We’ve seen some nice shoes from the 2008 New Balance Fall/Winter collection. This New Balance 576 Premium pack is part of that collection and has a nice laidback vibe to it. Using a combination of European suede and leather to go along with earthy tones, these New Balance kicks will fit just about any wardrobe.
One colorway features blacks and grays, while the other mostly uses varying shades of brown. Look for these sneakers at online retailers soon. Via High Snobiety.

Nike Air Force 1 and the French rapper, Booba, have worked together to create this shoe. This red shoe has an upper with overlaying graphics. This shoe will be released on Dec. 6. The quantity is limited to 176 pairs and sold exclusively at Booba’s boutique Boulbi & Co. in Boulogne.
The toe box is in smooth leather and the graphics provide an interesting pictorial look. The red shoe lace over a white tongue looks good. The tip of the tongue has the number 09. The midsection of the shoe is almost covered in the pattern. The Nike swoosh is in plain red leather or else it would become hidden in the upper. The inner lining is red, while the inner sole is white with a graphic. The same graphic is on the outsole.
Booba’s logo is on the lace lock. The white midsole complements the tongue and inner sole. This sneaker looks good. The strongest feature is the overlaying graphics. The shoe is made classy and stylish for going out. Although it is of a red color, the shoe carries enough sophistication to be used as a formal shoe too.

Hektik Kicks was highlighted recently on MyAirShoes for a pair of Tazmanian Devil customs. The designer’s previous project was a pair of custom Air Force Ones modeled on two of Marvel Comics’ most beloved characters. The Captain America/Incredible Hulk Forces were found on Hektik’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.
The detail work on these comic-inspired Forces are impressive for a young designer. The right shoe features a fantastic depiction of the Incredible Hulk during one of his rages, screaming out at anyone who looks at these customs. The left shoe shows Captain America holding up his red/white/blue shield in defense of his fellow superheroes.
Hektik thought outside of the box when adding some finishing touches to these Forces. The Air logo on the outsole matches the color of the superhero; the right shoe has a green Air logo while the left shoe logo matches Captain America’s deep blue uniform. These colors are matched further to the interior swoosh to put the cherry on top of these customs. I am a huge fan of Hektik’s work on these shoes because the characters stand out against a simple white background rather than competing with other design elements.

The latest pack from the Nike Tennis Classic “ACG Inspired” is for the Spring of 2009. They will be sold at Nike retailers soon.
Let’s look at the white colorway. The toe box is a separate section that is joined at the seams to the midsection. The middle portion has a few more seams to create a subtle pattern on the shoe. The shoe lace is long and wide reaching. It gives the impression that the midsection has been squeezed into a long, narrow portion. The shoe lace is like a rope. The shoe lace lock and the braces are made from the same pattern of blue and white striped bands. The tag at the tip of the tongue is color coordinated. The tongue has an orange colored rim at the end as an accent. The heel has a striking segment in grey colored patterned leather. The inner lining is blue colored.
Now, its over to the black colorway. It looks identical to the white colored counterpart. This shoe looks attractive as the blue accents are outstanding. The tag at the tip of the tongue has green colored lettering. The outsole is blue on a black midsole so the effect is really concentrated.

Matt Francois from Sole Brother Customs was asked by the brain trust behind Digg to customize some Air Force Ones in honor of the website’s recent success. For those who have been in a cave for the last few years, Digg is the Internet’s largest social news website. Sole Brother’s Digg Air Force Ones can be found at the designer’s blog linked here.
Sole Brother created five pair of Digg Air Force Ones for the people behind this innovative website. The design features the blue/green colorway of the Digg main page. The defining element of the Digg Air Force Ones is the series of glow-in-the-dark Digg logos placed on the toe box and middle panels. When the lights go out, Kevin Rose, Jay Adelson and others working for Digg can keep their website in mind.
Matt Francois also created a pair of Digg Air Force Ones for himself with Rose and Adelson providing their signatures. The great minds behind Digg may be focused on keeping the site moving upward on the Internet but there are few better ways to promote the brand in the real world than custom sneakers. While these sneakers are limited editions and unavailable for sale, you can reach Sole Brother Customs at brothersole@solebrothers.com for your own custom needs.

Nike Tier0 Court Force High Lux is the latest Court Force High Lux pack that will be released from Nike soon. This pack has two Court Force Hi Lux shoes. One shoe is all black with a white sole. The other shoe is light grey with a white sole. The shoe upper uses the finest materials available. There are nubuck and ostrich leather. The colorway is unicolor to keep the look of the sneakers very clean.
Let’s look at the grey colored Court Force High Lux. The toe box is lined by a series of perforations, along the seam with the mudguard. The first pair of shoe lace holes is braced by white colored rings. The nice, thick, shoe lace is the same color as the upper. The midsection has a few rows of perforations to add details and ventilation for the shoe. The shoe upper is made of different panels of leather. The tongue is in leather with an embossed logo at the tip.
I think grey and black are the trendy colors for this winter’s shoes. For people who dislike black, the grey is a better alternative.
