New Balance and Provider are coming together for an exciting May release. Provider, which is an Australia-based company, really comes through in this collaboration. Utilizing a standard New Balance shoe, the NB1500, Provider spices it up with a local flair. If you are looking for light yet stylish pair of kicks, these shoes are a good fit for you.

The main color scheme for these shoes is blue, black and white. The blue is used in different shades and textures. While these shoes will be released in Australia, you can find them online at Provider.com.au when they are released on May 10th. Via SneakerNews

Another Nike Court Force will soon be available. This new version has an ungodly amount of colors, textures, shapes and patterns depicting the Native American theme. These kicks are definitely not for the faint of heart or those looking to hide in the crowd.

The colors used include white, black, yellow, blue, orange and red. The stitching is impressive, as is the cracked leather used in various parts of the shoe. The Nike swoosh is one of the few parts of the show that is not wild, as it’s a simple white swoosh with red outer stitching. The bulky laces are the perfect topper for these kicks. Via Hypebeast.

This New Balance M990 features beautiful light green suede throughout. It’s a very good looking shoe that will definitely get some attention.

The uppers feature suede combined with green mesh accents and white trim. These sneakers are a nice light shoe for spring and summer. Most green shoes are too loud, but these are actually done really well.

You can get these now at Bingo Runner for 18800 yen (about $185 USD). Via Sneaker Files.

These R55’s came to fruition after a collaboration of two very different companies – Mini and Onitsuka Tiger. The result looks quite nice. The three different colorways each have their own unique identity.

The silver and white colorway is a good option if you want to add some bling to your everyday attire. The blue and white color scheme is more laidback and subtle.

If you want a lively and active shoe without the shine, checkout the colorway that features white, yellow and black. While each version uses the same basic pattern, the personality of the shoe is altered dramatically by the different hues.

Although New Balance has never been known for their flash, they usually have solid releases. These New Balance Canvas CM576 shoes are another example of New Balance coming through. While unspectacular, you can rock these shoes with ease.

The hotter look of the two is the purple version, which utilizes two different shades of purple. While the shades are quite similar, you can notice the difference upon closer inspection.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a versatile shoe, it doesn’t get much more versatile than the black version of the New Balance Canvas CM576 line. These shoes are classically styled in almost all black, with smidgens of white and metallic silver. You can get these shoes right now at Flauge.

As the world continues to “go green,” we are seeing more and more shoes and other fashions made from natural materials and with the environment in mind. The New Balance A14 576 “Coffee Beans,” which is scheduled for release in August 2008, is one of those eco-friendly sneakers.

This shoe uses a cork and woven hemp upper to create a very natural and neutral yet quite unique appearance. The signature “N” is painted on. These shoes are very simplistic but the texture of the upper is interesting enough that they might get some attention. Check out the detailed pictures after the jump.

As part of the New Balance 576 20th Anniversary celebration, they have released the New Balance CM576D “Lux Leather” Pack. This pack features three shoes that look so good, you can almost substitute them for dress shoes.

The entire shoe is created from structured premium leather – including the inner lining. The three colorways available are black, brown and khaki. They feature allover color with embossed detailing.

These shoes are very impressive and some of the best looking New Balance kicks that I’ve seen in quite some time. If you are a sneakerhead who doesn’t like to put on dress shoes, these could be a fabulous choice for you. These shoes are available right now at Mita for ¥ 14,900 (about $150 USD).
