Kith x Marvel x ASICS GT-2160
Release Date: Aug 9
Editor's Notes: When you've created countless, successful ASICS drops throughout the years, it's only a matter of time 'til you become a villain. This 3-way collaboration creates a series of old-school running sneakers inspired by Marvel's legendary villains.
Nike Air Max SNDR
Release Date: Out Now
Editor's Notes: It's hard to believe a silhouette as contemporary as the SNDR was first released in 1999, but Nike is known for sitting on classics for decades.
The updated cross-trainer returned last month and is making the rounds in its new hyper-pink colorway.
ASICS UB8-S GT-2160
Release Date: Out Now
Editor's Notes: Weekly sneaker releases are always better when the Kiko Kostadinov Studio is involved.
This updated pair of the brand's GT-2160 boasts the designer's aesthetics in a "Brown Storm" palette with hot pink and cream overlays.
Satisfy x HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite
Release Date: Aug 9
Editor's Notes: Can any running duo top HOKA and Satisfy's collabs?
Though there's room for optimism, Satisfy and HOKA hold the crown for making functional collaborations (on the brand's lightest sneaker) that perform as well as they look.
