Being massive fans of the 2014 make up of the new age runner, its no surprise, we are fans of this wonderful colourway.

Most of us who wake up each morning, check their phones, check Instagram and Twitter like its the news, will have seen the BAIT Splash City Gel Lyte V's. 

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.

With a rich heritage in the history of Fell running, hailing from Bolton UK, Walsh have teamed up with Universal Works of London town, to bring us one of the cleanest collaborations in a long while, with no forced themes, just wonderful materials, colours and impeccable shape.

We have all probably seen this shoe a fair few times, weather its on Instagram, Twitter or the many other Menswear blogs. But we thought we would bring you a few images and words on the second installment of the Feature High Roller Pack.

As we all know, Adidas' Consortium collective have been putting great twists and plush materials over your favourite Adidas make ups for a while now, and have been doing a very good job of it. Only right that the collective get to celebrate a 10 year anniversary along side the 45th of the Superstar, a whole 10 years on from the Superstars 35th birthday, believe it or not!

It really doesn't feel like long ago when we had Superstars filling the street courtesy of the 35th Anniversary, yet here we are, in the midst of the icons 45th anniversary, and ready for the influx of collaborations and limited editions.

Collaborations have been coming thick and fast. And when they're done this well, on such a classic EQT model, you cant help but to stare. Absolute show stoppers from the Bait team out in USA with the colour scheme paying homage to the Statue of Liberty, and without any thought, representing the chilling temperatures out in the concrete jungle this time of year.


Back in October, we brought you info on the Fragment Design x Nike Sock Dart in the Olive colour-way, and as with the other Fragment Design Nike collabs this season, we have multiple colour-ways.

Of course news of the ZX Flux Weave GORE-TEX to most isn't really news. However, we do love the GORE-TEX Flux Weave and we just know Adidas fans all over will be picking up one or two colour-ways from the pack for more than one reason.


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. 

Collab, Collab, Collab. Saucony are showing no signs of slowing up on the Collaboration fronts. And Extra Butter are keeping the Space theme going with this Shadow 6000.

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.

The year so far seems to have been a whizz of collaboration and hugely anticipated releases. So we thought we'd take a step back out of the world of hype, and bring you this Air Max Light which is just a standard in-house design part of the Essential range. 

Just over a month ago, Adidas re-released a classic, followed by a string of collaborations. A few days ago now we took a little look at Stan's collaboration with CLOT, which itself is pretty impressive. But today we will be taking a look at Mastermind Japans go at the classic Tennis shoe.

As we all know, Clot Inc produce some interesting collaborations, but here they've decided to tone things down a touch with the recently resurrected Stan Smith. And if Stan wore White and Green on the court, he would definetly wear Black and Gold to disco.


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.

This colour-way of the Asics Gel Lyte III has been on my mind for a long time now. I first featured it way back in January, and then again back in April. So I'm very glad to be finally seeing the release coming.

The Nike Cortez seems to be having somewhat of a resurgence in 2013, with a string of successful releases such as the very impressive Aloha Pack. Now they've gone with the trend and released a camo styled pack.
