| Nike Air Max LeBron VII “Cool Grey” Pack Posted: 10 Feb 2010 12:58 PM PST 
We’ve been seeing these three colorways of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII for some time now. From speculation to confirmation, all three have drawn a good bit of attention form readers as to when and where they’ll be available. We can now answer both questions, as they’ll ship out on March 5th, but are available for Pre-Order now. All three are reportedly an Eastbay exclusive, though we know the Cool Grey & White pair will hit physical store locations later this year. In this threesome, Varsity Red, Varsity Royal and Orange can be found on the outsole, Swoosh and laces, while Cool Grey patent and Flywire fills out the remainder of the upper.

| Sixpack x PMKFA x DC Life Double Label Collection Posted: 10 Feb 2010 11:58 AM PST  DC Life partnered up with French brand Sixpack and graphic designer PMFKA for this Double Label Collection pack, which feature two of the lifestyle brand’s most popular silhouettes. As you can see, grey perforated leather is the material of choice for the majority of both sneakers. The low Sector 7, like its partner Admiral Hi, features the hole-filled material all over. Near the collar on both shoe, a special “double pill” design was also put in place. Both shoes feature a special purple ribbon heel tab over the Sixpack logo. The translucent sole of the low reveals slight bits of purple, stemming from the underside graphic. The pack also includes two t-shirts and a New Era fitted designed by Six Feet Ahead.

| Puma Basket “Drive Thru” Pack Posted: 10 Feb 2010 11:28 AM PST  Puma has applied a number of unique inspirations to its sneakers with the most recent being the Basket II “Soda Pop” Pack. Now, they use their original Basket model to pay tribute to some of the well-known fast food restaurants in China. This particular pack is comprised of three peculiar Basket model colorways done up in leather. Colorways include Purple/Yellow/White (which is said to be the Taco Bell pair), blue/yellow/white, and white/red/blue. The latter colorway features an vintage-like midsole, while the other two are finished with a clean, traditional white midsole. No word yet on which fast food chain the other two sneakers represent; however, stay tuned for more information. Meanwhile, click here to view additional photos. | Read the rest of Puma Basket “Drive Thru” Pack

| Nike Air Classic BW & Air Max 90 Black/White-Blue Posted: 10 Feb 2010 10:58 AM PST  Two of Nike’s classic running silhouettes have been spotted in matching colorways. The Air Classic BW and Air Max 90 have long been favorites of many ‘heads, with the former popping up more and more often as of late. The 90 sports black leather along the mudguard, quarter panel and midfoot, while white mesh fills in at the toe box and on the collar. Bright blue appears on the midfoot plastic accents, as well as the Air Max window surround. Switching things up, the BW relies on white leather and black mesh for its build. The Swoosh, collar and liner all utilize the same shade of blue as the 90. Expect both of these sometime later this year. | Read the rest of Nike Air Classic BW & Air Max 90 Black/White-Blue

We now have additional information regarding a sneaker that wasn’t shown in the aforementioned spring 2010 lineup. Clae will unleash an all-white colorup of their Parker model later this year. Its 100% white colored upper is comprised of leather. However, the toe box, side panels, collar area and tongue all feature perforated leather as opposed to the regular leather seen on the rest of the sneaker. This is defintely a change of pace for you white on white Air Force 1 lovers. As stated earler, you will be able to purchase this sneaker later this year for $110 at Clae’s online store. | Read the rest of Clae Parker White
