It has become quite evident over the years that Nike draws inspiration from a plethora of sources when it comes to their sneakers, and this time around, the unofficial inspiration for this Blazer and Dunk is the epitome of a feminine American character, Strawberry Shortcake. The Blazer hosts a white base with a yellow swoosh and a unique, multicolored floral pattern on the upper, while the Dunk High yields a white upper with soft pink, sprinter green, and sunbeam accents. The Strawberry Shortcake Pack is now available at select retailers for around $70 a sneaker.

Just earlier today we informed you that a pair of the Nike Air Force 1 low commemorating St. Patrick’s Day this year has already been made available for purchase from Nike retailers- but it only comes in grade school sizes. However, we have now ran into the following pictures of another Nike Air Force 1 low whose colorway definitely SEEMS to pay homage to the Irish holiday. The Nike Air Force 1 low pictured here sports a sort of reverse colorway from the grade school pair- with the upper being done in predominantly green leather and mesh. White accents can be found on the midsole, patented Nike swoosh, and ankle lining. With St. Patrick’s Day less than ten days away, and with select overseas retailers already having these in stock, we can only hope to start seeing this release in Nike retailers stateside rather soon, despite no clear reference within this pair to St. Patrick’s Day.

All of us loved Elmo at some point in our life. So this design should be taken as eye candy to everyone. I must say that the designer did a perfect job on these, as every detail is perfect. The base product of this shoe is a plain all-white Nike Air Force 1 Low. The designer places Elmo red all over the uppers. Colorful dots that come in all different colors pop, and brings out the shoe even more. I think most of us know the most notable and eye catching feature. Elmo himself jumps right on the sneaker, and has a great smile indeed. If you wear these sneakers in a crowd, you will definitely be the center of attention.

Dora The Explorer is a favorite among little kids. With kids mostly watching this hit television show, bigger kids and adults have no interest in the show what so ever. So this design make no sense to me, unless the designer plans to get to the little kids. But i think these might be a little big on the children’s feet. This Nike Air Force 1 Low features a white base. The shoe comes with three colors. Purple, black, and a shade of pinkish orange. Dora The Explorers TV characters all jump right onto the sneaker. The characters include Dora Marquez, Boots the Monkey, Backpack, and Map. This design will mostly only be attracting to the little kids, but some adults might dig these.

Back in the beginning of January we showed you a sneak peek of a newer team Jordan silhouette known as the Air Jordan Accolades. Now we have the first look at an Air Jordan Accolades in a white/black-cement grey colorway that makes this team Jordan model look even better than at first. The sole of this sneaker obviously borrows cues from the Air Jordan X, while the cement grey on the heel of this pair is sure to remind us of the Air Jordan III. While the upper on this pair of Air Jordan Accolades comes in predominantly perforated white leather, cement grey covers the heel and shoelace eyelets. Black is then seen along the mudguard and ankle lining. Let us know what you think of this colorway and the Air Jordan Accolades in general, now that more pictures and colorways are bound to circulate.

Adidas revived their Marathon 80 model in this modern Marathon 10 shoe design. This is perfect to serve as a good pair of training shoes especially for marathon competitions since it only weighs a whopping 10 oz, hence it was called 10. The upper part is made of mesh and the sole is made out of the adiPRENE technology.

This is perfect for the marathoner’s need for breathability, cushioning and featherweight. It is available in black/white/aluminium and blue/core yellow/black and even in red/blue/light gray colorways for only $80.

For those who dont know, this Air Jordan Melo M6 was NOT designed by anyone from Jordan Brand. It was designed by a 17-year-old kid named Austin Jermacans. The shoe was designed for Carmelo Anthony, and was actually worn by Melo in game a couple of nights ago. Well for those of you who loved the design, you have slim chances of getting these. On June 1st, just 3,000 pairs of this Melo M6 will be available exclusively at House of Hoops, Niketown, and Eastbay. These are going to be hard to come by, so you should start planing now. Let us know if your gonna try to cop these.

It is become safer and safer to say that no other single basketball silhouette has made a bigger splash on the hardwood floor this NBA season than the Nike Air Max Lebron VII. Because of the vast array of different colorways used on this basketball sneaker model and the plethora of events it has been used to commemorate, the Nike Air Max Lebron VII seems to always come up in sneaker conversation. Earlier in the season, Lebron James chose to display his basketball expertise while sporting a mismatching pair of Nike Air Max Lebron VII Hardwood Classics whose colorways were basically the inverse of each other (and happen to go pretty darn well with a Knicks jersey). We also saw him sport another Nike Air Max Lebron VII in a dark red hue that matched another one of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Hardwood Classic uniforms. Now we’d like to show you some up-close shots of all three Hardwood Classics mentioned here for your viewing pleasure. Should any of these see a release date at some future point in time, believe that SneakerFiles will keep you informed.

This week the Nike Blazers have come storming back into the sneaker newscast with a “stone” and a black pair of the Nike Blazer Vintage high as two of the highlights. Now we’d like to inform you that another grey Nike Blazer AC high (pictured here) has recently been made available from select Nike retailers. This pair sports a predominantly grey upper- and while the toe cap, heel tab, Nike swoosh, and set of straps come in grey patent leather, the rest of the upper is covered in grey 3M material. As per usual, the sole is completely white, and offers a bit of contrast to the sea of grey. Look out for these to continue hitting select Nike retailers in the coming weeks.

We all know that Saturdays are usually big release days for Jordan Brand, especially as far as this year has gone. So tomorrow, Saturday, March 6th, there will be some big name Air Jordan releases to be on the look-out for. The highly controversial Air Jordan Force Fusion line gets another addition to it with the AJ Force Fusion VIII in the popular black/bright concord-aquatone-dark charcoal colorway that has been nicknamed “aqua.” That pair will be retailing for $140 in adult sizes and should be pretty easy to acquire. The Air Jordan 6 Rings “Motorsports,” however, is much more coveted despite the $175 retail price tag for adult sizes. Make sure you know how you’re going to go about finding your sneaker gems before it’s too late.
