In another interesting collaboration Common Projects has gotten together with United Bamboo. The two brands worked on the popular Common Projects low top trainer, and gave it a gray and brown plaid wool upper, getting it ready for the colder months of the year. The sneakers will be available exclusively from United Bamboo, starting September 2009. Detailed images of the Common Projects x United Bamboo Low Top Sneakers follow after the jump.

One of the few things that I actually like about the French, besides the women,  is the A.P.C brand. Always comin with clean crisp pieces to add to their collection. This season, the tennis sneaker comes in a new grey suede colorway with subtle branding on the heel. So grip up a pair, and slap the nearest person to your right with a flaccid leather glove, hon hon hon honnnnn. Available now at ZOZO Japan. more pics after the jump

Davidz’s Ronnie Fieg worked with Asics and three well known online media outlets on Gel Lyte III collaborative sneakers.

Limited to only 150 pairs worldwide, the sneaker will be released on July 31rst, exclusively at Davidz.com and in their Soho flagship store. They have a couple of surprises waiting for you as well, but more on that soon. More pics after the jump

Definitely one of the nicer things I’ve seen from Vans. Using the Vans Chukka as the base, these shoes feature a wool upper, Peacoat buttons, premium laces, and other fine details. Three colorways will be available in this solid Vans release – grey, blue and black. Now available at Bows & Arrows. More pics after the jump

As much as I love Dame Dash, he wasn’t doin it for the PK brand. No body’s sportin those shiny plastic neon kicks, c’mon. Well, anyone with any sense of style that is. Since he’s been dropped, they’ve come out with some clean and simple products. This collab with Patta is one example. Premium leathers, a high contrast gum sole, and attention to detail give these kicks that not so ummmmmm Circus look. more pics after the jump

Here comes the last sneaker of the adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Project Brands Pack – a collaboration with New York’s Nom de Guerre brand. They worked on the Forum Mid and gave it a stunning timeless design.  More info and detailed images of the adidas Originals x Nom de Guerre Forum Mid follow after the jump

Nom de Guerre’s Forum builds on the revolutionary basketball shoe’s hardwearing ankle straps and heel support made for hard landings, revising the shoe using the United States Military jungle boot as an inspiration prototype. Next, Nom de Guerre reworked the Forum’s ankle strap to reference war hospital ankle bandaging.

Additionally, the colours on the sole of the shoe serves as a reminder of the many hours of target practice accrued during training. The byproduct of these elements is an extremely versatile shoe designed to accommodate a range of climates while providing critical protection over various terrain.

After months of hype, the release date approaches for the Livestrong’s greatest hits version of the Futura Dunk High. Originally released as a Nike SB offering entitled FLOM (For Love or Money) this dollar bill printed shoe was limited to 24 pairs and only available to friends and family of the artist. The 2009 rendition is reworked in Livestrong black and yellow and is has somewhat wider distribution. If you’re a Futura fan, this weekend will be your chance to get your hands on a classic Dunk. Available Saturday July 18, 2009 at Concepts 37 Brattle St. and other select Nike Tier Zero accounts.
