Nike Air Max Plus Swarovski

Release Date: December 5

Editor's Notes: There's one simple way to make Nike's Air Max Plus sneaker more luxurious: cover it in Swarovski crystals. And that's exactly what Nike has done here, replicating the look of the sneaker's OG sunset colorway.

New Balance 1906L Black

Release Date: December 4

Editor's Notes: Yes, there's another New Balance loafer releasing. And this time, the formal hybrid sneaker ditches its classic silver build in favor of a simpler, all-black look.

UGG x Palace Tasman Low

Release Date: December 6

Editor's Notes: December has begun and Palace is starting the coldest month of the year by releasing the coziest of shoes: UGGs.

ROA x Our Legacy Work Shop Andreas

Release Date: Out Now

Editor's Notes: Made in Italy, crafted from Swedish Vacchetta leather sourced from residual tannery offcuts, and refined using a traditional vegetable tanning process — ROA and Our Legacy Workshop are back with another premium hiking boot.

Jordan x Who Decides War Flight Court

Release Date: December 7

Editor's Notes: Nike's Jordan Flight Court model has arrived, debuting through this collaboration with luxury streetwear brand Who Decides War. Made to look worn-in, similar to Who Decides War's signature denim, the sneaker has hits of distressing with spots of jaggedy tonal embroidery

Salomon x atmos XT-6 GTX

Release Date: December 7

Editor's Notes: It might not look like it but this Salomon XT-6 sneaker, created with the Japanese retailer atmos, is actually camouflage. Well, kinda: the gray, GORE-TEX sneaker is designed to blend into Tokyo's cityscape.
