With a delicious gum midsole/outsole combination and a brown nubuck upper, the adidas Polson ST is the latest collaborative project to drop from the fecund Three Stripes Skateboarding camp. Adi recently consorted with professional rider Mark Gonzales, and his creative touch is more than evident on the ST. His “ghost” graphic is printed on the shoe’s sockliner and on the model’s lateral side. Phantasmic, eh?

Supra sponsored skater Erik Ellington recently displayed his latest board shoe, The Vega. The low profile model is toned up in blue suede and features a black ankle collar. The shoe features a sticky, rubberized outsole and vulcanized toecap for improved flexibility on the streets. The Vega also incorporates a SupraFoam midsole, a resilient-material that offers up unmatched comfort and impact protection. The Erick Ellington Supra Vega will hit retail shelves sometime later this month! Image via Hypebeast.

Imagine you’re 6’11″, 265 LBS., and have a mean midrange game and a 40+” vertical. (I said imagine, right?) Alright, so you might not measure up to Dwight Howard, but with the adidas TS BOUNCE Commander your dogs will be pampered much like DH’s feet. The shoe is the latest hit from the Three Stripes camp and will be worn by many of the brand’s brawny “Command” players throughout the rest of season.

You think you’re “ballin’” in your Premium Air Force 1s or limited adidas Superstars, huh? Well, you’re not, I’m sorry. With luxurious materials and stately designs, independent company Lanvin recently offered an introspective look at their Spring/Summer 2009 Collection. The brand provides exorbitant elegance for almost any leisurely occasion–sailing, walking, Hypbeasting, tennis–with the aptly named Lanvin Hi, Lanvin Tennis, and Lanvin Boat. Unfortunately, the shoes are retailed off at prices that jump as high as $650, so you bettah have some cheddar if you yearn for a pair. Images via colette.
