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

Here at MensNeeds, were massive fans of low key. And this is the top of the lot really, low key colourway, on a stupidly underrated model. We like that stuff here.

In recent times, Asics have been domination on the collaboration front, of course, why wouldn't they be? With the collaboration king Ronnie Fieg taking the leads, bringing unknown silhouettes, to most, into the spot light.

After the big hit of Air Trainer we had yesterday, it's pretty clear Nike have set their sites on big things for the silhouette. Today we now have that cemented with this upcoming release of a beautifully worked 'Gum Pack' on the Air Trainer III.


Over the past couple of years, ASICS has really cemented it;s name in Sneaker Culture as well as being the brand seemingly doing the most collaborative work. This is a great way of giving us what we want, in plush materials and killer colourways. This time; ASICS have teamed up with Barcelona's very own LimitEDition to bring us the SurrEDaliste.

"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.

Not often do we see the Nike ACG Wildwood, and I'm almost sure we haven't seen it in PRM form before now, nor have we seen it this simple, but it really is special.

Thinking back two or three years ago, Sneaker events were almost unheard of, especially in the UK. With the growth of the Sneaker Community in the past two years, events such as Laces Out!, 6ACRE and Crepe City have burst on to the scene, giving collectors and enthusiasts a place to meet up, buy, sell, trade and have a good time with like minded people.


Here we have a very anticipated collaboration between the good people over at Sneaker Freaker, and Mr. Dassler's infamous three striped brand of Adidas.

You might remember our interview with Dream But Do Not Sleep a couple of months back, and today we've got news of their Autumn/Winter 2013 collection thats available to buy now.

Here at Men's Needs we haven't been a massive fan of the AF1 as of late. But it looks like they've pulled this one out of the bag. Absolute summer masterpiece. 

You don't see much of the Nike Cortez these days, but when you do it's a good day. This time they've spiced things up a bit with the addition of a Hawaiian Flower Print.

Today the next in a long line of Reebok 30th Anniversary celebration collaborations has been announced, this one being Solebox x Reebok, and the silhouette being the Classic Leather.

White Mountaineering do love a good collaboration with a running brand as of late. This time it's the turn of the Saucony Courageous silhouette. 

The Nike Free Inneva Woven is causing quite a stir at the minute, and I don't see the hype slowing down in the slightest. Today we've got another new colour-way for yourselves, I think it's one of the best. 

You will never ever become bored of the Roshe Run silhouette when Nike re-invent it constantly for our pleasure. This time they've included a canvas toe box and woven mid-foot panel.
Adidas have released this edition of the ZX700 which features a gum sole and perforated upper, it comes in two colour-ways too.

Adidas are hitting the releases hard right now (BOOST being the main thing), and the Phantom seems to be big in Adidas' plans.


The Dark Obs model of the ever amazing Powerlines +2 series has finally been shown off to the world. And wow, isn't it nice.


Finally! Nike Air Huarache OG (only about 10 years late). This time with no Free sole shit, proper OG Huarache's.
