From Nike to Salomon, the Seven Best Sneakers to Cop Right Now
From Nike to Salomon, this week’s selection is about all about clever collabs.
This weekly guide sorts the very best from the rest when it comes to the saturated world of sneaker releases, with information on release dates and where to buy. Please note: Some sneakers may sell out at speed.
Raffles, friends and family releases, and player exclusives — all of that before a mere mention of the many fire general sneaker releases out there. The world of sneaker drops can be a tricky place to navigate, but we’re here to help. Behold, the best of the best of what's arriving on shop floors this week.
Among other highlights, this week’s selection sees a bunch of cool collaborations roll in: next chapters in the books of established partnerships like between Nike x Kids Of Immigrants, and Salomon x Pas Normal Studios, as well as premier link-ups, like in the case of Vans x Metagirl.
The cream of the sneaker crop awaits you. What are you waiting for?
Editor's Notes: Just in time for football-core summer, Kids Of Immigrants reworks Nike’s Total 90 into a mule. The folded tongue and terrace nostalgia remain intact, but the open-back construction gives the silhouette a far more relaxed and modern attitude. The khaki colorway feels especially right.
Editor's Notes: Built for gravel running and long-distance comfort, Pas Normal Studios’ latest Salomon sneaker pairs technical performance attributes with a sharp urban silhouette. The sock-like ankle collar is the key detail here, wrapping the foot for a secure fit while giving the shoe its sleek, futuristic shape.
Editor's Notes: The sound of tartan print with a glossy, almost-plasticy finish shouldn’t translate into something this good-looking… and yet. That clash between slightly old-school and slightly tacky is exactly what gives this Total 90 so much personality.
Editor's Notes: Chaos, but curated. Tokyo-based collective Metagirl gives Vans’ Premium Old Skool flashy finishes, playful hardware, and just the right amount of DIY energy.
Editor's Notes: Clearly inspired by classic skate shoes, Late Nite Stars’ ASICS collab keeps things minimal through dark gray suede uppers and a low-profile shape. The fragmented sole unit subtly breaks up the silhouette, giving the otherwise stripped-back sneaker an off-beat edge.
Editor's Notes: Satisfy’s approach to running gear has always been less about loud branding and more about quiet technical excellence. Its take on adidas' Adizero follows the same formula: featherweight construction, stripped-back detailing, and marathon-level performance.
Editor's Notes: Nike’s Structure Plus understands restraint. Watercolor-like green tones and a sculpted, stacked sole give the sneaker presence without falling into full tech-runner excess. Handsome, ever so quietly.
