In May, we brought you a look at a collaboration between United Arrows and the New Balance team, which resulted in, for one thing, a CM1700. Now, the United Arrows retailer will be from where the results of a collaboration between Beauty & Youth and New Balance will release. In celebration of Beauty & Youth’s 20th anniversary, three pairs of the New Balance 1700 have been prepared. The collection includes one pair in dark brown leather and two pairs including suede and mesh materials in black and in grey colorways. As we said before, these will release through United Arrows, and it’ll be sometime in December.

In the early September days we brought you a look at an adidas Originals Tokyo low in an eye-catching blue colorway. Two months later, we now have a look at the same silhouette in a more famous color and in a high-top design. The adidas Originals Tokyo high pictured here sports a predominantly black base with red and white accents. But perhaps what is more noticeable is the high-top execution we don’t see often. Moreover, this shoe also includes Gore-Tex protection against water and for heightened durability. It seems as though because of the high-top modeling and low stateside availability, these will be more easily attainable overseas and will run you more money than your usual adidas Originals release.

Earlier this week we brought you a look at the up-and-coming Nike Air Trainer 1 model in an “Oregon Ducks” colorway being used by many of the college’s football stars while training. Now, we have a look at the Nike Zoom Lebron II designed a few years back for the Ducks’ basketball squad. Although that team has had less success than the football one, the white pair was designed to be worn at home games, while the green one was supposed to be worn for away games. How do you guys think this color execution looks on the Nike Zoom Lebron II as compared to the Nike Air Trainer 1? Check out more pix of these two exclusive pairs of the Nike Zoom Lebron II after the jump.

Towards the beginning of this fall season, the Bape brand was setting up to release a low-top URSUS sneaker that resembled a Chuck Taylor silhouette. For this holiday season, two more URSUS releases come in the form of the Bapesta. One Bapesta reminds us of the Yankees colors as it dons a grey/blue upper with white midsole. And the second Bapesta sports a purple/blue upper with white midsole and red outsole.

Previewed way back in June, we finally have some more detailed images of the White/Black colorway of the Air Jordan VI Retro scheduled to release next year. With colorways also releasing in Black and Black/Red, 2010 is shaping up to be a rather big year for the classic Air Jordan sneaker, and this bold two-tone model certainly keeps the shoe’s momentum rolling. Featuring a speckled midsole/heel tab, translucent outsole, and black and white leather upper, the model is bound to turn some heads. Word has it that the colorway will hit retailers in March for around $150, but stayed tuned for more definite release details.
