Not only has Nike Running’s current flagship, the Air Max+ 2013 given rise to casual EXT releases, there’s a whole ‘nother model out there carrying its silhouette and namesake tech. The Nike Air Max Motion NSW is the most ‘NSW’ of all the lifestyle editions we’ve seen, dialing down the performance tech on the upper in favor of graduated perforations on the upper in a style not totally dissimilar from the cult classic Zoom Moire. This spectacular Photo Blue colorway comes from the NSW ‘Pinnacle Collection’, so have a closer look below and grab yours while you still can from Concepts.

With a name somewhere between traditional shoes and its use as a strike you might deliver with it on your foot, combined with cutting edge technologies like Dynamic Flywire and LunarLon cushioning, the Nike Lunar Chenchukka stands apart as one of the more unique blends of performance and casual comfort. This new Chenchukka Quickstrike combines a Dark Khaki suede upper with Violet Force running along the top midsole half and heel counter, pronouncing a blocking pattern we’ve seen applied a bit more subtly on the earlier previews. Let us know how these compare and stick with Sneaker News for word on stateside availability.

While the “Cork” version of the Nike LeBron X was a coveted style as soon as the first images hit, the Nike LeBron X “Brown Suede” was seemingly a little bit slower in winning over the public. The style, also one from LeBron’s Nike Sportsear infused range, serves up a reminder of the times when you could actually find suede on basketball sneakers, a time that’s long gone thanks to the current era of synthetics and the like. Get a new set of shots on the Nike LeBron X “Brown Suede” (Release date April 26th) below and tell us how they compare to other material switch ups like the “Denim” and “Cork”.

How many changes can you make to a classic plimsoll before it’s no longer a plimsoll? The classic lowtop covered vamp Oxford shoe has been one of the most popular sneaker designs since becoming one of the very first nearly two hundred years ago, but today’s skateboarding interpretations often extend the design’s spirit with modern fabrication methods. In the context of this trend toward sleek design, it’s easier to connect the nearly one-piece adidas Originals Plimsole 3 to the legacy its name represents. Check out the first four colorways below for variations on the simple style and grab yours at Three Stripes stockists like Titolo.

There’s a new version of the MCM Urban Nomad III floating around that may or may not have a “Year of the Snake” connection to it.

The snake look ends up obscuring the iconic MCM print just a little bit, but if you check out the detailed shots after the jump you’ll see that it is indeed there. See more on the MCM Urban Nomad III “Red Python” after the jump and get in touch with Feature LV, one of the few North American stockists, to get your pair.

adidas Originals has experimented with more Espadrille derivatives than any other brand not named ‘Vans’. We’ve seen it on collaborations with RANSOM and even classics like the Rod Laver, but now comes a brand new in-house style that also happens to be just for ladies. But in today’s highly-patterned fashion climate, and especially in this highly wearable Legend Ink colorway, the adidas Originals Azurine Espadrille is all but certain to gain plenty of male admirers. Flowers and the earthy rope weave sole are a natural fit, so have a closer look below, then buy yours at Three Stripes stockists like Titolo.
