Topshop and Adidas Originals have collaborated once again.


Following a successful collaboration that released last year, Adidas Originals links up with UK fashion label Topshop once again for a collection of footwear and apparel. Much like last year's output, the clothes marry Adidas' sportswear design cues with Topshop's street fashion sensibilities. But this time around, the Adidas Superstar takes center stage in terms of footwear. The shell-toed sneaker gets a couple of new colorways: one with a white upper sitting on top of a clear sole, and a cracked metallic silver look as well. Anyone interested in shopping the collection can make a run now to select Topshop stores.

Vans x Zio Ziegler Footwear Collection

Vans, the California skate footwear institution keeps it close to home with this collaboration with San Francisco-based artist Zio Ziegler.

Aside from the walls of galleries and the offices of some of the biggest tech firms in the world, Ziegler's vibrant art style finds a new home on a Vans collection that includes an Authentic, Slip-On and Sk8-Hi. Whether you're an art lover or simply interested in a new pair of loud kicks for the summer, you can pick up a pair now at select Vans concept stores.

Uniqlo Sneakers are Coming


The day has finally arrived. Uniqlo, the Japanese fast fashion institution finally comes out with sneakers. Sure, they've dropped a few before, but none on the massive scale at which the brand operates nowadays. The styles themselves aren't anything truly groundbreaking - just riffs on classic canvas slip-on and plimsoll shapes in a number of colors. But in the middle of a Philippine summer, the last thing you need on your feet is more heat. Hopefully these styles make their way soon to a Uniqlo near you.

Russell Westbrook finally gets a signature shoe.

Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder isn't one for subtlety. When he's not lighting up opposing teams on the basketball court, he catches eyes with his off-court style. In a rather fitting move by the folks at Jordan Brand, the dynamic point guard and self-proclaimed "Fashion King" of the NBA finally gets a shoe to call his own. However, from the looks of it, the Air Jordan Westbrook 0 is a lifestyle shoe and certainly not one for use on the hardwood. The actual silhouette is pretty clean. A mid-top done with premium uppers sitting nicely on top of a vulcanized sole. D-Ring eyelets and a ghillie lacing system round out the design.

Based on information making its way around the internet, the Air Jordan Westbrook 0 should be making its debut sometime in October. Check back for more information and official looks as they surface.

Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 "Silverware"


If Cristiano Ronaldo's previous signature Mercurial football cleat wasn't shiny enough, then you're in for a treat with this one. Inspired by the trophies to be won at the end of domestic and regional campaigns, the "Silverware" Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 brings back the shine in a big way. Silver Flyknit uppers are treated to the shimmer effect, set against a obsidian Dynamic Fit Collar. Accents of black and orange round out the design by adding just the right amount of contrast in both the Swoosh and CR7 branding. If your game on the pitch is as flashy as Cristiano Ronaldo's, or if you just want to make a statement on your next weekend kick-around, score a pair now available in limited quantities at BootCamp.

Adidas Football "Black" Pack


In direct contrast to Nike's latest offering of football boots, the design minds at Adidas Football have draped the brand's flagship cleats in black to make a different kind of statement on the pitch.

Air Jordan 15lab12


While there's no official word on from Jordan Brand regarding these samples shoes that hit the net, a good amount of online chatter has been quick to tag them as an upcoming release in the Jordan Lab series. For those not in the loop, the Jordan Lab Series is an ongoing effort that takes iconic elements from one Jordan signature and places them on another retro model. In this case, the woven detailing of the Air Jordan 15 finds its way onto the upper of the Air Jordan 12. While most Jordans in the Lab series have been pretty hit or miss, it's hard to go wrong with a white shoe. The gold accents are a nice little cherry on top, too. If you're feeling them, keep tabs on the blog as more information should be coming down the pipeline eventually.
