A new year and a new set of colours for a couple of regulars on the Adidas reissue circuit – the Adidas Samba and Adidas Samba Suede.
Following on from the recent leather reissue in white and green, there are three variations up for order right now, with the Sambas pictured above having a nubuck upper, vulcanised sole and gold Samba detailing in a choice of 'aluminium and bole' or 'espresso and orange'. Both are available for £49.
We saw a pair in all-white earlier this year, but now there's a reissue of the Puma G Vilas 2 trainers with some added colour.
We do like the G Vilas 2, a section shoe designed for Argentinian tennis ace Guillermo Vilas in the early 80s, it was instantly a terrace classic and still catches the eye today.
The latest reissue is in white with either green (above) or navy blue detailing, throwing in some G Vilas 2 and Puma branding, a perforated toe and tongue, as well as a leather upper with nubuck toe and rubber outsole. £55 is the price.

We have mentioned a couple of the sale here, but if you are after some men's clothing and footwear bargains in the sales, check out our His Knibs site, where we're listing all the decent sales as and when we find them. The ones with a touch of the 'classic' anyway.
So far, there's the likes of Size?, End Clothing, Crombie, Lyle and Scott, ASOS, Fred Perry, Baracuta, Kiosk 78 and Hanon, with new ones being added on a regular basis.
If your wardrobe needs a makeover, check it out now.
Always worth checking out the Size? sale, although you might have to trawl through to find the right sizes and the full 50 per cent discounts. You'll need to be quick before the best stuff goes too.
But if you get lucky, there are some real bargains here – like the classic Puma Roma 68 above, a football-themed shoe that celebrated the European Cup win for Italy in 1968, this time in white and navy.
Originally £54.99, it's in the sale for £29.99.
End Clothing always has a good end of year sale – and the current one has just started, offering the usual big discounts on classic labels.
Indeed, there's some cracking clobber at knock-down prices, the likes of Baracuta, Adidas (including the Craftmanship Samba trainers, Roms and Gazelle OG to name just three), A.P.C, as well as Pretty Green, Fila Vintage, Gitman, Heritage Research, Fred Perry, Levi's, Lyle & Scott, Lacoste, Sergio Tacchini and many more.
Just one example above, the Fila 82 Crewneck we featured a short time back. Then it was £69, now it's a tasty £41 – and perfect for the weather.
Nike is all too often overshadowed by other trainer labels on these pages (usually for good reason). But we do love the latest reissue of the classic Nike Cortez trainers.
A lightweight shoe that dates back to 1972 under the original name of the Tiger Corsair, it now gets a back to basics reissue in a light nylon finish and in a sky blue with white details. But there;s still room for the contrast jagged sole, round toe piece and trademark 'swoosh'.
Available on pre-order now, £50 is the price you'll need to pay.
