It was February of 2012 when we learned of the last team up between Foot Patrol and Le Coq Sportif. The French/British connection is rekindled for another project, once again taking place on the Le Coq Sportif Eclat. Shown here is the first image of the Foot Patrol x Le Coq Sportif Éclat “Macaron”, a sneaker obviously inspired by everyone’s favorite sandwich style cookie. Get the full image after the jump and watch for them in Foot Patrol on June 1st.

The first sneaker from Lil Wayne’s Spectre by Supra line releases this Saturday, May 18th. The Supra Chimera debuts in three colorways, two of which we detailed just a short while ago. That leaves this third style for you to choose from this weekend, a riff on the classic Chicago Bulls palette that makes the most of high contrast to emphasize the Chimera’s unique silhouette. The other two styles more prominently feature varying material textures while this one maximizes its vintage lean with a tumbled leather up top; check them out up close below and let us know which of these first three Chimeras is best.

Solebox is no stranger to crafting their own colorups for Saucony shoes. As a matter of fact, they’re no stranger to the Saucony Shadow 5000, having already worked with the model once before in 2013 via their “Three Brothers Pack”. This next joint on the way from them looks be a bit of a darker affair, with the color pushed onto the insides via the super bright lining. There’s no word yet on a specific theme surrounding the sneaker, but as well all know the Solebox team loves to tell stories with their releases, so expect more on that soon. Hit the jump for more on the Solebox x Saucony Shadow 5000 and give us your predictions in the comments.

Sole Classics, the sole Vans Vault account out in the great state of Ohio, is being blessed with their own collabo shoe. The shoe in question is of the Vans Era persuasion, and almost manages to pull that sneaker out of its skate heritage what with the basketball style brown leather that pops up on the back end. Continue reading to get a video of the sneakers in action, in case you doubted their viability as a skateable shoe, and watch for them to release at Sole Classics next Saturday, May 25th

Chet Childress has been riding for Nike Skateboarding for more years than the model on which he just collaborated has colorways. That makes this Chet Childress x Nike SB Zoom Air Verona a bit different than your average pro makeup on something like the Dunk SB. Childress dips the Verona’s Elephant-toed upper in Dark Obsidian, letting the insoles serve as a spanned canvas for a handcrafted piece. Stick with Sneaker News for word on US availability and check out some new images below in the meantime.

While suede may have gone the way of the dodo on performance sneakers, the material is still very much alive and kicking in the retro category. Case in point are these two new pairs from the Deluxe x Vans team up, both of which end up with a nappy texture that’s definitely a cut above the standard when it comes to suede. The Vans Era releases also feature some smart bits of brown leather and translucent soles on the bottom. Hit the jump to see the entirety of the Deluxe x Vans Era line and stay tuned to find out whether or not they’ll be hitting US shores.

The Converse Jack Purcell is making a trip out to Italy, getting remixed by the team at Slam Jam for Summer 2013. More than just a brand new color up for the classic badminton model, the Slam Jam x Converse First String Jack Purcell reworks the design just a bit by adding a red snap button on the side. The shoe was inspired by a “nautical summer journey” that the team took, hence the text extending down the tongue and the durable water-repellant canvas up top. Continue reading for all the angles and watch for the Slam Jam x Converse Jack Purcell “Summer Journey” in stores on May 31st at select First String spots around the world.

Nike Sportswear goes way back to utilize a unique textile from one of the first UK wool industry brands. Fox Brothers & Co. traces its lineage all the way back to 1745, but the company was founded in 1772 as noted on the perforated leather insoles of these Nike Dunk Highs. The Fox Brothers Dunks mix a premium leather toe, Swoosh and boot laces with a striped and quilted wool upper to complete one of the classiest Dunk Highs we’ve ever seen (does this point to a wave of new Dunk collaborations like it was back in the day?). These should be out in mid June so enjoy the detailed gallery below and Sneaker News will keep you posted on the exact release date.
