In a trend that would probably be a bit troublesome to its early innovators, Nike is becoming more and more comfortable with launching silhouettes that have no home in any particular sport. Sure, models like the Dunk have long been removed from their original context, but even that lifestyle juggernaut began as a basketball shoe. The all new Nike Manor is quite different, its casual DNA exemplified by the swooshless silhouette and NSW branding on the tongue. Right out of the gate the Manor is up for grabs in two premium releases, with the mint green and khaki colorways both available now. Check out the detailed images of both after the jump and grab the Nike Manor PRM from HANON SHOP now.

“Out of this world raucous” would be a perfect description for Cole Haan‘s LunarGrand Wingtip launch event last night. As the vivacious DJ Chelsea Leyland spun the evening through, dancers wearing full on lighted tracksuits showcased the LunarGrand’s innovative flexible Lunarlon sole.

And for those still looking for that perfect dress shoe with a hint of flair, look no further than Cole Haan SoHo flagship store, where the LunarGrand will be exclusively available starting today.

If there’s any one sneaker company with a particular affection for themed releases it has to be Supra, with the Crown Brand constantly cranking out two and three pair packs that are unified in their overall aesthetic.

And they are indeed delivering in the form of the Love Pack, at three part collection that includes the Cuttler Low, the Society Mid, and the Skytop. The full range of heights keeps things versatile, each one coming with a crackled blood red upper with their signature TUF finish applied.

Topping off succession of special editions for the 2012 NBA All-Star Game are the signature footwear for Jordan Brand athletes Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul. For his seventh back-to-back appearance as an All-Star, Dwayne Wade will put his best game forward with the new Fly Wade 2 in Varsity Royal/Midnight Navy. Hyperfuse upper along with a Lunarlon midsole, the lightweight ultra responsive design perfectly complement to Wade’s style of play. The same goes for Carmelo Anthony, who joins Wade on Team East, marking the fifth time he’s on the All-Star roster. For his power plays and explosive rushes through the opposition, Jordan Brand created the Jordan Melo M8, also in Varsity Royal/Midnight Navy, with ample protection like a heel Max Air unit and Nike Zoom at the forefoot. Recently traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, Chris Paul will take to the court in Orlando as a member of Team West. Designed with a multitude of components such as Podulon technology, Phylon midsole, Cushlon upper, and Flywire overlay, Paul’s CP3.V might not only be the lightest CP3 edition, but the most advanced as well. In Gym Red colorway, Paul looks onto to defend West Coast’s All-Star Game title in his fifth consecutive All-Star appearance next month.

All Jordan Brand Signature Editions for the 2012 NBA All-Star Game will be available at retailers starting on Thursday, February 23rd.

It just goes to show that great art does not date and Eric Haze is a fantastic example of an artist who have stayed true to his style for many decades. The legendary artist was invited to tackle the large wall inside the Stussy Las Vegas store. In his signature minimalist style, Haze drew stars and arrows with black and red paint. Luckily for us, there was a film crew ready to capture the action for the world to see. By the way, this video was shot back in 2009 and it hasn’t aged one bit. Take a look at the full video after the jump.

visvim reflected on its own Japanese culture for influence this season, naming the Spring/Summer 2012 collection Japanism. As many would know, Japanese culture is rich in traditional crafts and ‘sashiko’ is one of the traditional methods of decorating garments. Ordinarily, sashiko is applied to cotton fabrics, yet visvim had decided to give it a modern twist by decorating the suede upper of the Flynt Hi sneakers. The hand stitched pattern works perfectly with the soft appearance of the footwear, giving it a personality. Instead of the usual woven labels, these sneakers feature a printed leather tag on the tongue. Four colorways are available in black, green, navy, and blue at visvim stockists around the world.

In order to make this Liquid Reflective Field Jacket, the external fabric has been coated with thousands of glass micro-spheres. Each individual piece was finished off by hand-spraying and were carefully baked to achieve the desired results. In essence, these jackets are all one of a kind, showing unique refractions and color intensities that can only come from being made by hand. Furthermore, Stone Island made sure that these jackets would be water and wind resistant to withstand the harsh elements as well. In its natural form, the jacket appears milky green, yet it lights up brightly once a light is shone onto it. This jacket is available through FIRMAMENT in Berlin right now.

ASICS have been the underdog in the sneaker scene, with only a handful of connoisseurs understanding its true potential. Apart from being an excellent running shoe, these Gel Lyte models were developed in 1989 and have attained steady fan base. This particular Gel Lyte Speed model was designed with a lifestyle angle in mind and are dubbed the Tomatoes due to the tomato red highlights. Its distinct split tongue design stands out, thanks to the bright yellow tone pitted against navy foreground. The rest of the shoes are predominantly white and tomato red splatters can be found on the otherwise plain midsoles. Head over to HANON SHOP who are stocking these sneakers in their retail store and online shop.

Elephants may not be one the coolest animals in the animal kingdom, yet the elephant pattern has become popular due to their use on certain high profile basketball sneakers. By no means is New Era the first brand to re-appropriate the famed pattern on products, yet they have done a good job in recreating the complex pattern. Interestingly, they have opted to use the WM-01 caps instead of the 59FIFTY models. The 100% wool cap is printed with the intricate pattern and these caps come in gray or black bodies. CAP COLLECTOR ONE in Tokyo have these in stock right now and they are able to ship overseas as well.
