These Nike Dunk High Supreme’s foster subtle tones with just enough added flavor to set itself from the rest of the numerous Dunks that come out. In a slick Black/Matte Silver palette, the upper is also garnished with large polka dots that are cleverly patterned for a co-ed friendly look. The overall look of the upper almost looks as if its 3M reflective, but there are no descriptions indicative of it being so; just simple the matte silver giving it that feel. As you can see on the tongue, these Dunks also get equipped with Zoom unit soles, as we’ve seen on a bunch of Dunks released back in 2008. Officially part of the Fall 2010 season, they’re spotted early overseas (as usual) but expect them in a couple of weeks. via Atmos-Tokyo

Thanks to a name like Fragment Design, the Nike All Court finally stopped going under the radar. And with some other solid colorways as general releases, they’re starting to hit a sort of mainstream level. In a new Midnight Navy and Birch, the color choices in such materials as canvas and super premium suede, respectively, give these classics such a sophisticated look that so allures many a sneakerhead now-a-days. As a booster, the interior gets lined with terrycloth for a super comfy fit all Summer long. Cop while you can from Extra Butter; we heard these Quickstrike pairs are flying out the door.

The weather has been up and down lately, playing with our emotions and yearn for solid Summer weather. And with that we’ll start seeing more and more shoes on the lighter and whiter side. Although the redundant white on white AF1 somehow still holds it down as one of the biggest selling shoes each season, some of you want some variety. This Flytop provides such desire with a white leather upper accompanied with white/white gold woven paneling. It may not appear so in these photos, but the gold underlay in the weave presents a bit of a metallic shimmer for some extra pop. Plus the fact that the design is found upon the ever-growing popular Flytop model. No word on a release but stay tuned. via Dunk

Coming in favorable colorways and materials- suede, leather, mesh- each pair features reflective material on either the medial panel seen with a subtle alligator pattern, or on the branded N and heel tab. A part of the Spring/Summer line, expect these to either be already out or coming in the upcoming weeks. via SuedeandMesh

Two years in the making, Livestock proudly presents its collaborative pack with Ferrari and Puma. First initiated when Puma sent some of the Livestock crew to the Monetral Grand Prix a few years ago, their fascination for the Ferrari Support Challenge grew, along their appreciation for Puma’s involvement in the branding and design of the stock cars. Fir this collection, the Puma Mid was the model of choice. Ferrari colors became the obvious foundation for the design; red, yellow and black for suede uppers. Getting gown to the details, tire rubber is used for the midsole trim, perforated pig skin for the lining, and leather insole which features a screenprinted track with turns related to Livestock, Puma, Ferrari and F1. A common ground for collaborative shoes, a special Livestock hang tag accompanies each pair. To tie in the racing theme, the Ferrari logo is found on the back heel tab, while a perforated 27 is found on the tongues to honor F1 driving legend and fellow Canadian, Gilles Villeneuve.
Of course with all Puma List shoes, an additional pair is created exclusively for the collaborative store. The Livestock-only pair is inspired by the Honda S2000, sponsored by Puma and Livestock, which has won the Improved Product2 championship for the past two years. Thus, the special edition Puma Mid is utilizes the same facets as the other pairs except features premium leather in white. Additionally, the Ferrari logo is replaced by #46, the car’s race number. To round up the design, all pairs including the suede ones, will feature a luxury Puma x Ferrari helmet bag to become a makeshift storage for the shoes. The entire collection is already out and is sure to become a nice little collectors piece. Check out the video below for further info.
