Despite the fact that we regularly only cover a handful of different brands here on Sole Redemption, there are a huge number of brands out there that produce sneakers on a regular basis. Many of these sneakers just stay far below the radar to us because they are not big names like the Nike and adidas sneakers that we spend the majority of our time covering. Still though, there are times when these sneakers deserve their share of coverage as well, and being equal opportunity sneakerheads, we are happy to give them those opportunities. Today we are going to be looking at the latest example of that with the Fila Cage Collection.

There will be a total of three different sneakers featured as a part of this one, so there should definitely be something in here that will please you.

We were almost at the point when we thought that Nike was running out of brands to collaborate with. Of course they have partnered up with just about all of the people that we can think of, but it is the job of Nike to expand that out farther onto the people that we might never have thought would ever be collaborating partners in the sneaker game. In reality it isn’t even that hard to find people who want to collaborate with Nike as tons of people out there would love to have the opportunity to have their own shoes. Today we are going to look at the latest instance of that happening with this new Mighty Crown x Nike Collection.

There will be two different shoes that make up this pack with one of them coming as a Nike Dunk High and the other as a Nike Sky Force 88 Low.

We can imagine that some of the smaller sneaker brands have a really tough time trying to break into the sneaker game. There are simply so many different types of sneakers out there that the competition can be really stiff for the smaller companies and they have to work extra hard to get themselves noticed by the fans. One of the best ways for them to get their name out there is for them to team up with another company for a collaboration that will get both of their names out there at the same time and allow for a crossover of fans. Today we are going to be looking at the latest sneaker to have done that, this is the new Cliché Skateboard x HUF Collection.

The shoe here will come in gray suede with yellow trim along with a white sole as well. Take a look and tell us what oyu think.

When we think about the classic Nike sneakers that we have all come to know and love, it is sometimes hard to think about them in ways that differ from the original models. This is because they have become engrained in our minds to look a certain way and we have just come to accept them like that. Of course sneakerheads with a bit of creativity in them can imagine their favorite sneakers in all sorts of different ways that might shock the average sneakerhead. Today we are going to be looking at a whole collection of sneakers that have been redesigned in a brand new way, this is the new Nike Vac Tech Collection.

The Vac Tech outfits its sneakers in a rough and rugged plastic shell not at all unlike that which you might find on the Nike Air Foamposite sneakers. There are definitely enough versions of it here to let you get a feel of it.

One thing that has definitely become more than obvious to most sneakerheads over the past couple of years is that there is definitely a whole lot of power behind the collaboration. We have seen a whole lot more collaborations over the past few years than we could probably say about the whole remainder of the decade. Some of these collaborations make perfect sense and then again some of them just seem a little funny when you think about them. Today we are going to be taking a look at one that sort of falls into that second category. This is the new Hello Kitty x Vans Footwear Collection.

This pack will feature many different shoes including the Slip-On, Authentic and Sk8 Hi D-Lo and will feature tonal graphics as well as a cool spin on the classic checkerboard print. These will be hitting stores June 1st in limited quantities.

We really like it when a collaboration goes well above and beyond what is expected by most people. Usually when two companies do a collaboration they usually just use one model of sneaker and make a couple or a few colorways of it, call it a day and that usually works for just about everyone. When Steven Alan teams up with Nike though he has some very different plans. They definitely took one model of shoe and made it in a few different colorways and then did that three more times with three different models. This is the new Steven Alan x Nike Sportswear Collection.

This collection will make use of the Nike Air Zoom Toki, Nike Air Zoom Magma, Nike Air Zoom Lava Dome and Nike Talache Low. We really like how these shoes have a sophisticated look to them, but what is your opinion about them?

Although there are definitely the brands out there that are always going to be the most popular in the sneaker world there are always going to be the ones as well that are trying to break their way in. One of the latest brands covered their way into the basketball sneaker industry is the Chinese brand, Li-Ning. While they have definitely had some interesting shoes since they first came out in America they have still yet to gain the full support of the basketball fans. Today we’re going to be looking at their latest collection of shoes, this is the new Li-Ning F2 Footwear Collection.

There will be many different colorways of shoes coming as part of his collection and it will feature the foam frame technology. The upper will be in all one piece and features an injection molded EVA material that allows for the perfect fit for each individual wearer.

When it comes to sneakers and the fans of them are definitely a whole lot of people just throwing around money for the latest releases and the news colorways. That is why we can especially get behind new sneakers that make their profits go to a better purpose and try to help people as well. One of those causes would definitely be the LIVESTRONG series but it is definitely not the only one from Nike that is trying to do something good. Today we are going to be looking at the new Nike N7 collection for the holiday 2010 season.

If you are not familiar with Nike N7, it is a collection designed to promote active and healthy lifestyles and Native American and Aboriginal communities in the USA and Canada. This new collection will come with four new colorways and all the shoes will focus on one of the most basic healthy activities, running.

When talking about different qualities that are important to you from different sneaker companies, one of the most important things is dependability. You want to know that a sneaker company is going to keep you full of high quality releases on a very regular basis. One of the companies that has traditionally been the best at always having something new and interesting for their fans has definitely been Vans. Although they may have slowed down their production a notch as of late they want their fans to know that they still have lots to offer with the Vans Fall/Winter 2010 Collection.

Included in this new collection is more new shoes and colorways than you can shake a stick at. Suede seems to be one of the ongoing trends that is used throughout a majority of these shoes as is the use of darker colors, suited for the colder months.

While most people are probably now focusing on the Skytop II from Supra’s collection, we hope that they haven’t forgotten about the Gunny TUF Collection, which has now just been restocked. We remember how much fans really liked this collection when it first released, although among all of the new releases like the Skytop II and the TK Society we can’t blame them if they have already let this release pass them by. So far what we have seen re-released is a gray version and a black version of the Supra Skytop as well as a black version of the Supra Vaider. These have been spotted again at sneaker retailer Black Sheep, although rumor has it that they will be popping up again at other locations very shortly. All we can do at this point is pray that said rumor is true and that we will be able to get our hands on a pair before they are gone again forever.
