The Nike Roshe Run is a shoe that’s long since abandoned its solidly colored roots. Again pushing the limits of what the sneaker is capable of, this new version slaps on a trippy tie-dye look. The material across the upper doesn’t appear to be the original mesh stuff either, with a smoother set up in place (But can you imagine how crazy these would look across a mesh surface?). There’s no word yet on US availability, but it seems like all of the Roshe styles have made their way to the US at one time or another, so you shouldn’t fret too much just yet. Get the rest of the photos below and if you’re so inclined, pick up the Nike Roshe Run “Tie-Dye” now from Solebox.

A very fruity Nike SB Dunk Mid is on its way. Mind you, we mean fruity in the most literal sense. The pair has a very apparent watermelon palette slapped on it, reminding us all how close the days of summer cookouts and bright colored sneaks are. The green base sports some pale yellow touches, perforations for the heel area leather, and a juicy red Swoosh cutting across the mid section of the shoe. Get more on the Nike SB Dunk Mid “Watermelon” right after the jump and keep in mind that the sneakers should be in stores as of September, 2013.

Old themes will apparently be resurrected on Kevin Durant’s next signature shoe thanks to the Nike KD VI “Weatherman” shown here. The sneaker certainly gets away from the greenish yellow palette of the original pair, but very much maintains the meteorological prints that helped make it a hit. This comes as just the second shoe we’re seeing from the Nike KD VI lineup, no doubt one that will stir up quite a bit more commotion than that initial yellow/teal joint. Check out all the images we’ve got so far on the Nike KD VI “Weatherman” after the jump and stay tuned for release info.

Columbus, Ohio’s Sole Classics gave us a good look at their Vans Vault Era “Carmen” with a video preview last week. Today we see a yarn spun that brings together the Buckeye State’s passion for football, their 1996 license plate design and a mysterious high school legend. The symbolism is deep here, including everything from the pebbled football leather heel tab to the removed Wikipedia entry for Jack ‘Ice’ Henderson. Sole Classics takes a simple classic and lovingly applies layers of detail in tribute to its home state, where these will be released this Saturday, May 25th with an online drop to follow that evening.

Interesting timing to see a new Nike Air Pippen 1 colorway make its first appearance on the date of the 2013 NBA Draft Lottery. The last time we saw Scottie Pippen’s first signature Nike Basketball shoe was last June, when its jewel-waved upper was treated to a Supersonics/ping-pong ball makeup. This latest revelation has nothing to do with tonight’s telecast, and a non-basketball theme makes for one of the more satisfying designs this model has seen. The Air Pippen goes with camouflage on the sides of a black nubuck design that adds an exclamation point with vibrant green branding and sole. No release date has yet been confirmed so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Ostrich leather arrived as May’s Nike Air Force 1 iD special option, and today we have a handful of samples that demonstrate what’s possible with this notably nubby material. As you see from looking at these two fairly restrained colorways, both Air Force 1 High and Low are available in either traditional AF1 or Lunar Force 1 builds. Ostrich can be mixed with smooth leather to make the quill bumps even more striking, which is the whole point here with simple colorways adding a subtle if slightly wild twist. Stick with Sneaker News for the latest and let us know how these compare to last month’s pony hair zoo.

Skipping the ankle strap en route to a lower silhouette, the Alexander McQueen x Puma Summer Joust offers a new take on a style we’d most recently seen with crazy pony hair detailing. This Summer Joust colorway evokes images of traditional plaid button downs with its conservative mix of green and blues that adds red piping to select sections. Deluxe materials accompany the premium price tag, and you can see just how nicely they came together below before buying yours at Kith.

United Arrows is a Japanese fashion house that’s made a mark on the entire world in 2013. From their New Balance 1500s to collabs from child labels, United Arrows has positioned themselves as a master of low-key luxury. The latest example isn’t technically a collab, but rather, a rendition of the original adidas ZX 500 that features antique pre-yellowed midsoles and French tongue tag branding. These have arrived at select European retailers, and while they might hit stateside shops, you probably don’t want to wait now that they’re in stock at Afew.
