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.

Since 1995, every 5 years, New Balance have issued the 1300 in its original form under the name M1300JP, exclusively in Japan. But in 2010, for the shoes 25th anniversary, NB decided to distribute outside of Japan, and have thus continued this with the M1300JP2 as we would have all hoped.

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.

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.

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. 


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.
New Balance MT580 CM1600 ML999 Wanted Pack 05 570x449 New Balance   MT580, CM1600 + ML999   Wanted Pack

Earlier this month we seen a blog post from Anth regarding the "Globally Wanted" pack, otherwise known as the "Mug Shot" pack containing models 1600 and 580. Now the pack is out and live, we have been able to take a closer look into the pack, and not just look at pictures from sneaker sites and blogs such as Freshness Mag, from this we learn the name "Globally Wanted" comes from the inspiration for the pack being old wanted posters, which I assume it is not posters we see in Old West films, and will be more modern, which we usually see in gangster films as such.

Yesterday we brought you the return of the Asics Gel Lyte V. Today we've got a 2nd colour-way for you all to feast your eyes upon. Sneaker Freaker have once again gone and branded up the photo, bastards.

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.

The all suede upper on an Air Max 1 is a thing of beauty, and this Purple iteration really takes that all suede upper and somehow makes it even better.

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.

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. 

I haven't seen much news from the Puma camp recently. But this collaboration with Staple has put them back on my radar. The traditional Suede silhouette has been vamped up and is now named 'Pigeon'.

I brought you news of this Grey/Orange edition of the New Balance 998, back on March 1. Now I have release information.

Reebok are currently thriving off the Runner trend right now, and this release is no different, in fact it might be one of the best in a while, (ooo controversial). Have a read about the deets after the jump.

Of course, everyone loves the 999 Kennedy edition, but New Balance do continue to make amazing 999 colour-ways (I know, shock!). And I know the Knicks fans out there might just like this colour-way.

The continuing releases of City Packs continues, this time its the turn of the Air Max Home Turf pack, and in that pack there is this Air Max 1 Hyperfuse.

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.
