Lately we have been giving a whole lot of praise to Vans for all of the nice and simple shoes that they have been putting out which is a nice change from all of the wild and crazy colored shoes that they were doing just a few years ago. A lot of their recent shoes have been really nice versions of their casual sneakers although we have been itching a bit to see something that is a little complex in some nice simple colorways. It looks like Vans has just granted our wish with the new Taka Hayashi Vans Vault Sk8 Hi LX Black.

This shoe will put together a brown ostrich quarter panel with a black woven forefoot and luxurious suede will make an appearance as well, wrapping around the collar and meeting the previous textile around the midfoot. These shoes will feature the signature print on the toe bumper.

All of the new materials that have been releasing from Nike over the past year have really been great and when applied to their original sneakers they offer much improved performance. Of course you can’t expect Nike to create the material and only apply it to that first original shoe, as that is just not something that they are known for doing. Today we are going to be taking a closer look at the latest shoe to get itself done up with the Fuse treatment and we think it looks very good. This is the new Nike Dunk High Fuse QS Black.

This comes as no surprise especially after the Air Force 1 adopted the Foamposite material. The Fuse material has been added to many different section of the Nike Dunk and end result is very nice. The all black colorway was the perfect way to pull this off correctly.

Second only maybe the Nike Dunk, the Nike Air Force 1 has seen more colorways and material combinations than just about any other sneaker out there. In fact we have been wondering lately just how long it will be until Nike starts releasing the Nike Air Force 1 with things like the Lunar sole. That being said, if a material is released on any of Nike’s shoes you can bet that it will only be a matter of time until it shows up on the Air Force 1. The TecTuff material has been popular as of late and it has just been applied to a new shoe, this is the new Nike Air Force 1 High TecTuff Black.

The extra durable TecTuff material has been applied to the toe area and heel panels while the rest of the upper has been made up of premium leather. If these are on your want list, then you can grab up a pair very soon.

Every once in a while a material comes along that completely changes the way that we look at sneakers in general. As of late we have been seeing a lot of new materials such as Flywire, Torch and of course the always popular Lunar sole. Back a few years ago though we weren’t so spoiled for choice and when a new material came out it was always a much bigger deal. The Foamposite material definitely changed the way we view basketball shoes and now that it is being applied to the Air Force 1 we have even more to celebrate. This is the new Nike Foamposite Air Force 1 Black.

This isn’t the first time that we have taken a look at this shoe but with all of these new and detailed images we thought that it would be worth a second look. You just gotta love that icy midsole.

The Nike Air Force 1 is a model that has been around fro years and will probably never go out of style for as long as Nike is still in business for. Generally these shoes are worn for fashion and for casual wear, but Nike occasionally likes to extend the shoes reach a bit with a new version of the shoe that changes people’s opinion of them. The workboot edition has always been a popular version and today we are going to take a look at the latest edition. This is the all new Nike Air Force 1 Workboot in black.

The entire upper of this shoe will be done up in black premium leather with white contrast stitching being featured throughout the upper as well. It will feature a white sole and a boot-like lacing system with a matching ankle strap to complete the rugged look of the shoe.

Ah, the hybrid. It can be pulled off so well and it also has the potential to become one of the worst disasters ever seen in the sneaker world, sometimes being enough to actual offend sneakerheads. We have seen a great deal of both over the years and for every time that we get a look at a good looking hybrid, there is an equally bad one following in its track to spoil the fun for everyone. Recently, a new hybrid model was released that was to the pleasure of just about everyone. This was the new Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite and it came in a silver and black colorway. Today we are going to take a look at a new version of the shoe in all black.

This all black will make use of the same Foamposite material as its cousin but will also feature the beloved all black form that is so commonly seen on Foamposite sneakers.

With the Nike Air Force 1 Work Boot getting set to release once the holiday season rolls around, some other shoes looking like they are going to be following in those same footsteps. We have just received word about this new Nike Air Rally Work Boot Edition in a black colorway. The Nike Air Rally is a seldom seen model so it seems strange that it would get such a special makeover but either way we are digging the look of this shoe overall.

This is definitely a good look for the shoe which usually takes on a sporty tennis shoe look. These ones will come with black leather and white contrast stitching that will match the white outsole. The familiar metal eyelets and corded laces that let you know you are in for a hard days work are featured here as well. These will start shipping on July 10th.
