Shop the best sneaker releases on the market, as well as upcoming sneaker drops, below.
adidas Superstar Vintage
Release Date: Available now
Editor's Notes: The adidas Superstar is going luxe, again. While considerably cheaper than its $800 Made in Italy counterpart, this German-made, high-end leather, faux crocodile skin Superstar sits among the most premium adidas sneakers.
Salomon x Mental Athletic Ultra Glide 3
Release Date: Available now
Editor's Notes: It's rare for a hi-tech trail running shoe like the Salomon Ultra Glide 3 to make it onto one of these lists. But, with the help of Milan-based magazine Mental Athletic, the running shoe is looking especially striking.
New Balance x Action Bronson 992
Release Date: September 26
Editor's Notes: Straight from Mr Baklava himself, Action Bronson cooks up a New Balance 992 sneaker that we're getting strong workwear vibes from.
Salomon x The Broken Arm Pastoral
Release Date: September 24
Editor's Notes: Salomon and The Broken Arm, a duo that's been delivering brilliant sneakers for a decade, strike again. This time, hairy detailing provides stylistic funk to a pair of hardy boots.
ASICS Gel-Styrax
Release Date: September 25
Editor's Notes: One part mountain clog, one part techy ASICS sneaker. That's the recipe for Kiko Kostadinov's newest ASICS footwear experiment.
Stone Island x New Balance 574 Ghost
Release Date: September 23
Editor's Notes: Stone Island is a master of luxurious technical sportswear, so it figures that its collaborations with New Balance have focused on hardy performance materials. Not this time, though. The Stone Island x New Balance 574 Ghost shoe is surprisingly sumptuous and soft.
adidas x Bad Bunny Adizero 72 Sneaker
Release Date: September 27
Editor's Notes: To celebrate five years of making sneakers together, adidas and Bad Bunny are making more sneakers. The ripped-up and Frankensteined together SL72 is the most experimental from the duo's many sneakers, offered here in a mix of light pink and chocolate browns.
