As was the case with FW12′s 574BPs, get ready for a steady stream of 574WBs

As was the case with FW12′s 574BPs, get ready for a steady stream of 574WBs.  The New Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 Balance 574 ‘Windbreaker Pack’ follows up on last year’s double-digit Backpack output, bringing forth its fifth colorway and the first made for ladies.  The WL574WBP is labeled as such for its purple nylon upper but could just as easily stand for ‘Phoenix’, as in the Suns who rock a similar color scheme.  Click through so you can see these up close and pre-order in advance of the March Nike Free Run Shoes 2013 shipment from Titolo.
 

There’s nothing ‘turrible’ about the return of the Nike Air Force 180 ‘Olympic’, is there? Considered to be one of the most treasured basketball sneakers of all-time tied to one of Nike’s most charismatic endorsers in history, the Air Force 180 is poised to make yet another return in a slew of new colorways, led by this original ‘Olympic’. Here we have some close-up details of this iconic shoe, made famous by the 180-degree Air unit (which has since been improved on) and one of the sickest gradient effects on a sneaker midsole – ever. These will be available at UK retailer endclothing this July with a pre-order opening up this June, so don’t miss out on this classic if you’re missing these in your collection (or if your Retros are thoroughly beat).

A little over two years ago, Converse issued a grey fleece pair of Chuck Taylor hightops that looked like they’d been cut from your favorite pair of sweatpants.  And just like basically every female college student in America, once the One Star fell in love with the effortless comfort of rocking sweats out in public, there was no going back.  This new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ’Sweat’ Hi goes even further, opting for a drawstring-like primary lace in additional to the more traditional red secondaries.  Let us know how this pair’s red heather compares to the grey version when you click through for more images and stick with Sneaker News for more new Nike Free Run + 2 Chuck Taylors.  Photos: Chapter
 

The upcoming Nike Zoom Rookie ‘Galaxy’ got a bit more interesting when we showed you a special version of the Penny hybrid shoe that featured ‘glow in the dark’ moon pods on the upper. Previously, the pods were a solid black color, so there was some confusion as to which would be the released version or if one or the other was a limited edition; it turns out the the ‘glow-pod’ version is in fact a collaboration with Sole Collector, which participated in another Penny-centric collaboration last year. Behind the velcro patch on the tongue is the Sole Collector logo embroidered on the tongue, a feature that can be left hidden or open depending on your own preference. With this new development now surfaced, which version do you prefer – black or glow?
