Wow! Always a pleasure to write on Nike sneakers for sports other than basketball and skateboarding. The Nike Mercurial Vapor IX created for Cristiano Ronaldo is as colorful as a bird from the rainforests of Brazil.

The sneakers feature a lightweight Teijin upper with speed control technology; Asymmetric Vapor Traction pattern on the outsole; perforated sock-liner for low-profile cushioning; and a low-profile toe box that will surely help Ronaldo get under the ball to control it swiftly. Take a look at the images; these are available now for $230.

Here’s another Stussy Deluxe x Converse creation; this time the two come together to work on the X-PRO OX for a Summer 2013 release. We get two colorways, navy and olive camo. It’s actually amazing the things that you can do with canvas.

Throw in metal eyelets, white mid-soles with rubber foxing, rubber toecap, visible contrast stitching, and voila! an eye-pleasing new design. These sneakers are scheduled for a May 3, 2013 release.

The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star “Leopard” is a first; a leopard print for the iconic silhouette has long been pending but it’s here now! It did take time in coming, the whole of last year saw so many animal prints being released.

Available now for EUR 74.61. The rosettes on a canvas background with a brown filling are definitely reminiscent of a cat’s coat. Leopard? I don’t know. Anyway, the signature logo patch is present on the side. The construction sits on a textured rubber sole. The laces are threaded through metal eyelets. A padded footbed and toecap ensure comfort and durability.

Unless you were one of the few and fortunate to score a pair of Nike Air Yeezy 2s in 2012, you know that aside from dropping a stack of cash (upwards of $2,000), all that’s left to hope for is a pair of kicks dressed in the trademark “Yeezy colors.” With the Nike Roshe Run FB and Nike Air Max 1 FB being released in a color scheme that’s more or less “Yeezy-esque,” we found ourselves wondering what other silhouettes are due for a Yeezy-up.

So, in our rundown, we make some subtle changes to a few NSW models that we wouldn’t mind seeing Nike release. Check it out, and let us know what sneaker should be next up for a “Yeezy” treatment.

Alright, you might be on the fence as to whether the Nike Roshe Run FB was also a subtle nod to the Yeezy 2, but with the newest colorway of the Nike Solarsoft Moccasin featuring a texture similar to that seen on the original black and pink Yeezy 1, Nike should have just thrown on a glow-in-the-dark sole.
