Tretorn Nylite Sail
(19 June 2007) - Updating their classic Nylites for summer, Tretorn swapped in recycled sail for the usual canvas or leather in these Nylite Sails. The result is an off-white sneaker with all the clean elegance of the original with a lighter, breezier feel and a wipe-off surface. Tretorn's been busy resurrecting their brand over the last couple of years, like by reissuing the Nylite in 2005 (40 years...

Diesel Puzzle Sneakers
(22 May 2007) - Dark, sleek, durable and adaptable. Sounds like the bat mobile and looks rather like it—well, that is if the bat mobile was a shoe. The Puzzle Sneaker is the star feature from the upcoming Diesel Autumn/Winter men’s collection. It's actually more than one new shoe, it’s three in one! This may just be a design gimmick or the start of a whole new way...

(25 April 2007) - Pointer, a small shoe company started by ex-members of Silas, Carhartt and Blueprint Skateboards, recently dropped their new line of spring and summer shoes.

Feiyue Plimsolls
(13 April 2007) - Chucks are beyond ubiquitous aren't they? In London, even the anti-Converse, non-branded, army surplus training shoe is everywhere these days, so what's next? Chinese brand Feiyue looks the most likely over the summer. They've been made in Shanghai since 1920 and have been worn by everyone from politicians to Shaolin masters. Apt, as the brand-name means "flying forward." They are incredibly comfortable to wear....

Tretorn x Acne Sneakers
(23 March 2007) - Tretorn may not pack the brand punch that Nike does in the States, but to tennis aficionados in Europe, this Swedish athletic company is practically a national treasure. Founded in 1891, the company established itself worldwide with their signature sneakers and tennis balls.

An Interview with Mihara Yasuhiro
(09 March 2007) - For the past seven years Japanese designer Mihara Yasuhiro has been collaborating with Puma on a line of wildly inventive sneakers that has become known—with features like patterns, drips, fur, studs, stripes and metallics—for adding a true avant-garde edge to shoes.

Sneakerplay: The AF1 Playoffs
(27 February 2007) - It's fair to say that we at Team Cool Hunting havn't gone for the whole Nike Air Force 1 anniversary in a huge way, but this collaboration between Nike iD and our favorite social networking site for sneakerheads could change all that.

Oestudio Sneakers
(23 February 2007) - Over the course of São Paulo's recent fashion week the name Oestudio kept showing up on t-shirt tags, runways and at Surface To Air's new store. The boutique carries Oestudio's hi- and lo-tops that all balance a youthful look with stylish detailing and a distinctly Brazilian flair. Well thought out design, like thin round laces and nearly double the amount of eyelets on most...

Best One for S***r
(08 February 2007) - I appreciate simpler shoes these days, although still with a twist, like these new ones that have been designed for S***r (aka Swear London) by graffiti artist Best One. Coming over like a cross between traditional Vans and a straightforward plimsoll, the dashes of color take them to the next level. The above picture, which is the only one we have, probably doesn't do...

Alexandre Herchcovitch Sneakers
(02 February 2007) - At the Alexandre Herchcovitch show at São Paulo Fashion Week, the diamond patterns, gold and fluorescent hues he used on sneakers caught my eye. After the successful show, while everyone swarmed the designer backstage, I was able to get a few pics of the hi-tops as they were being put away (click images for detail). While I don't know much about them except that...

Adicolor Spring 07
(23 January 2007) - Adidas was mainly successful with it's Adicolor series last year (I say mainly successful as some of the shoes have been knocked down in the January sales) and it's looking for more of the same this year. Pictured are three new colorways hitting the usual outlets over the next few weeks. From left to right, they are the Adicolor Hi Archive Royal College, the...

Nike Air Force 1 Pop-Up Stores
(14 December 2006) - Nike's hyping the 25th Anniversary of the classic Air Force 1 a lot at the moment, but we haven't really been impressed by the new colorways of the classic shoe. As for the new version, the Nike Air Force 25 (pictured), we at CH think it looks too similar to an Air Jordan XX, although I have to admit, it is growing on me. However,...

Nike Playstation 3 Airmax
(21 November 2006) - For the second time, Nike has brought a sneaker to commemorate a Sony Playstation console (the first pair were Playstation Air Force Ones).

T-Book x Peter Schmid Sneakers
(09 November 2006) - With British t-shirt company T-Book's tessellating expressions of love and the German Puma designer Peter Schmid's high and low-tops, these may be the most romantic kicks out there. Laser-burnt with T-Book's clever, M.C. Escher-esque "Don't Kiss Goodbye" (pictured left, click either image for detail) or with their "I Love You" repeating script pattern (pictured right), the process takes about an hour for each pair....
