Shop the best sneaker releases on the market, as well as upcoming sneaker drops, below.
New Balance 204L
Release Date: November 25
Editor's Notes: The New Balance 204L's arrival has been timely. The flat-soled runner introduced itself earlier this year, riding the wave of fashion's current fascination with slim sneaker silhouettes. This newest version gives things a subtle update, adding hits of sky blue to the shoe's silver-colored base.
Nike Air Max 95000
Release Date: November 28
Editor's Notes: This sculptural, laceless design reinterprets the Air Max 95 through the lens of Zellerfeld, high-fashion’s go-to 3D-printing pioneer.
PUMA x Rombaut Levitation
Release Date: Available now
Editor's Notes: Parisian footwear label Rombaut's second PUMA collaboration reworks the German sportswear giant's flat-soled Speedcat racing shoe with a bulbous bubble heel that suspends the shoe in mid-air.
SVD x adidas Adistar HRMY Rockstone
Release Date: November 26
Editor's Notes: Spanish streetwear retailer SVD has tried its hand at beautifying one of adidas' most imposing, oversized runners. The Adistar HRMY is so bulky, it's almost HOKA-esque.
Clarks x Manhattan Records x atmos Wallabee BT
Release Date: Available now
Editor's Notes: Japanese retail giant atmos and Shibuya’s Manhattan Records have dressed Clarks' signature Wallabee boot in blue suede. The catch? Only 151 pairs exist.
Nike Air Jordan 4 Black Cat
Release Date: November 28
Editor's Notes: One of Nike's most stealthy sneakers ever is back again. As with all of Nike's "Black Cat" sneakers, the colorway dresses a classic model in the simplest of colorways: black on black.
adidas x DIOS Superstar XLG
Release Date: November 24
Editor's Notes: The adidas Superstar's wilder, chunkier edition gets updated at the hands of Texan streetwear label DIOS. The bulky silhouette comes with new raw-edge canvas adidas stripes designed to fray with wear.
