The Nike Free series fields a number of really nice, functional sneakers of the running variety.  The Nike Free Huarache Light happens to be one of my favorites at the moment.  Combining the Nike Free technology with the 90′s throwback Huarache upper, both styles are distinct but combine effortlessly.  The Light features a mesh upper with synthetic overlays, and a distinct plastic ringed lacing system.

Available in the three pictured colors (neutral grey, black, and light black team orange) at Premier.

Nike has released a new “graphic” pack for the Roshe Run.  One of my favorite Nikes, this new set features subtle floral graphics and some bright colors.  Of course, the upper is

Available in blue, yellow, and green at Nike Store.

I was inspired to make a list of some dope denim kicks for you all after reading about the soon to be released Ronnie Fieg x ASICS Gel Lyte III (pictured above).  Unfortunately, I can’t gather enough intel about this shoe to determine whether the swooshes are leather or not, but got a list of some other choice picks which have no leather in the upper.  I’m not sure whether these are 100% vegan, I haven’t vetted them all with regard to the glue.  But if any of you guys own a pair, or know, please leave a comment.  Thanks and enjoy!

This is a sweet catch for all you Nike Air Max fans out there.  Full on canvas releases are few and far between so we’ll have to take what we can get.  I spotted these at Urban Outfitters a little while back so they aren’t brand new, but they’re still available so get them while you still can – and if you like this bright blue colorway.  Holler!

Available at Urban Outfitters.  More Pics after the jump

Caught another Nike SB Stefan Janoski in canvas/stitched swoosh in all white.  The blanket whiteness would be a little too much if it wasn’t offset by the blue piping and lacing.

Available at Premier.

This Nike SB Janoski Canvas Mid in red and black was spotted recently, but unfortunately this won’t be a wide release.  This will be in store only at a few select retailers.  Fortunately, my buddy Karam was able to get one of these already at Blue Tile Lounge and there was no sign of any leather on the inside.  So grab these while you can!

Pardon me for the long delay between posts.  I know you all were fiending for a shoe fix.  Fortunately, I was unable to attend to VK duties because I was on holiday in lovely Cape Town, South Africa.  For those who haven’t been there, all I got to say is, you gotta go.  Anyway, I’m back for another one.

Haters gonna groan, but today we are featuring the Nike Huarache Free 2012.  This is a re-design of the old huarache running shoe from ’92, but with the Free technology.  I had a pair of Huaraches B.I.T.D., and they were truly sweet – lightweight, supportive, and breathable.  I imagine incorporation of Free is only going to make these babies even more cushy.

The Nike Free collection has always been interesting in design and concept.  The Roshe Run really raised my eyebrow though.  I’m not crazy about running shoes because I don’t run, so I don’t really give a crap about performance.  They generally tend to have too much going on, and they’re really expensive.  The Roshe Run addresses both of these problems handily.

I’ve had my eye out on the Air Max 90 canvas and denim since I saw them but wasn’t sure if they were vegan or not.  I shot an email to Nike and they confirmed that the canvas colorway was indeed animal free.  Not 100% sure on the denim but I am assuming if they do not use leather on the swoosh or other questionable details on this particular model, it would be consistent with other non-leather uppers.  Here’s what I’ve seen on various blogs and sites.  I don’t know exactly where you can get these but I would just search and see what comes up.  Good luck and post anything that would be useful in the comments section.  Thanks!

This is an interesting and appealing twist for someone who’s bored of plain white soles.  Size? of England is selling this Nike Court Force Low Multi-Colored Pack as part of their deadstock inventory.  Unfortunately when I checked there were only ridiculously small sizes available, so it probably won’t even be available for the majority of you.  But maybe some of you have kids that you might want to see rocking these?  Black canvas upper, with rainbow stitching.  The sole speaks for itself – it looks like they just smushed it on a surface covered with paint gobs.

Available at Size? for £65.00
