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

For most footwear mad folk, you may have read or heard of Trainers by Neal Heard, which is the first and most iconic footwear book to date. The most recent issue is just one of the many updated versions Neal has put out.

What do you do in the summer in England? You sit indoors, watching the rain run down the window staring at your suede shoes that you've now got to put away.

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.

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!

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.

"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.

Weather you've been following Mens Needs Blog for a while or your relatively new to our posts, you will probably know how much we love an under hyped classic, and this is exactly what Adidas have brought back in the Adidas SL 72, back in its original colours, like nothing else has changed.

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.

Asics has been dominating the sneaker scene recently, with massive help from highly sought after collaborations, Thus making Asics an even more present force within the Sneaker community this past year or so. 

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.
