The Converse Star Player has to be at least a little bit jealous at all the attention

The Converse Star Player has to be at least a little bit jealous at all the attention the Pro Leather is getting during the second half of 2012, so here’s a couple of new colorways that steal the ‘other’ silo’s namesake material.  This new Chocolate and black Star Player Premium Leather is a Converse.com exclusive, an earthy build whose organic appeal is greatly aided by the upper’s grainy texture.  They’re like an alternate take on a recent UNDFTD collabo drop with altered colorblocking and no dual-branding, and you can see more photos below before you buy online.

The Nike Dunk High LR is a Lunar-cushioned, vulc-soled take on this classic basketball design turned skate standby, and now much like the Dunk SBs that paved the way for this action sports style, the LunarLon Dunk High has its name stitched right onto the tongue tag. And while Nike SB has their own black/white staple Dunk High (often called the ‘Venom’ or ‘Spawn’), none of those Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 have featured the unique speckling pattern that sets this pair apart (nor, obviously, the vulcanized sole upon which its placed). These unique qualities are helping to set the Dunk High LR apart from the pack, and you can grab this newest pair at select retailers like Premier.

Jeremy Scott is known for his embellished tongues and wings of all sorts, and with these distinctive design cues, has almost entirely skipped out on the zippered trend that’s been so hot lately.  Scott’s latest adidas Originals by Originals release, then, represents a departure both in terms of style and construction, though you’re not going to make the mistake of assuming any other major brands’ collaborators are bold enough to try something like Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 this.  The Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Slim makes it even easier to get into the traditional penny loafer silo thanks to zippers running from tongue to toe, while a black-on-royal polka-dotted design is sure to turn heads just like all his other efforts.  Let us know how these compare to the wildly multicolored JS Wings and Bears that also just released and find yours today at Three Stripes stockists like Kith.
 

What happens when you take a colorway made famous by the series for which Tinker Hatfield is most famous and apply it to one of his earliest breakthroughs? The most natural connection Nike Free Run Shoes would be between the Air Safari and its namesake print and the Air Jordan III’s Elephant (or possibly even the Safari’s Class of ’87 peer the AJII), but it’s actually the AJ8 that we see pop up on the latest Hyperfuse and LunarLon Safari update. The Nike Lunar Safari Fuse+ has an undeniable Grape-y-ness about it as depicted above with Medium Violet and Stadium Green accents on a black upper with silver-based Safari spotting. Check them out in more photos after the jump and let us know how these compare to earlier releases before you grab yours today from Premier.
