Not only has Mr. West been parading around fashion week with his new bald girlfriend Amber Rose, he’s also traded in his Louis Vuittons for some ambiguous NB998s. We’re guessing someone from New Balance figured it was a good idea to send Kanye some sneakers and pray that he’d get his photo taken with them on. Misson accomplished. Check close-up shots of ‘Ye’s New B’s below.

Some feelings got caught when we compared the new Supreme shoes to the Huf Doughboys. Supreme released profile shots so everyone could see what they really look like. Shut it. [High Snobiety]
Check this month’s bottom of the barrel Nike SB releases, available now at CCS (if you’re too scared to go into the skate shops and get the real ones). [CtotheJL]
A Bathing Ape is dropping these adidas Superstar-inspired kicks. If you grab them, please leave your address in the comments so we can come to your house and punch you in the face. [Sneaker Files]
The Australian Brand Perks and Mini is known for crazy colors, prints, and some of the sickest “streetwear” in the game. The new low tops for summer are a little nutso, but have an, “I think they’re still kinda sick” hit to them. [High Snobiety]
How do you make the Lebron Six’s summer-appropriate? Make them white and perf them up! [Kicks on Fire]
We showed you the Burgundy pack last week, check the new copper Supra NS pack. [Hypebeast]
Bottega Veneta’s new slip-ons are reminicent (?) of Vans since forever, but more expensive and probably fancier. [High Snobiety]

Was the almighty Supreme sneaky-peaking at DVS’s lookbook? Probably not, but while we were browsing Supreme’s forthcoming Spring/Summer 2009 collection we saw this ambiguous black sneaker and immediately thought of the HUF x DVS Doughboys pack.
We’ll leave it up to you to decide on the swag-jacking (there’s a lot of black/gum lowtops out there these days), but these two guys do look like brothers from the same mother, from the top at least.

Nike Zoom Flight Club
Some photos of the Nike Zoom Flight Club have been hitting the net, claiming that this shoe is Tony Parker’s upcoming signature silhouette. The dude has some championships, and is hitting this, but we’re not 100% that Nike is going all in like that. It’s likely that the rumors are correct and this is his signature shoe, but it’s also possible that the shoe’s that are out there are just a Tony Parker Player Exclusive for the upcoming Zoom Flight Club silhouette. The information we have doesn’t say one way or another.
Either way, the above colorway of the Nike Zoom Flight Club hits basketball stores (and 21 Mercer) on April 1 for $110, and make for a new look that stands apart from the Kobes and Lebron Sixes that we’ve been seeing so much of. Hit the jump for detail images.

Raf by Raf Simons black leather low velcro. Very cool, very expensive, and slightly hard to pull off. $294 now at OAK. [OAK NYC]
We could care less about what’s coming out in Holiday 2009 (summer is almost here!), but if you do, check the Air Jordan 12 White/Red Retro slated for October. [The Shoe Game]
It seems that the adidas SLVR line is up and cracking. Check out this “7 Pieces” low top. Nice! [Today and Tomorrow]
Finally we get to see the Black/Red Air Jordan 2009. Nice Kicks thinks its an April release. We checked with Micheal, and Nice Kicks is correct. [Nice Kicks]
Supreme will be ripping off the DVS Doughboy for Summer ‘09. [Hypebeast]

New BFFs-4EVA Kid Cudi and Kanye West hit BET’s 106 & Park yesterday to debut Cudi’s new “Day N’ Night” video. As seen from the screen grab, Kanye must’ve gifted Cudi with his Louis Vuitton Don sneakers as a welcome home present from the hospital after the whole Reebok x Police Taser incident. Check the video and the two exchanging freestyles after the jump.

Vans just posted up its Spring 09 Vault collection, before anyone else could do the usual “leak shitty photos and report the information incorrectly” procedure that’s become sneaker-blogging protocol.
Vans has posted its Spring colleciton in a month-by-month breakdown of each release, so head over to the Vans Vault site to check everything out. Yup, we spotted it first and have our RSS game fully functional this morning.

Just saw these murdered out Air Max Flywire 90s over at Complex in an interview with Jesse Leyva about the hybrid 90s. We hear the black/black AM90s are a spring drop, but that could be just those Chinese whispers in the wind…

Supra NS Skytop Burgundy
Supra seems to flood the market just as much as Lil Wayne these days; probably the reason why the two get along so well. Yesterday we reminded you to check for the Purple/Brown Vaiders, but if shiny patent leather is what you’re into, lock down this Burgundy Pack.
The set of three consists of a Strapped, Trinity, and Muska’s Skytop. Factory 413’s e-commerce shop has them now, with prices clocking in at $164 (Skytop), $168 (Trinity) and $172 (Strapped). Decisions, decisions, choose your favorite and get it HERE. Hit the jump for images of the other two sneakers from the pack.
