Nike Free Haven 3.0

Brendan Dunne — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:00:07 +0000

The Nike Free technology gets passed around campus on Beaverton quite a bit, being a frequent addition to hybrid models of all sorts. Of course at the end of the day it was built for runners so the majority of the Free-equipped models are going to be just that, like the upcoming Nike Free Haven 3.0. Wearing a bit of a birdcage construction a la the Nike Free Run+ 2, the Haven has a similar potential for killer two toned releases as seen on this black/volt sample. Let us know if you’re anticipating the arrival of the Nike Free Have 3.0 on the comments below and stick with Sneaker News for more shots of upcoming colorways. via Regular Ol Ty

Nike MayFly PRM QS – Black – Tan

John K. — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:00:32 +0000

Nike Sportswear has displayed an uncanny ability to turn the most technical and unflattering of shoes into perfect lifestyle shoes. Take for example the Nike MayFly – a track and field shoe that was stripped down to skin (Tyvek material, actually) only to give runners an advantage. Of course, this new Premium offering is meant more for the weekend, because it’s got a simple Black/Tan colorway constructed in suede uppers and leather insoles. The original graphic stays, but it’s got a new heart thanks to this Premium-grade transplant of materials. Check out the extra shots below and see what’s available at UK retailer End.

Asics Gel-Lyte Speed ‘Tomato’

Aaron Hope — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:35:16 +0000

Sneaker News just brought you images of a new ZX 8000 design from adidas Originals that utilized a couple shifts in the most basic color shades to give the shoe a unique finished look. Good news for anyone who found that style appealing, as today we have a look at a new drop from another brand that utilizes a similar style (which one’s better?). The Asics Gel-Lyte Speed comes through in a white base accented by what looks like from a distance the three primary colors of pigment, though a closer look reveals the ‘red’ to be done in a lycopene-y shade closer to orange that’s earned this model a ‘Tomato’ nickname. Check them out from a variety of other angles after the jump and find yours at select retailers like Hanon.

adidas Originals ZX 700 – Power Blue – Green Blend

Aaron Hope — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:00:50 +0000

The simple fact is, while we still have an almost infinite amount of technical innovation ahead of us, certain things about the sneaker industry are almost set in stone by this point in history. For example, even in the craziest Jeremy Scott or Y-3 releases, the shape of any sneaker is still going to reflect our natural anatomy. And because of the fact that we’ve seen so many recognizeable designs over the past couple decades, it seems like the majority of palatable color combos have been utilized and given a nickname. But then you see something like the adidas Originals ZX 700, a familiar silhouette with a palette so unique, it makes you realize there’s still plenty of real estate left on the color wheel. These really just employ your basic ‘Microsoft/Google/eBay’ color scheme, but the subtle tweaks to each of the primary colors plus a pinch of purple gives these a simultaneously rustic and vibrant feel. Solid if not outstanding for a general release, you’ll find these at select adidas Originals accounts like SNS

Nike Air Max 90 – White – Dark Shadow – Red

Aaron Hope — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:00:39 +0000

What would happen if you took the Nike Air Max 90‘s best known colorway and toned down the intensity on the black and red sections? The first answer that comes to mind upon seeing this new pair is “Another beautiful AM90″, but let’s be more specific about what they’re bringing to the table. This is one of many Ninetys this spring done up with the beloved ‘Infrared’ OG blocking pattern, and just like the other releases that’re more widely available, these opt for a shift on the mudguard rather than the OG black (Dark Shadow grey, in this case). This in combination with a more conventional red than the Infra- variety gives these a fresh but familiar feel, but the only way you’ll ever have them in your hands them is to get in touch with JD Sports.

Supra Owen – New Images

Aaron Hope — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:00:31 +0000

Supra has so widely expanded their range of colorways and models over the past year or so that the only logical conclusion would be expanding beyond their skateboarding beginnings. We got the earliest hints of this movement from the Crown brand’s boot offerings, and now their first non-skate athletic release offers a solution to the most fundamental sport. The Supra Owen is a low-cut runner with a silhouette that’s somewhere between the Jordan CMFT 10 and one of Nike’s LunarLon drops, and though it might not have the technical advantages of the world’s leading running shoe manufacturers, the breathable and super-lightweight 9oz build all but guarantee a comfortable ride (especially for casual purposes). Check out the first four colorways courtesy of early recipient Ben Baller, and stick with Sneaker News for updates on all the 2012 Supra sneakers.

New Balance M998OG + ML999GP @ West NYC

Aaron Hope — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:00:49 +0000

The fallout of last year’s CNCPTS x New Balance 999 ’Kennedy’ hit release has seen a warm reception for this classic along with wider availability of new colorways here in the US, exactly the kind of momentum we’re hoping to see from the model that’s just one number different. But the New Balance 998 has a significantly differnent silhouette than the NB999, so having both of them arrive in new editions offers a great opportunity to get schooled on these (almost) forgotten classics. The 999s come in a tonal grey getup with purple accents, while the 998s opt for an earthy brown mix of suede and mesh. Photos after the jump will make you more familiar with these relatively rare ‘Made in USA’ designs, then you can grab one or both of them from West.
