Having trouble finding a great tennis classic shoe? Well Vans has added one to their growing stable of shoes. The 31 CA, which looks surprising similar to the Nike tennis classic, has just popped up on the web. The shoes are available now in two colors; grey and black, but each shoe has tan leather on the toe and heel; with the tan leather, the grey color is far superior. What do you think of the newest Vans? Check out more detailed pics after the break.

fragment design x Nike Zoom All Court
I am so glad to see so many simple shoes coming out this year. By simple, I mean one to two colors on the shoe. The upcoming collab between fragment design x Nike is actually what I am talking about. The shoes come in 4 different colors; red, green, and black with an all white canvas base. The shoes look absolutely amazing, but it’s going to be hard to keep these fresh, because they are mostly white canvas. Which means hard to clean and collects dirt; I have a pair of canvas sweets and they find dirt faster they other fabrics. I applaud fragment for just putting their logo on the tongue to keeping the shoe simple. Look for these in February at select retailers, expect a limited release. What do you think of the latest collaboration? Detailed pics right after the break.
Diesel x adidas Originals Collection
This is a surprising collaboration. Only surprising because Diesel makes shoes. They don’t make great shoes, so it kind of makes sense. No matter what the reason, this is one awesome collab. Diesel chose to collab on 5 different shoe; 2 mid Forums, 2 Stan Smiths and a zx700. The shoes are being offered at Diesel Flagship stores worldwide. Diesel has added their signature rivets and is using some pretty bold color choices. My favorite so far is the zx700 in black and green and the Forum with the red strap. I am kind of surprised there was no denim covered sneakers; considering Diesel is known for denim. What do you think of the Diesel x adidas collaboration? More detailed pics after the break.

Nike Lunarmax+ Vortex
The Lunar Series is the newest Nike running sensation. I purchased the Lunarglides last year and they are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Now Nike has stepped up their game by adding an airbag to the lunar sole mix. The first colorway to pop up was the varsity purple and black, but it wasn’t until the dark grey and volt that I really got interested. Also these have been constructed with a hidden seam, part of Nike’s new design standards. I think I have found my newest running shoe. What do you think of the Lunarmax+ Vortex? More detailed pics after the break.
Nike SB Stefan Janoski 2011 Preview
The new preview shots of the 2011 Stefan Janoski collection are surfacing on the internet. It’s no shock that the Janoski is my favorite SB and the colors releasing are not too shabby. There are 3 new colorways in the classic low sneakers and 1 new mid release in a pewter green. I especially like the off white and red color shoe. Which is your favorite of the 4 new shoes? More detailed pics after the break.

adidas Questar Reflective
The 80’s running shoe is coming back in a big way. With Nike releasing their all there new vintage running shoes and New Balance releasing all their retro running shoes; I don’t blame adidas for throwing their hat in the ring. The Questar is a great hat to be throwing into the ring. Most people would run when the hear the colors are red,yellow and blue, but they really work well with this shoe. Check it out for yourself if you don’t believe. What do you think of the Questar? More Pics after the break.
Nike SB Blazer Low Midnight Navy/Varsity Maize
Hey University of Michigan fans! Are you looking for a shoe to support your team? Well look no further Wolverine fans. The new Nike SB Blazer low now comes in Navy and Maize, just like your team colors. Just like my Air Max1 Skull Pack, which comes in Gator colors, are my go to shoe to wear on game day. I would rather wear a shoe that has the team colors, but does not have an affiliation with the team. What do you think of the Blazer Low? More pics after the break.
