Dunk High devotee Diversitile’s latest custom sneaker reaches beyond his established niche

Just what kind of escape is this?  Ruing away from greatness, toward more greatness?  The mita sneakers x Nike Air Max+ 95 BB ‘Neo Escape 2.0′ has been able to accomplish a task at which many of the earlier BBs had failed, namely, converting purists into believers thanks to the beautiful blue gradient that marks the Hyperfuse-constructed uppers.  These showcase the 95 BB’s strengths in a more uniform way than the ‘Olympic’ colorway that we’ve previewed a couple times in recent weeks, but which one would you be more likely to purchase?  This one’s going to be tough to get your hands on and we expect them to move from Japan’s mita sneakers just as quickly as they’ve arrived.

Dunk High devotee Diversitile’s latest custom sneaker reaches beyond his established niche to combine the Nike LeBron X‘s jewel theme with 2013′s Pantone Color of the Year.  There’s a lot more than just 17-5641 on this design, but the ‘Emerald’ LeBron 10 custom is indeed a fine exemplar of the gemstone in question.  This angular design’s faceted tooling is maximized with more added to the upper while gold branding and midsole speckling drive home the luxury vibe.  Nike Basketball chose Chinese Jade as their green gem of choice for the LeBron Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 10; let us know how Diversitile‘s Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 Emeralds compare and if you’ll be grabbing one of the 12 available pairs.

 

Asics has been very deliberate in excavating their archives for retro goodies.  The Gel Saga has been back in rotation for a little over a year, which followed the GT-II’s retu, whose stage was in tu set by the success of iconic Gel Lyte III.  Now we’re about to be blessed with another from that lineage, as we jump from 1990′s beloved GLIII to the Asics Gel-Lyte V that debuted three years later.  A design of its time as signaled by the Grape/Aqua-ish palette, this OG colorway is slated to arrive on store shelves for the third quarter; do you now have a new top back-to-school pick?  Stick with Sneaker News for US release info and let us know how this 20th aiversary model compares to Asics’ established retro ruers after you’ve seen more below.
 

Brooklyn Projects just constructed a custom product display for fellow Los Angelinos The Hundreds, a move Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 that foreshadows an upcoming BP x Nike SB collaboration inspired by Hollywood‘s very foundation.  The Brooklyn Projects x Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Walk of Fame’ features a bold colorway matching those famed tribute pavers with Safari print on the black sections mimicking the famous sidewalks’ glittery composition   In person, the metal flaked patent leather gold Swooshes might end up being the most eye-catching feature, and we can also expect a star embroidered on the heel for the production model.  450 pairs will be produced with 400 sold inside special packaging with extras sometime around the 2013 Academy Awards, so stick with Sneaker News for updates as we approach the February 2013 release date.
