The Alife Kennedy High is out in two colorways for fall – light mustard brown and black. These shoes are part of the Alife Fall/Winter footwear collection. This model was first introduced last season and was well received.

These shoes are created from premium leather and feature a gum sole with a look similar to the Clarks Wallabee. If you are looking to pick up a pair of leisure shoes for fall, these are a good choice. Flauge has both colorways in stock now. Via High Snobiety.

Nike seems to be making a lot of shoes now that use a Tartan design. A Tartan design, for people who don’t know is a series of colored stripes. The color way is mostly black all around, along with red and blue stripes around the toe of the shoe. Nike has also added a very light blue to the laces of the shoe which accent the shoe very well with the bottom toe of the sole. These shoes are avaliable now.

This is a Nike 1World sneaker that shows the campaign created by Nike. Nike will go around the world to work with different people to create new shoes. This model is the product of the project with Daisuke Matsukaza, a Japanese baseball player. The basic model that is used is the Air Force One.

The result is a white/ orange colorway for a new Air Force 1. One special feature is the use of white pony hair. The orange leathers are from exotic leathers. To reflect the Japanese culture, a dargon motive was chosen to be placed on the heel and the inner sole. Daisuke Matsukaza plays with the Boston Red Sox under his number 18. Thus the design uses the number 18. This sneaker will be released at a later date.

The toe box is white colored. The mudguard, midsection and the Nike swoosh are also white colored. The shoe lace is orange, threaded through a panel of orange colored shoe lace holes. The heel is a large segment of orange exotic leather. The back tab is white. There is a collar of orange leather lining the ankle of the shoe. The orange midsole and outsole make this a bright looking shoe.

JBF’s latest custom sneakers posted on Nike Talk (linked here) fell short of my expectations based on his prior designs. The designer wanted to turn a pair of blue/gray Nike Dunks into custom sneakers with black pinstripes. JBF notes in his Nike Talk post that the original design involved a clean set of pinstripes running around the shoe.

The problem is that JBF’s pinstripes weren’t executed effectively. JBF tried turning lemons into lemonade by dubbing his Nike Dunks the “Barbed Wires” because of the little black spots punctuating these stripes.

While I admire JBF’s hard work, I think that the black stripes are too precise to be barbed wire and too sloppy to be pinstripes. My larger complaint about these sneakers is the use of angled stripes running through the front panel. Even if JBF was able to create smooth pinstripes, the angled stripes would look out of place. The designer is capable of producing great custom sneakers but the Barbed Wire Dunks cannot be placed in this category.

The Decade Low was a hardwood classic from the 80s and it’s back again as part of the adidas Originals Craftsmanship pack. These shoes will be released later this month.

This pack takes a traditonal colorway and upgrades it with perforated leather, a thicker toe box and other nice touches. Check out more photos of both of these styles after the jump, via Hypbeast. The white/blue version is simple and clean, while the brown/green edition offers a terrific color scheme for fall.

Dwayne Wade, just coming off of knee surgery, was one of the best surprises and assets to Team USA in the Olympic Tournament. For most of the Games the US had little trouble dealing with opponents, but Wade’s 27 point in the Final was quite valuable to the team. For the entire tournament Wade laced up in the Converse Wade Team Signature, but for the Finals he broke out the new Converse Wade 4 – but only for pre-game practice. This colorup was just like the other United We Rise edition sneakers worn in the Olympics by Team USA. Overall the shoes aren’t bad, but not nearly as spectacular as his game play in the NBA (when his knees work) or in the Olympics.
