Having had a peek at early pairs at the last Laces Out! a couple months ahead of deliveries. It was clear that Diadora weren't messing around on the quality. Which is really odd, at the minute, "quality" is tossed about willy nilly, mainly to support Nike, in charging us £135 for a shoe we could pick up 3-5 years ago for £90, or even less. But we really do stand by this statement, the quality of the Trident 90s are off the scales

Most recently Diadora have been making huge waves with the N9000 model in the collaboration department, really catching the eyes of most runner enthusiasts. But a model we've had for a while, sitting on JD sales racks, for as little as £10 or so, is about to make a comeback into mainstream sneaker culture as I am now going to call it. Coming in three different colourways, the Titan II really gives you options and versatility for the upcoming spring/summer months, which we are all more than ready for!

"Celebrating 100 Years of Running History" is how Brooks are describing this collaboration with state side heavy hitters BAIT. With the resurgence of one of the US most beloved running brands, Brooks brought back the 80s classic Chariot last year and more notably two big collaborations this year, giving the brand the exposure it needed in this competitive sneaker scene.

Finally, Nike seem to have gotten the whole shape fiasco under control. When a shoe as popular as the Air Max has drifted from its roots, it's safe to say it's excellent news to finally see the shoes shape regressing back to the shape we all know and love, and away from that hideous cliff face toe box.

Reebok are enjoying a very very big year, and this collaboration with Highs and Lows is up there with the best. Not very often we see a nice Australian collaboration, the guys down under should be happy with what their peeps at Highs and Lows have done with this one.

Me and the boys at Men's Restorations have recently completed the restoration of this Nike Air Stab for one of our clients. It consisted of a full mid-sole paint job, they were pretty beat when we recieved them, and I'd like to say we brought them back to life. Hit the jump to see how we got on. 

You might remember seeing these kicks earlier in the year (have a look at our previous post from back in JANUARY) and wondered exactly when they were going to drop. We still don't know that. But at least we've got some new images, courtesy of Sneaker Freaker (as you can tell!). 

Le Coq Sportif really are pushing it hard, like I started to show earlier today in the form of the Sneaker Freaker x Le Coq Sportif. But this just takes the biscuit, so nice.

After the huge success of the "Three Brothers Pack" editions earlier in the year, Solebox have decided to revisit the classic Saucony Shadow 5000 silhouette for this amazing new collaboration named "The Lucanid". 

Coming off the back of the Green Gorge release of the Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka earlier in the week, Nike have now announced two more colour-ways that are fresh for summer 2013.

To be honest, and I know I'll get a battering for this, I'm not a massive fan of the Air Max 97. But this release is special, I mean just look at it!

The Nike Free Powerlines series was a massive hit with sneaker-heads around the world, and now it's back with it's well deserved sequel, the +2.

I was instantly intrigued by this pack, how can you not be when it's a Concepts x New Balance pack, constantly producing great models.

The Roshe Run contiunes to dominate at the moment with strong release after strong release, and this pack shows that it's not going to stop just yet. This time in a slightly different styling, this FB pack features new materials and a different placement for the Swoosh.

BlackRainbow of Paris have teamed up with Puma on this special edition of the R698, one of my favourite Puma silhouette's, and one which always evades my purchase.

Yes, I know Baywood Green sounds like a enclosed village, but it's the next in the long line of J.Crew x New Balance collaborations, this time on the classic 1400 silhouette. 

Saucony recently released their pack of 2013 Grid 9000's which caused quite a stir in the world of  a sneakerhead (including me, I got my hands on them for sure), and now they've released this lovely edition of the Master Control in Grey and Green.

I am a lover of Puma kicks, especially this model, it's a work of art. The Trinomic XT1 Plus was originally released in 1990, the Retro edition is finally here 23 years later.
