Here is a new style being released from Nike Sportswear in Spring 2010 for both men and women, the Nike Huarache Dance Low. The basic silhouette seems like a cross between the original Huarache and a Nike Court Force. There is a wide array of materials used for these, both natural and synthetic. These Huarache Dance Lows boast leather, neoprene, perforated suede and patent leather uppers that are ideal for comfort and flexibility, which all sit on a rubber midsole and outsole similar to the sole of the Nike Court Force. Keep reading after the jump for a look at all the upcoming Spring 2010 colorways and thanks to Shoeniverse for the pics.”

Nike Auto Flight Hi – House of Hoops Exclusive – Safari – Black – Red

bam — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:00:41 +0000

It looks like Nike’s new design trend has moved on from making fusions to simply applying an autoclaved soles to some past basketball faves for a flipped lifestyles look. But designs like this Auto Flight seen here even further separate itself from its original Air Flight Hi form, at least compared to some other colorway choices we’ve already seen. We couldn’t see Scottie rocking these alongside MJ’s sig designs, could we? The essential Bulls colorway is garnished with patent leather ad a safari print along some of the paneling, mostly towards the back. The solid red found on the Swoosh, lining trim and sole make a good balance to the atypical athletic design. Though these are a HOH exclusive, you can come ‘em on the 19th from LTD-Online.

Louis Vuitton Sunlight Sneaker Winter 2009

Jacob — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:30:19 +0000

We all remember the hype surrounding Kanye West’s collaborations with Louis Vuitton for the LV Don and Jasper sneaker. Although these LV Sunlight sneakers from the Winter 2009 collection have no affiliation with the rapper/producer, they still have a clean design that should definitely appeal to those sneaker heads out there with an eye for the more luxurious side of things. These LV Sunlights feature two colorways, grey/royal blue and khaki/red. The upper is a combination of premium suede and leather with perforated suede side panels, a suede ankle strap and mesh tongue and liner. If you missed out on the “Dons” or the “Jaspers” you can still cop a pair of LV Sunlights at Louis Vuitton.

Nike Air Zoom Toki QS + Blazer Mid Supreme TZ

Aaron Hope — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:00:40 +0000

Nike calls ‘em ‘Rustic’, but these are two of the smoothest and most sophistocated packs we’ve seen of late. Available today at Nike Sportswear’s 21 Mercer St. flagship store in New York are the latest Nike Air Zoom Toki Quickstrike and Blazer Mid Supreme, which is a Tier Zero release. Both go with that beautiful lightly-oiled caramel-coloured leather that might look even better when scuffs are strategically applied. Darker brown laces add balance, with white vulcanized soles (and piping on the Tokis) brightening up the whole picture.

Patta x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star + Pro Leather 76 – Available

Aaron Hope — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:30:55 +0000

For anyone not intimately acquainted with modern ’street’ culture, it’d probably be easy to confuse Patta and Parra. You can start to see similarities beyond their nearly-identical European names, upon viewing the former’s entire collection for Converse. Let’s take the Lincoln/Kennedy-style analysis a step further: Parra, who designed a special Converse Chuck Taylor All Star earlier this year, also just dropped a Nike Air Maxim 1 and two matching varsity jackets. Meanwhile, Patta had designed two Converse hightops (quilted grey Chuck and burgundy corduroy Pro Leather 76) with a reversible varsity jacket to match or contrast either pair. These dropped in Europe back in September, but will be hitting select U.S. retailers like HUF tomorrow, November 14th.

Converse All-Star Strap Hi Leather

bam — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:30:32 +0000

No this isn’t one of those high-end brands making a shoe that just-so happens to look like a Chuck Taylor. It’s a good ol’ Chuck Taylor, but with a new twist. Converse probably noticed they didn’t have a model to compete against the rising success of strappy sneakers, say, Reebok’s Ex-O-Fit or Supra’s TK Society. Even DC got the hint and made the Admiral WT. Alas, Converse upped the ante and added a double strap to their staple shoe. Rather than laces going all the up and choking the ankles, the two velcro straps add a more contemporary look (not to mention makes less left-over lacing since most of us never tied it all the way up anyway). But this isn’t the only modification. Elastic padding is fitted as an upper heel counter for extra comfort. In monochrom choices of white or black, these are a nice new look for the old shoe brand. via streething.com

WTAPS x A Bathing Ape URSUS Bapesta

Aaron Hope — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:30:55 +0000

A Bathing Ape’s URSUS Bape collection debuted this fall, marking the first set of designs from WTAPS head and new Bape lead designer Tet. The collection has centered around some interesting fonts paired with an old hotrod graphic that has popped up in a few places, along with a few others that have the look of modernized classic Americana. And URSUS has added their touch to the Bapesta lowtop, although modernized might not be the best descriptor for the change. Mostly, it’s a stitched side panel that has these looking different from any of the other high-contrast Bapestas we’ve seen before. Grab yours from Cliff Edge. via HB
