A couple of days ago we showed you some teaser images of the Saucony x David Z collaboration that will be released in the coming months. Here you see now the new Saucony Courageous TR, which is part of the Saucony Spring/Summer 2008 collection.
The sneakers come in a blue/yellow and a grey/green colorway. Nice details include a nice mix of different materials, stitching, as well as the pattern running over the mid sole.
If we see more of this kind from the brand in the near future, we might see a little comeback. Mita now has both colorways in stock. Check out the other one after the jump.

We present you the next batch of Alife NYC Spring/Summer 2008 footwear. They have introduced several new models this season, including a running shoe and also a more casual “Clarks” like shoe. In this drop they bring classics as well as the new models in strong summer colors.
Have a look at all new models after the jump.

Nike continues to develop their Nike+ running experience and will soon be introducing the Sportband. The band opens up features at the NikePlus website along with enabling runners to check out distance, pace, time and calories burned and is marketed as a standalone device for those who’d prefer not to have a DAP on their arm when exercising. Via Engadget.
The Sportband will be released April 10th.

After bringing back the 320, New Balance is bringing back the iconic 420 in April this year. The New Balance 420 was one of the best running shoes in the 80’s and was made for athletes. This year it returns in 4 colorways, including its original colorways.
Have a look after the jump at all styles of this classic.

The much anticipated New Balance MT580 “Spy vs. Spy” pack has finally been released at Mita. After the recent Puma x Bodega collaboration with Spy vs. Spy, this is the second one in a rather short period of time.
The pack consists of a white MT580 and black MT580 with a striped inner lining and the weapons of the spies in red embroidery. Check them out in more detail after the jump.

We present you the Adidas Oregon Ultra, which is part of the Consortium Spring/Summer 2008 collection. The brand presents this classic, which was first introduced in 1982, in two colorways – Pure Cyan and Pure Yellow.
The Adidas Oregon Ultra was designed in co-operation with track and field at the University of Oregon. The sleek ´space shuttle`profile and D-web-covered Eva midsole gave enhanced shock absorption and stability to runners. This version is constructed in a lightweight mix of mesh and leather, with stylish lizard-embossed leather and maintains the classic web-covered Eva midsole.
Both colorways are now available at Limiteditions in Barcelona. Check out detailed pictures after the jump.

We present you another model out of the JB Classics Premium range – the Sub-40 Wimbley. The first running shoe to come out of the brand, comes just like most other styles in premium materials and special treatments. Material detail include full-grain leather with all over perforation detail, full-grain tumble leather heel & lace panels, contrast red stitching, pony-hair material with fish scale laser appliqué on full tongue panel & heel tab, owl graphic pattern in laser appliqué on heel cap, reversed soft pigskin inner-lining, white metal lace lock and so on.
The sneaker is limited to 120 pairs worldwide and will be released in the coming weeks. More pics after the jump.

If you remember, a while back we presented to you a collaboration apparel collection, designed by Misha of Pam, Parra and Todd James for Nike. Here comes now the Running Man Pack, a sneaker pack, consisting of three sneakers designed again by these three artists.
Nort Berlin will be releasing the yellow Air Max 90’s, designed by Misha tomorrow online and in store. Check them out in detail after the jump.

It certainly seems like Asics is slowly fighting it’s way back into the sneaker scene. We have seen this year a collaboration with Patta and now this week a new collaboration with Alife NYC. Both partners are probably the most significant influencers in the sneaker business on their respective continents. The Asics Gel Lyte III was used for both collaborations and it seems like we will be seeing a lot more of that sneaker in the near future.
Patta has received some new colorways of the Asics Gel Lyte III and we like them. There is a black/storm colorway and a white/pastel turquoise colorway, both looking really hot. Good color combination, without going over board. It will be interesting to see over the next year or so, if Asics can use their current momentum and build on it.

Check them out in detail after the jump.

Nike has released a dedicated Nike Vintage Running webiste and you should definitely go and check it out. The website is designed like an old magazine/newspaper and talks about Jogging, Running Tips, etc, but all as if it was 30 years ago – interesting and funny.

They also present the entire footwear line-up of the Nike Vintage Running Collection and announce as of July 21rst an online store.
Check it out here.
