adidas Predator Mundial
Release Date: Feb 1
Editor's Notes: First released 30 years ago, the Predator has been a go-to boot for football players and arguably changed the game forever when Zinedine Zidane dominated the 1998 World Cup. Now, the classic football boot arrives in a street-ready version, adorned with quilted leather and reflective 3-Stripes along the lateral.
ESENES Eyeball Mule
Release Date: Feb 2
Editor's Notes: We’re only a month through the year but ESENES already has a strong contender for mule of the year. From the hairy texture to the engaging optics, this slip-on shoe is a work of art.

New Balance 860v2
Release Date: Feb 1
Editor's Notes: Though New Balance's 1906R and 2002R have remained popular for good reason, the 860v2 is up there with the best of them. This new colorway features purple overlays along the gray mesh upper and N-ergy tech for all-day comfort.
