There’s a couple of new Missoni collabo pairs on the way for fall, but here’s proof that the Nike Auckland Racer can signal premium quality all on its own. Two new pairs for spring go with tried and true combinations most strongly correlated with New Balance’s classics lineup: grey and navy suedes Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 on old school runners with a Nike Free Run 5.0 V2 top notch twist. In the case of these Auckland Runners, the luxurious appeal is driven home by the carmel brown leather lining and tongue tags that seem to be popping up more and more often these days.

Pictured above is a case of a shoe where we’d only previously seen up-close teaser shots, yet we already knew exactly what it was going to look like. The UNDFTD x fragment design x Nike Chuck Taylor Free Run takes a silhouette sneakerheads know like the back of our collective hand and applies a few twists to keep things interesting and befitting a limited premium release. All the details on these have been covered in red, everything from the eyelets to the toecap and foxing band, which creates a uniform effect without obscuring the fact that you are indeed rocking a fresh pair of Chucks. And while the design is on point, this pair’s release date today came up against competition of an intergalactic proportion; will you pick up a pair of what’s become the sleeper release for February 24th, 2012?
