Marking the centenary of legendary British tennis player and style icon Fred Perry's birth, UK sneaker boutique Offspring have teamed up with the brand of his namesake to produce a special commemorative canvas Kingston and a tidy Tipped Cuff. Featuring an embroidered '100' beneath the famous Fred Perry laurel wreath logo, these will be available exclusively from Offspring stores come October.

Nike Dunk Hi Dotty Dunk Pack

Nike Sportswear shakes on the spice with its forthcoming Dunk Hi pack under the Athletics East division. Normally it’s the midsole that gets the full speckle treatment, but this time it’s the upper that’s rife with the trademark dotty effect. The black pair has been electrified with vault-yellow dots and laces, all sliced up with a black patent swoosh but it's the red pair that sports a more traditional varsity red and royal blue colourway. The 'Athletics East' tongue labels give a nod to Nike’s 'ol-school track heritage. Look out for them come December.

Nike Delta Force Hi AC

Nike continue on their vulcanised voyage turning basketball silhouettes into modified skate sneakers, this time with the Delta Force High. We've seen the result of the Dunk Hi AC giving heads a new streamlined sole to creep in, but this time it's the Delta that turns a once chunky baller boot into a sophisticated Swoosh. This is just a taste of what's to come next season, so no doubt you'll be seeing more revamped versions of your favourite kicks comin' atcha soon.

Nike Dunk Track Pack

Hailing from Nike’s ND indie line, these North and East Dunks are an irreverent take on Nike’s proud track-and-field heritage. The brash Dunk low features midnight black panels spangled with starry white specks, flashed with volt-neon laces. The Dunk Hi is slightly more reserved, opting for a tried and true varsity maize and flint colourway.

Feiyue Season Preview

Feiyue are back with a fresh range of lo-fi loafers plus a new boot which brings more of a sports-culture edge to their range. The Plain is a traditional no-fuss plimsoll pruned for the fashion set whilst the 10N28E hi-top (leather or canvas) is described as a homage to 80s and 90s sneaker culture for some reason. For the trivia buffs out there, ‘10N28E’ are the geographic co-ordinates of Shanghai, Feiyue’s birthplace.

Nike Aeroflight Hi Le

The Nike Aeroflight has been given a metallic glint in previous times, but this season Nike decided to go all out with this striking gold glamazon. The upper sports dimpled gold leather and a glittering leopard-print on the heel and toe, while the lining and laces come in a perky hot pink. Adding extra sparkle is the platinum swoosh and matching jumbo 'NIKE' on the tongue.
