Shawn Stussy’s eponymous clothing line is one of the veterans of streetwear. Their return to prominence this past decade serves as inspriation to some in the fashion world during this time of economic uncertainty. One of the ways Stussy charged back onto the map hard was with a few key collaborations. Here’s another one, and these pictures seem to indicate a can’t-miss.
The Stussy x Dr. Martens Desert Boot appears here in a powder blue design we first saw back in January. Featuring tonal stitching, orange laces and heel strap and a white sole, these beauties are set to accompany two other pairs later this year. Vagant has ‘em pegged for a Fall 2009 release, so stick with Sneaker News and we’ll keep you up to date.

Clarks Originals offer some of the dopest street-level boots today. Best known for their omnipresent Wallabee moccassin-toed chukka, Clarks’ Desert Boot is nothing to scoff at. Exclusive to Japan, this white leather take on the classic design fits the move toward subdued colours in light of the depressed economy. Whether it’s to save money or for some other reason, these are only available in sizes up to US 10.5. While this leaves your author out in the cold, those with more reasonably sized soles can cop these now at atmos.

It looks like a trend now: first, adidas reappropriated the boat shoe in a hybrid sneaker, but now, it’s unavoidable that colourful boat shoes are the flavor de jour. And with these releases from Portugese label Danessa, that flavor is ever so satisfying. Danessa got up with Japanese retailer Journal Standard and pumped out a set of seven stunning deck shoes. Instead of relying solely on the traditional brown and occasional navy blue, Danessa and JS added striking kelly greens, brick reds and cobalt blues. Each in rich suede atop a gum sole, the entire collection is ready now at the JS e-store.

Airwalk has, until this point, been known as one of the icons of the 90′s skate scene. If not *the* major player, they were sufficiently important during that time that you’d hear the Freudian “Nike Airwalk” around the uninformed. It looks like, alongside all of the other skateboarding shoe companies, Airwalk is taking a step to the left with some more casual looks.
Our friends at Freshness noted that this trend has been ongoing for some time now, and since everyone loves a good chukka, the classic Desert Boot is a good place to start. A brown suede chukka boot with a deeply-ridged sole, the classic Airwalk logo appears on the outside ankel of either shoe. These are releasing this year, and we’ll let you know exactly when.

So we’ve heard about Kanye West’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton for quite some time now, he recently confirmed it on TMZ but he’s decided to blog about it himself. He just posted one of six designs that he did with Louis Vuitton on his blog. The first pair is a very clean white boat shoe with what looks like very premium white leathers and a puffed heel to add a little flavor. He was also recently seen wearing another style, check it out below. Via Kanye

Dr. Martens boots have been around for over 60 years, and while they’ve been a staple for rockers and other rebels for nearly as long, we’ve never covered one of their releases here at SneakerNews. If they keep it up with quality releases like these, we might have to make the change permanent.
Today, we see the Manton Desert Boot in a stunning black and white colourway. They are among the most elegant boots we’ve seen: buttery soft black leather and black stitching plus a white sole, midsole stitch and laces. It’s like a yin-yang — perfection in contrast. Take a look and then cop em at Caliroots. Via HB
