nickelodeon had suspended television programming on its network from noon to 3PM on that day! For this special event, Pimp My Kicks created a special set of custom sneakers for the cast of some of Nickelodeon’s most popular shows, like iCarly, Big Time Rush, Victorious, and Supah Ninjas. Check out the custom kicks and let us know what you think.

Thanks to big name collaborators like Jeremy Scott and Yohji Yamamoto, adidas is in no danger of being accused of playing it safe with their sneaker designs. Adding to the long history of unconventional releases from the Y-3 line is the above pictured adidas Y-3 Sala. The scaled, gator-like leather comes in all black, broken up at the midfoot region by the three stripes which carry the name of their designer. Mixing in a few hits of patent leather, these give off a distinct dress shoe vibe. Take a full look at the super sleek adidas Y-3 Sala after the jump and grab your pair from Ssense.

The Nike Blazer VNTG series has become a popular staple from Nike Sportswear over the past few years and this fall saw a couple of notable changes. The most recent drops were the first Vintage Blazer Highs to come with tonal laces and tongues and saw the initial Blazer Low VNTG releases. These two colorways for next summer keep the same tonal tongue/white laces look as those recent lowtops, black and Varsity Red keeping things about as simple as you could want, with the typical VNTG pre-yellowing some have called superfluous absent on these. Click through to see these new Premium Blazer Lows and stick with Sneaker News for the US release dates. via CK

The adidas Originals Honey midtops launched about two years ago as part of Three Stripes’ collaboration with the French artist Fafi, and like several other adidas lifestyle offerings, has evolved to take on familiar design cues from footwear standards. We’ve seen a desert boot variant and nowsomething a bit more rugged with the Honey Hook for women, a bright blue suede release with black accents and a white vulc sole that’s prime for guys of the right size to 1.5-up and grab a pair. Check out more images after the jump and look for these at adidas Originals accounts like SNS.

There’s nothing that can put an extra pep in your step quite like a Nike Air bubble. The good news for you airheads out there is the new Fall 2011 delivery from Nike Sportswear boasts a gang of sneakers with that all important see-through compartment. First up is a trio of Nike Air Max 90′s, including the unconventional black ripstop nylon version, and a couple that mix it up with medium grey to a nice effect. After that is the Nike Air Trainer SC II in Burgundy, one of the many brand new colorways we’ve seen for this OG classic in 2011. Rounding out the drop is a clean black/white Air Force 1 Low, a sneaker we haven’t heard to much from lately outside of the VT releases. Check out full images of the collection after the jump and hit up Extra Butter to grab your pairs.

It’s kind of funny when Google claims that they’re a ‘dog company’ that prefers you not bring your feline friends to work, but the fact is that the world’s top corporations are realizing the value of stimulating environments for their employees. Sneaker News has shown you a variety of looks from Nike’s Beaverton, Oregon campus, and though adidas maintains a US base of operations in Portland, the Brand with the Three Stripes’ home remains in Germany, where a new headquarters was built in Herzongenaurach. Imagined by design firm KINZO, the new adidas corporate HQ has the kind of massive expanse coupled with a clear orientation toward team collaboration that many could only dream of experiencing on a daily basis. It’s all supremely clean inside, the white, black and glass showing a clear Apple iGadget influence while a variety of adi-garb hangs from all corners. Does adidas now own the sneaker world’s best building? Click through to see more angles and let us know if you’d like to pull a 9-5 in these spaces.
