From Salomon to adidas, the Seven Best Sneakers to Cop This Week
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.
From a Tyrell Winston x adidas runner, to a shaggy first-time collab from Saucony x Stan Birch, and a bright butter yellow Salomon XT-4 OG Domingo, this week is packed with funky team efforts and crazy colorways — perhaps as a last hurrah before we return to more muted-tone fall/winter shoes.
The cream of the sneaker crop awaits you. What are you waiting for?
Shop the best sneaker releases on the market, as well as upcoming sneaker drops, below.
adidas x Tyrrell Winston CLIMACOOL 4D Shoes
Release Date: September 9
Editor's Notes: Process runs throughout Tyrrell Winston's artwork, from the basketballs to the cigarette butts. However, this time he teams up with adidas to lean into the process of the Climacool 4D. From the woven upper, to the football-inspired tongue-tab, to the bold red three stripe, this is a creative masterclass of references, process and collaboration. From an artist so associated with street-centered collaborations, this is an insight into what is next for Winston and adidas.
adidas PW Water Moc
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: straight from the archive, Pharrell Williams and adidas are ressurecting this adventure staple for the post gorpcore world. From the bungee overhead strap, to a neoprene tongue with mesh cut outs, theres a rugged nostalgia to this archive icon. In a reflective yellow, they lean in to the stand out look.
New Balance Sydney Levrone 9060R
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: The boundary between running and sneakers has become thinner than ever recently, and in the case here, this manifests in New Balance's collab with Olympian Sydney Levrone. This 9060R is the new comfort-coded offering from New Balance, with Levrone injecting a knowledge of recovery and eye for clean design.
Vans Premium Old Skool 36 Shoe
Release Date: September 10
Editor's Notes: No "sneakers of the week" list is complete without the inclusion of a Premium Old Skool 36. This week, Vans are back in primary colors with a faded green, red, ylue, and Yellow, befitting the brands' playful edge. With pearlized accessories on the side-stripe and the premium cushioning, the devil is in the details with this Old Skool.
Adidas x Simone Rocha CLIMACOOL Shoes
Release Date: September 10
Editor's Notes: Week on week, adidas refuses to play it safe with its collaborations, and the Simone Rocha shoes here are the latest example of that. From the bow details to the subtle three stripe, this whimsy hiker- slash performance sneaker feels like a natural extension of the Simone Roche world. Functional, fashionable, and also plain cute, this collab literally ties the strengths of both parties in one neat bow.
Air Max 95 Big Bubble "Greedy" 'White and Medium Ash'
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: It was challenging to pick a photo that does the AM95 Big Bubble 'Greedy' justice. Neon green, solar red, mandarin orange, this is every Air Max icon morphed into one patchwork quilt of a sneaker. Surprisingly understated, this fresh take on the classic has all the features we know and love, and is the perfect homage to the long history of the Air Max 95. It's a must-cop for the life-long collectors and first-time fans alike.
Salomon XT-4 OG DOMINGO
Release Date: September 10
Editor's Notes: The Salomon XT6's playful younger brother is back with a bright yellow, street food-inspired XT-4 OG. A firm favorite among foodies and streetwear heads alike, it makes sense that Salomon tapped the casual cuisine titans at Tacos Domingo for a collaboration. Yum!
