Dolce & Gabbana has caught sneakerheads off guard over the last couple of years, offering a diverse line-up of shoes that have impressed trainer lovers from every background. No longer pigeon-holed to just those in high-fashion, D&G sneakers are also packed with style and comfort and their new Spring/Summer 2012 Collection adds to their already strong roster of styles, plus some redesigned silhouettes of some of their most popular classics. The Guatemala is a new addition, built with a calf-skin leather upper and perforated lining for ventilation, this model comes in a clean white low-top or a black basketball-inspired high-top that includes touches of nylon and suede.The Morocco is the sleekest silhouette of the collection, made with a honeycomb suede overlay for a retro look, while the Malta represents a new direction for the brand, with a worn-out vintage look for both its high and low-top versions. The Venezuela, Australia, and Germany are all casual, low-top favorites from previous seasons; simple and chic staples of any sneaker line-up. The high-top Bolivia rounds out the collection, with a leather upper attached to a thick rubber sole. You can choose your favorite styles and colors now at their online store or in-person at a location near you.

It appears that our ‘Classics Revisited’ segments have had a direct effect on our Sneaker News Blogs: WDYWT regulars, because three of the five Air Max 1s featured last week have popped up in this week’s Top 20! Furthermore, a sneakerhead out in the Netherlands shows us that he’s got the Air Force 1 game on complete lockdown, because three of his inclusions were worthy of this week’s twenty best (and we even left a couple out). The Reebok Question has been a trending sneaker, so we decided to cluster three sick Mid colorways as one. This week’s Sneaker News Blogs: Best of WDYWT is definitely one you shouldn’t miss out on, because we’ve got plenty more from Puma, Converse, Fila, and a plethora of Nike fire, so check ‘em all out below and vote for your fave at the very end!

Converse is certainly doing its’ fair share of collaborations right now. Last week, we told you about how John Varvatos had redesigned the classic Converse Chuck Taylor in order to create the “Double Zip” Chuck Taylors, which featured a couple of zippers on the iconic sneakers. And, it looks like that’s not the only Converse collabo going down right now. In addition to those sneakers, Convese also teamed up with New Era recently to create the Chuck Taylor All Star Hi “New Era” sneaker. And, while it’s not wildly different than the original Chuck Taylors like the “Double Zips” are, the “New Era” does look like it’ll be a must-have sneaker for fans of both of the brands.
As you can see from the photo of the “New Era,” the sneaker is available in a high-top design (as if you couldn’t tell from the name of it) that features a navy wool upper, a white sole, white laces, and the New Era logo splashed across the back of the heel. The sole also features a navy blue stripe that seems to reflect the classic design that New Era injects into many of their hats. It’s a classy-looking sneaker that keeps things simple and represents both of the brands that put time and effort into making it come to life.
If you’re an avid sneakerhead, someone who collects hats, or just a big fan of New Era, then you’re probably going to want to make sure that this sneaker ends up somewhere in your collection. Currently, it’s only available through retailers like New Era Japan, though we wouldn’t be surprised to see it pop up elsewhere sometime in the near future. But, if you’re planning on rocking a navy blue New York Yankees New Era cap at all this summer, this sneaker would be the perfect compliment. So, make sure you cop it.

It seems like all brands are coming at full force this summer, taking advantage of the school-free zone and whipping out some of the best releases of the year. From Jordan Brand, we already know about the Golden Moments Pack, but another set of AJKO’s are poised to make a return as well. The ‘Gold Medal’ Foamposite is also one to look out for (as are the Silver/Crimson joints), and the upcoming LeBron 9 ‘MVP’ should kick the LeBron fire up a notch. The most talked-about SB Dunk Low over the last year finally released in ‘Nontourage’ form, the Air Yeezy 2 looks poised to release on June 9th, and the Air Penny line continues to go strong with a first clear look at the ‘Phoenix’ Air Penny V. His former ORL running-mate Shaq has been in the news, as Reebok confirmed a release of the Shaq Attaq and Shaqnosis for 2013.
The ‘Rings’ Pack from Asics and Bait brings another bit of Olympic flavor, while some upcoming New Balance releases have the classic-runner game on lock with some great 1500s and 991s. For the skate-friendly style, Vans came through with some notable headlines of the week, while the Air Safari Pack has a confirmed release date in Europe. Jay-Z and Kanye repeated as the top 2 Celebrity Feet features of the week, while Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics came out on top with his Air Jordan VIII PE. Finally, Sneaker News highlighted five awesome Air Max 1 releases of the past, using each night to give a special spotlight to Parra, HUF, Kid Robot, Atmos, and Ben Drury. More of Weekly Rewind is just ahead, so get caught up in the world of sneakers with a thorough weekly summary from the authority in Sneaker News!

Coming just days after the release of the Air Jordan Retro 4 “Cav” release is the “Cavs” sneaker cake that takes inspiration from the same shoe that sold out rather quickly over the weekend.
To celebrate upcoming Atlanta rapper Lameez from Mobfioso Music Ent and his new video which will be released Winter 2012, Made Fresh Daily Cakes in Atlanta cooked up something special for the Georgia rapper. Made to perfection, this tasty creation shows similar characteristics to the real version with Air Jordan 4 ‘Flight’ text on the tongue, a jumpman logo on the heel, and even details that line the side panels and shoe laces.
As it said that Lameez is a big Jordan fan, he also wore his Jordan “Cav” 4′s during the event to match his cake. Let us know what you think about this work of art in the comment section below.
