New Balance MRT580 Revlite Japan Pack

New Balance decks out the 580 silhouette in a number of fresh colorways just in time for the fall season. Taking inspiration from Japanese art, the MRT580 "Japan Pack" adds vibrant punches of color across a mix of suedes, mesh, and reflective materials. Each release sports the updated Revlite sole, which lightens the shoe's weight and adds a plush ride that works for all day wear.

Anyone interested in picking up a pair can score them at New Balance stores such as Alabang, Glorietta, and TriNoma. Colorways may be subject to availability.

Nike Basketball - #PlayPinoy

With the FIBA World Cup underway in Spain, Nike Basketball unveils a beautiful ad that shows just how deep the Filipino love for the sport runs. When you think about it, basketball could be a religion in these parts. Fervent devotion, congregation, a bit of a performance element, the signs are all there. And just like the church and state, our love for the sport is inseparable - no matter how hard we try. 

Press play and see if you can't get caught up in a wave of national pride. Don't forget to to tune in to local channels to show your support for Team Gilas Pilipinas as they push on with their FIBA World Cup Campaign. 

Nike SB Dunk High Premium "31st State"

Damn, it must be good to be Theotis Beasley.

Another classic from the Nike Skateboarding archive gets re-imagined as a high-top.

Following the release of the "Tiffany Diamond" Dunk Highs earlier this year, the much-beloved "Cali/31st State" SB Dunks will hit retail in high-top form. The release is as much a natural extension of the low-tops as they can get. The colorway remains loyal to the California flag, and the star detailing finds its home on the ankle areas.

With California's deep connection to skateboarding (and the status of the Cali Dunks among SB collectors), expect this release to sell fast. These dunks will be hitting nike.com and select Nike SB retailers in limited quantities on August 30. No word if any local stockists will be carrying them, but that information will be relayed as soon as word comes through.

Will the trend of re-imagining classic Nike SB sneakers in different cuts carry on? Only time will tell. Check out more looks after the jump.

How The Adidas #miZXFlux App Works

This weekend, the Adidas miZXFlux app will release on both iOS and Android platforms.

Check out the video after the jump.

The FILA Grant Hill III Will Return.

FILA keeps the 90's basketball sneaker resurgence strong as they're primed to re-launch Grant Hill's third signature sneaker. After the re-launch of Hill's two previous FILA sneakers was met with much enthusiasm from many sneakerheads, the Grant Hill III (Now called the FILA 97) looks to keep the retro love going well into the end of the year.

There's no word yet on whether these shoes will hit local stores. But since Grant Hill's first two shoes did, it doesn't seem like a stretch thinking the 97 won't be too hard to cop. The release date has been set for October 10.

Adidas Originals x Rita Ora Footwear Collection

The Adidas Originals line is no stranger to collaborations with high-profile creatives such as artists, musicians, and fashion designers. This time, one of the latest personalities to link up with the brand is British singer Rita Ora. Aside from releasing a collection of apparel, the songstress extends her design sensibilities with a small line of footwear as well. All shoes in the collection are done up in black with diamond snakeskin textures, and complemented by yellow and glow-in-the-dark accents. Aside from a ZX Flux 2.0, included in the small run are a couple of high-tops that go heavy on old-school basketball and high fashion sneaker aesthetics.

Look for the Adidas Originals x Rita Ora collection to be available both in-store and online starting August 21.

Y-3 Yohji Boost Black/White

Designer Yohji Yamamoto's Y-3 label released their take on the Adidas Pure Boost sneaker a short while back. Named the Yohji Boost, the upper is constructed with a lightweight breathable mesh that sports a black and white pattern that flows well into the Adidas Three-Stripe branding. A semi-rigid suede heel and tongue provide bits of extra support while a white midsole constructed with Adidas' signature Boost technology provides ample levels of comfort. As these sneakers are in high demand, interested buyers can pick up a pair at Y-3 Rockwell before the extremely limited stock sells out.

Nike KD7 "Calm Before The Storm"

Kevin Durant may be in the midst of a contract situation regarding his shoe sponsors, but that hasn't stopped Nike from steadily rolling out his latest signature sneaker. The newest rendition to hit retail stores is nicknamed the "Calm Before The Storm". Taking inspiration from the unpredictability of the forces of nature, designer Leo Chang brings to life a sneaker that fits the dynamic nature of reigning NBA MVP's game. Dominantly decked out in grey with contrasting pink accents, the shoe is said to represent a tranquil sky before the onset of a powerful storm. Clearly a nod to the "Weatherman" theme that's been running through Kevin Durant's sneaker line.

Will Nike and Kevin Durant's run stop at 7 sneakers? Only time will tell. But if you're feeling this one, it will be available at Titan and other Nike Basketball stores starting this weekend.
