The Nike Solarsoft Woven Mule has shown off two distinct weaves in its first two appearances. Here we see a closer look at a colorway previewed in the model’s first appearance back in January, a ‘South Beach’-leaning style whose ribbons are in the traditional NSW Woven vein as opposed to the considerably larger style shown in February. This colorway’s brown elements along with both pink and orange keeps the Miami look fresh and beckons you to a closer look at more photos after the jump.

Following up on the Volt-based debut, the Nike LunarFlash+ arrives in a second colorway. These also rely heavily upon a black/tonal grey pairing, but utilize a different blocking pattern that puts the Total Crimson pop into a supporting role. This highly breathable LunarLon runner gives you the performance and good looks to keep training even as the summertime reaches its peak, and you’ll find the LunarFlash available at select retailers like Kith.

Borrowing on a style originated by a model named for a Mexican chili pepper, this new release from Onitsuka Tiger takes its name from Brazil’s most famous peak. The Onitsuka Tiger Corcovado lends modern tech to the classic silhouette, its moniker connecting with further beauty by way of Rio de Janiero’s landmark Cristo Redentor statue. Fans of sleek old school runners like the 1970s Nikes, classic New Balances ending in -20 or even Onitsuka’s own Corsair will welcome these with open arms, and you can see the first two colorways after the jump.

Liberty London has hit us off with a variety of patterned fabrics over the course of their partnership with Nike Sportswear. The Denise Eva floral look has been the go-to for 2013, a pattern whose name has naturally led some to believe ‘she’ is the designer behind these collabs. This latest Liberty x Nike WMNS Dunk Sky High applies a dark version of the material in question a la Air Force 1 Downtown LIB, but with a concealed heel wedge, these smaller sizes are distinctly for the lady sneakerhead. Have a closer look after the jump, then find yours at NSW retailers like SNS.

A model that can be seen to borrow its sleek good looks from the Eric Koston’s Nike Skateboarding signature line, the Nike SB Rabona is beginning to carve out its own niche. The more new colorways we see, the more the Rabona’s trademark reinforced toe will have a chance to shine, as in the case of this new tonal grey edition where the unique lines dash across like contrails on a cloudy day. Fans of this washed out style will no doubt be happy to find a gum brown rubber on the outsole (traction pattern courtesy of Koston), so have a closer look below before you buy at SB shops like Premier.

Are you ready for the P-Rod 7 launch on July 5th? Paul Rodriguez’ seventh Nike Skateboarding signature is aside from the Lunar Rod the most overt expression of LunarLon in P-Rod’s series to date, but if you were looking to hide the space age cushion within a more traditional skate build, look no further than Paul’s own line. The Nike P-Rod 5 LR in Dark Grey adds a Gum Medium Brown vulc sole, which conceals the namesake cushion within a sole the likes of which skaters have been riding for fifty years. More photos follow the jump below, then you can grab a ‘Dark Grey’ P-Rod V LR at shops like Premier.

While their classics are synonymous with low-key suede and mesh, New Balance’s modern performance runners are every bit as connected to kaleidoscopic rainbow colorways. They also produce eye-catching if more traditional looks with the same tech benefits, as in the case of the New Balance Leadville 1210. Taking its name from Colorado’s insane Leadville Trail 100 race, the NB 1210 manages a perfect balance of support and light weight for those extreme endurance challenges.
