etnies Plus Tribute
We don’t know a whole lot about this release, but the etnies Plus Tribute is looking like an April delivery to boutique accounts. The Plus line is usually a little questionable (it’s the line where they let the designers go nuts), but this new silhouette seems like a perfect balance of etnies styling and elevated thinking. Hit the jump for bigger photos, we’ll update with info when we get it.

Nike Air Zoom Tallac Lite ACG
This year (2009) celebrates the 20th year of Nike’s ACG (All Conditions Gear) category, and some classic Nike silos are getting the ACG treatment. But that’s not all, folks! We’re going to be seeing the re-release of some of the all time ACG bangers from the Nike Sportswear camp, including this O.G. colorway of the Nike Air Zoom Tallac Lite, which dropped last Satruday at the Nike flagship, 21 Mercer, in NYC.
It’s gonna take some fashion sense and some balls to pull these off, but if you’re stomping around in the cold these days, especially in brick-ass NYC at tonight’s Red Bull Snowboard contest, these are the ticket. Cop now for $112, and stomp your way through any amount of snow, sleet, hail, and hooker spit that might cross your path on your way to the East River (they’re insulated and waterproof!). Check the jump for detail shots, and the Nike Sportswear site for additional retail locations.

Nike Air Force II High Black/Yellow
The Air Force II never caught on the way its predecessor did, leaving many footwear designers scratching their heads. Why, though? Is it because it’s impossible to improve upon perfection? Excuse us while we throw up, we lack the gene for sneaker nostalgia.
Ha, kidding. Air Force 1s are great, and Nike Air Force II silhouettes come in interesting colorups from time to time, making the shoe cop-worthy. Especially now that high-tops are cool and that the Sporstwear division of the swoosh is taking this silo into its own hands. Check this Wu-Tang-colored Air Force II Hi which just hit boutiques around the US, including the Nike Sportswear flagship 21 Mercer in NYC for $82. Head over to nikesportswear for more info, or check th jump for detail shots of the shoes.

Gravis Fall ‘09 Preview
We just acquired these photos taken at the Gravis booth at last week’s Agenda tradeshow in San Diego. What you see here (and after the jump) is the Gravis Footwear Fall 2009 line, and there are some sneakers in here that actually look pretty dope! Gravis was known for having one of the biggest fall-offs of 2007, and since then we haven’t really heard, or seen, much from the brand that vaguely interested us.
It looks like the design crew got in the kitchen, though, and started cooking. While some of the product is still business as usual, new styles are looking sharp for Fall 2009. Expect this stuff to hit retail mid-August (we’ll get you the correct names and prices by then). Hopefully this is a turning point for the brand and we can look forward to good things in the future from the Burton-owned action sports footwear crew. Hit the jump to see all kinds of stuff.

The flyer for Lacoste’s Revan-Ardeur party at Nort in NYC tomorrow night (Thursday, 12/4) has been leaking around the net, but no one has alternate angles. Lucky for you, we got our hands on the samples.
We thought Nort was Nike only, but apparently Stash has to feed the kids this month. Check the jump for a run through on Stash’s five-minute collab (Let’s make it blue!)

As you may or may not know, Nike will be dropping the Air Yeezy’s this spring. Get your wallets ready for some time around March. But as anyone can guess, they’re not going to be easy to come by.
Welcome Reebok! These guys are working on a Yeezy-inspired kick of their own, called the Exo-Fit, dropping around the same time. We can’t show full photos yet, but hit the jump for some detail shots of the shoes that you’ll actually wind up copping when you hear that the Kanye shoes are going for $300.
