A few days ago, I posted pictures of the lavender Air Jordan II Retros designed by creative powerhouse, Vashtie Kola. Here’s a more detailed look at the shoe from Extra Butter, a boutique in Long Island, New York. The shoes release this Saturday, October 2, but the shop was able to get their hands on an advance pair to give us a better look at the shoe.
Check it out.

The holidays are coming. Never mind the fact that Halloween, Thanksgiving, or even Columbus Day hasn’t rolled around yet. A few stores have begun to string up Christmas lights, and now we are given a look at two new colorways for Nike Toki ND this holiday season.
Now available in red and black with gold accents, as well as an awesome grape, the shoes have suede uppers and hiking-boot-esque laces.
Very simple, but very nice.

Air Jordan‘s new Flight 45s are dope as hell. It’s the first hybrid shoe that I’ve actually been into, with a perfect use of color (the teal and red detailing goes so hard) and a sleek silhouette. The shoes also come with a translucent Jumpman tag fastened in one of the eyelets, a teal Jumpman along the heel and a Jordan strap along the upper.
Not too much, not too little. These will be classic.

San Francisco-brand Huf just released it’s Fall 2010 Collection, featuring a variety of subtle colorways including blue, olive green, cream, red and black. Not so sure about the stars around the some of them, but overall, it’s worth a look.

Vans is set to release two new colorways in their 1-year-old Supercosa model this season. They’ll be available in two suede versions: black and camel.
Take a look below…

Get them over at select Vans retailers.

This is first time I’ve wanted a pair of Vans since the Pack came out with their ode to the canvas shoe about four years ago. (Click the link to reminisce.) The brand worked on an unexpected collaboration with Crayola. Yes, the makers of your favorite childhood crayons!!!
Take a minute and absorb that adorableness.
They literally look like a little kid scribbled all over the canvas upper of the shoe, and they come in a few vibrant colorways, including purple, red and blue.

I need these in my life.

I’m impressed. Nike SB actually managed to take something as loud as blue zebra print and make it tasteful…
Check out these Blue Zebra Blazers below. They’re suede, so they won’t be safe for those of us who walk hard – *looks at shoes with tears in eyes* – but they are definitely nice enough to get a second look…

Lol at those zebra-print insoles.

As usual, I’m torn about something released by Bathing Ape. BAPE started it’s collaboration with the Japan-based AMBUSH, last year.
This season, the two brands are releasing their Creep Sta model in a variety of vibrant colors to bring in Spring the right way.
However, I’m not sure if I’m really into them. The eye-catching colors are very BAPE, and while I appreciate a little brightness in my life, I just can’t decide whether I love them or hate them.
Take a look and let me know what ya’ll think…

Check out this preview of this canvas variation on Creative Recreation’s Cesario XVI. It’s being released in three new colorways: navy blue, black and white. Definitely a decent spring shoe, looks lightweight and clean cut–two qualities we all need in a shoe as the temperatures start to climb.
Who am I kidding? It’s freezing in DC today. But a girl can dream…

Giuliano Fujiwara is a more than 20-year-old Japanese label that is based out of Milan. I’ve been seeing their Spring/Summer 2010 sneakers posted all over the blogs for the past few days, and I’m intrigued by the shoe pictured on the thumb.
While I actually do like them (a fact that perplexes me), they remind me of Michael J. Fox’s futuristic (sorry, I had to) shoes from Back to the Future.
C’mon, you can’t tell me that these….

don’t remind you of these…

Exactly.
But I digress…check out the rest of the Spring/Summer 2010 sneaker …
