Vans Zapato Del Barco – Fall 2009
And the boat shoes keep cruisin’ on as the Vans Zapato Del Barco comes out this fall season in three new colorways. Rockin’ a black/grey, khaki, and olive colorway for each shoe, the Vans Zapato uses only premium materials on this shoe, along with white midsoles that will soon have that worn yet stylish look that most Vans’s are famous for. This model pays attention to detail as you can see with the inner lining and ankle area. Be patient as the next season approaches, unless you’d like to pay a fine sum for these shoes online.Via Journal Standard.

In June, Vans released a two-sneaker pack of the 46 CA Hi model which featured a red colorway and a black colorway. Now, photos of the Vans 46 CA Low Fall 2009 lineup have surfaced and are now available at Flauge.
The low-cut sneaker will come in three colorways for the fall including turquoise, green and yellow. All three pairs feature a tonal base combined with a white vulcanized rubber sole. Other features include tonal shoelaces, a tonal Vans logo tag (side panels) and a beige inner lining. Click here to view the lineup in its entirety.
Air Jordan Fusion 13 White/Black/Red
When we first gave you a look at the Jordan Fusion 13, it seemed that nearly none of you liked the shoes. Today, we have a look at photos of the upcoming release. The Air Jordan Fusion 13 takes the Air Jordan 13, and combines it with the Air Force 1 sole. The white, black and red colorway was originally applied to AJ13 back in 1997. Placed on the Fusion 13, the colorway is still fresh, but can it make the shoe?
Do these actual photos change your opinion of the shoe? Click here to let us know what you think.
Fragment Design x Nike Air Zoom All Court Premium
In the past, Nike Sportswear and Fragment Design have teamed up to design simple, stylish designs, namely the Nike Tennis Classic (which also included the help of Uniform Experiment). However, instead of collaborating on a classic Nike sneaker, both sides have now designed a new model dubbed the Nike Air Zoom All Court Premium.
This model’s makeup is almost identical to the aforementioned Nike Tennis Classic except it possesses a rubber toe cap. As for the colorway, this sneaker owns a 100% white leather upper with a black/orange Nike logo on the tongue. In addition, this shoe also features a perforated swoosh on the side panels. Stay tuned for more information regarding this new silhouette. What are your thoughts on the Nike Air Zoom All Court Premium?
Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III XDR
We gave you a look at the Nike Zoom Soldier III XDR earlier this month. Today, we have additional photos.
The Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III XDR is designed for outdoor use, yet still maintains the lightweight performance that the Soldier III is synonymous with. The key in strengthening the longevity of the shoes comes from XDR, Extra Durable Rubber. Unfortunately, these will only release as an Asia Exclusive so they won’t hit US Stores. You can however, pick them up at Kix-Files.

Nike Air Trainer III “Medicine Ball”
Earlier in the month we gave you a preview of the Medicine Ball inspired Trainer III. Today, they have arrived at Premier.
The Nike Air Trainer III “Medicine Ball” features medicine ball colored accents combined with white and navy blue. With all of the classic features from the Trainer III, and a fresh colorway, these should find a place in the closet for many folks. These will set you back $110.
Thanks to Daily Drop for the heads up.
Nike Air Penny II Atlantic Blue
The Atlantic Blue Penny has been a long time coming this retro form. Until this weekend, the Atlantic Blue colorway was the only original colorway.
The combination of white leather and the soft Atlantic Blue suede is arguably the best colorway of the Penny II, and for some, the best Penny of all time. The Nike Air Penny II Atlantic Blue will be available at Politics starting tomorrow at 10:30 AM for $145.

Jordan Element Performance Review
As we all know, streetball is nothing less than a ritual throughout the United States, let alone the entire world, year in and year out. Each summer, Jordan Brand releases multiple outdoor sneakers exclusively designed for the rigors of the outdoor playgrounds. One of the outdoor designs created for this summer season is this Jordan Element. Although we first spotted this particular sneaker on Ray Allen’s feet towards the end of the 2008-09 NBA, many sneaker enthusiasts really took a liking towards it upon seeing it as a part of the Quai 54 x Air Jordan “Ruff & Tuff” Pack.
We put the Jordan Element through indoor and outdoor performance tests to see how it could handle both elements of play. Click here to see how Jordan Element performed.
Nike Alpholution Fall 2009
The Alpholution first appeared on the web at the end of May. Since then we have seen a number of colorways.
The Fall 2009 Nike Alpholution colorways have recently become available at the Nike Store. The timeless black on black colorway, as well as a number of others, including the fresh Blue Sapphire colorway, all come in at $100. Not a bad price for a pair of kicks to finish out the summer in.
Click here to view each colorway.
Nike Air Force 1 Supreme Max Air
Usually, most people associate predominately black-colored sneakers with the fall/winter season; however, Nike has just released a stylish Air Force 1 of a similar colorway in the middle of the summer at select retailers such as Dunk.
This Nike Air Force 1 Supreme Max Air contains a primarily black leather base mixed with a translucent midsole and a black outsole. Other features include a visible Air sole unit and white details in the form of the swoosh and inner lining. No word yet on when this sneaker will release stateside, however, click here to view detailed photos. Is this one of the better Nike Air Force 1 releases this summer?
Nike Air Hoop Structure White/Teal/Infrared
The Air Hoop Structure has been well received, despite being a remake of an older model running shoe.
The Nike Air Hoop Structure in the original colorway (of the Structure Triax 91) has arrived at Proper. It features teal accents on the outside panels, and Infrared accents on the inside panels, highlighted with subtle clear outsole.
The colorway is an undeniable classic when placed on the running silhouette, but what are your thoughts when it’s placed on the Hoop Structure version? Click here to give us you thoughts.

Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache
The early 90’s brought countless running classics from many brands. Nike had many, two of which, are combined in the newest hybrid.
This red and white colorway of the Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache will hit retailers early next month. Most of you seem to feel this hybrid is taking away from the classic Air Huarache and Air Max 90. However, with the recent success of the Maxim 1, maybe some of you will reconsider? Especially since the Maxim 1, initially, received the same negative feedback.
