We present you the next series to come out from the New Balance Super Team 33 – the Luggage Collection. After using the New Balance 1400 throughout 2007, New Balance now worked on the 998 for 2008. Especially since this model has been rarely used on special editions, it’s nice to see it appear as part of the Super Team 33 collection.
Luxurious luggage is the theme of this new collection. One pair is inspired by Italian luggage, coming with a premium croc skin upper in a nice brown tone. The second sneaker is inspired by classic vintage French luggage, with an upper made up of premium leathers. The last one has been inspired by the military luggage by Victorinox., coming in a mix of black premium leather and nubuck. Via LaMJC.
The New Balance “Luggage” Collection will be released the 20th of January worldwide, as usual in very limited quantities. After the jump pictures of the other two colorways.

We just came across this new Nike Air Force 1 Red Croc on Nike1Love. A sneaker could probably not be more red, with the upper, sole, inner lining, swoosh, all being red. The toe box comes in red patent, the rest of the sneaker in red croc skin.
If you are into the color red, this is definitely the way to go. If we are lucky, we can see these in other more subtle colors. There is no release date for these, but we’ll keep you posted.

Almost as iconic as the Pump system by Reebok, was the Disc closure system by Puma, which they will be bringing back next year. Taking inspiration in terms of design of classic video games, these new Puma Disc Blaze sneakers will be releasing in April 2008. Via Sneaker Freaker.

Among the latest releases by Converse are these Jack Purcell Canvas styles. The mix of premium brown leather and beige or respectively khaki canvas makes a perfect match and an overall nice sneaker. It definitely has a more classic look and feel, almost like an upper class sneaker from along time ago.
Both colorways are now available at Zozo. Check out the other one after the jump.

The Gourmet sneakers that we introduced to you this season have quickly become the favorite of many out there. Classic silhouette, classy upper and interesting materials for this kind of sneaker – these attributes make the Gourmet sneakers stand out.
Here we have a little teaser image of what there is to come from them in terms of shoes, next year. The first series came in beige, military green, navy and black. It seems to get more colorful next year!

The latest release by Puma is this Suede Tartan Pack. It consists of a black/red and a red/black colorway of the Puma Suede with gold accents on the back heel and the logo. The inner lining comes in a tartan check pattern. 
The pack has now been released at Flauge. Detailed pictures of both colorways follow after the jump.

The Nike Stiletto Pack is about to be released. This womens pack is probably one of the most exciting this year, consisting of a Dunk Hi, AM95 and Vandal Hi. The Dunk Hi looks simple at first, but besides the Stiletto graphic on the back heel, it also features a lingerie like material on the tongue. The Vandal Hi comes in a leopard look, mostly covered in faux fur. All three sneakers have a contrasting red outer sole, which goes really well with the black uppers. Pics via Hangtime.
