These Adidas Originals “Easy Five Lo”  patent, lace-up flats are included in the post we just did on the “Blue Collection,” but for all the click-through snobs, we didn’t want you to miss seeing this adorable pair of shoes (they’re described as sneakers, but we don’t think so) included in the offerings.

Adidas like most athletic shoe brands is getting in on the lightweight action and is previewing some women’s product whose overall theme is sleekness. The checkered shoe featured on this page is an Adi Court Mid, reincarnated as a super cute lifetstyle shoe. On the next page, some classic basketball, running and lifestyle shoes get the same treatment. Expect the kicks featured here and on the next page to drop in mid-July at Adidas.

It’s not the best image but hey, we’re not going to NOT post images of the very first Alexander Wang sneakers. And truthfully, we feel like we or someone of our ilk should have been the ones to get these first, but nope, we had to spot them on Elle. Darn Alex, and we heard you had love for the sneaker blogs, too. Que pasa?

Of course the main ’sneaker  love’  feature is the breezy cut out of these newly released high tops by Gourmet footwear available in white black and yellow. Take a look on the flip and purchase here.Via sneakerfreaker.

The Nike Racquette QS is a women’s tennis-inspired shoe based on one of Nike’s first performance tennis shoes launched in 1975, the “Racquette,” but now modernized with a higher design than its predecessor. The retro upper is built with a feminine appeal featuring a blucher toe construction to allow for a comfortable fit. The upper padding and reinforcement has been removed for this quick strike version, giving the shoe a comfortable and deconstructed look. An updated hobnail outsole design provides versatile traction for a variety of surfaces. This classic design harkening back to Nike’s early heritage in tennis is finished off with a sleek cup-sole construction featuring a phylon heel wedge for added cushioning. Minimalist design and superb comfort of the “Racquette” 3/4 Premium is made for the women who appreciates the retro aesthetic and comfort of the mid-seventies tennis shoe.
