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.

Does anybody who is still wearing sneakers, remember the days of 'classics' sitting on the sales racks, which now go on eBay for a pretty penny?

This year we thought we'd do things a little differently when it comes to the overall winner. Each of the categories (excluding new model) winners will battle against each other to see who comes out on top. So here we go.

2014 brought us the second instalment of the 'MN Best Kicks of' awards. This year we've slimmed down the catergories and changed the way we vote for the best overall kick to make the whole thing a better experience. Let's get down to it, here are the winners for 2014'.

It's been quiet year for the New Balance in-house releases. But it looks like things are set to change in 2015 with this preview of some upcoming 1500 editions for Spring/Summer 2015.

Us guys in the UK might not know an awful lot about wings+horns, but the Canadian apparel brand has certainly made a big splash following this release along-side New Balance.

A few weeks ago we brought you the initial release details for the Shoe Gallery iteration of the classic New Balance 580. Well, we now happily can bring you the UK release details.

New Balance have had some-what of a subdued year, but it seems like the end of 2014 is bringing that New Balance pizzazz back, starting with Shoe Gallery then Ronnie Fieg and now Social Status.

It's been a relatively quiet year for New Balance, compared to last year at least. But there has still been some absolute bangers, both out of their own designers and part of collaborations. Here we shortlist the best, allowing you to vote for your favourite.

It's been a long line of teasers since we first saw Ronnie rocking both of these models, but we now finally have more images and that all important release information.

I've been waiting a while for Shoe Gallery and New Balance to release some better images of the outstanding kick. Finally today we have them, so here we are, the Shoe Gallery x New Balance 580 'Le Tour De Miami'.

It's always nice when you see something a little bit different coming out of the Ronnie Fieg/KITH office. Here we have a New Balance 530 which doesn't seem to have a huge RF styling attached to it.

Concepts really don't give you time to save up. Coming straight off the back off their Rosé 997's, they're now hitting us with this nautical inspired 496.

It's always nice to see Mita Sneakers appearing on my news feeds. They never fail to bring the goods with their collaborations. This time, they've well and truly outdone themselves on this tennis ball themed beauty.

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.

The 997 is one of New Balance's biggest success' at the minute, and they seem to be able to do no wrong with it; everyone colour-way and collaboration work beautifully. Now we have another to add to that list, the Author Collection edition of the 997.

Personally the 577 is one of my all time favourite silhouettes the guys down at New Balance. So naturally I'm very happy to see both of the OG colour-ways making another come-back this time with the OG stylings.

Starting where 6ACRE II left off, III took it that extra step; adding an extra floor and plenty of extra stalls. The place was packed to the rafters with ridiculous amounts of heat, both new and old. But this wasn't the end of the story, many stalls were also holding accessories, clothing and art.
