Staple creates version 2.0 to their previous pigeon creation from 2008. The new M575 takes inspiration from white pigeons, the shoe still retains the pink colour, but instead of grey and black, it goes with a lighter shade of grey and white. Only 1077 of these are being made… details and pics after the jump.

The newest collection from adidas. A new line in fashion inspired sportswear, its like a cross between originals and their Y-3 series. They do have some sexy shoes. Very minimalistic in design and nice use of materials.

Released today, Nike has created three basketball shoes inspired by the transformers in celebration of Transformers: Rise of the Fallen. This is the complete package paying homage to the toys by coming in a cardboard box with j-hooks, retro graphics, and decoder profiles on the back revealing the transformers’ powers. It doesn’t get any better than this. The models include the Nike Zoom Flight Club (Megatron), Nike Sharkalaid (Soundwave), and Nike Zoom FP (Bumblebee). Jump for the more pictures.

Amazing. Toronto based clothing company, RANSOM, is collaborating with adidas originals for a collection of footwear. From what I can tell, the shoes are mainly monotone in colours and seem to have a more rugged feel to them. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t pay attention to all the details they possibly could from stitching patterns and logos. Read the interview with the collaborators in question here at Crooked Tongues. The collection set to drop this fall, keep an eye out and show some love.

July’s release for Nike SB comes with the all usual suspects in new colourways: dunks, blazers, zoom tres, bruins… and one more. Not so usual, the Nike Stefan Janoski pro model. Coming in a tan-ish/khaki colour, its a nice addition. SBs are starting to seem lackluster…did the designers go on holiday? Full collection after the jump.
