Nike launched the Gladiator for women last year, and it seems that 2010 has some more of the highly breathable, sandle-esque sneaker in store. There will be a total of six colourways, my favourite being the one up top. Look for it at select Nike retailers.

For the Fall, Reebok will be releasing the “Divinity Greek” pack, which was inspired by Greek mythology and its deities. The first pair was dedicated to Medusa, and features a snakeskin print on the upper, which is no doubt a reference to her hair. the second utilizes a black upper that bares a print of the constellation Ursa Major, and is dedicated to Callisto. And last but not least we have a pair dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom and the most noble of war, which sports a brownish tan upper and depicts her shield.

Once again, Fafi has gotten together with adidas for the Spring to design a collection of clothing and footwear.

One of my favourite brands (in case you didn’t know), Hellz have teamed up with Vans to design two pairs of sneakers. We previously reported about it back in August, but now we have some better quality images. The first sneaker, named the Hadley, was inspired by vintage motorcycle boots, while the Sophie is an updated saddle shoe made to coincide with Hellz’s unique aesthetic. The Hadley will go for $85, while the Sophie will set you back $65. Hadley or Sophie? Or both?:)

With Valentine’s Day approaching, leave no doubt that Nike will release some limited edition shoes for the occasion. First up, we have a Dunk Hi featuring a red and white upper, and secondly an Air Force 1 with the same matching pattern.

Check out the Air Force 1 after the jump.

One of the latest sneakers from the Converse RED line of sneakers is a new pair of All Stars, which have been dubbed the Leather Jacket. The upper was made to resemble a motorcycle jacket and comes complete with a quilted lining, heavy-duty zips and snaps. They’re a bit pricy, going for $200, but at least some of it goes to a good cause. You can get it now through Converse’s webshop.
