Bandai Namco x Nike Foamposite "Jin Kazama"
Release Date: October 4
Editor's Notes: In the realm of truly classic video games synonymous with coming of age, the Tekken franchise is up there with the best of them.
The video game franchise's latest collaboration is part of the “Fist Meets Fate” pack with this new pair paying homage to Jin Kazama, the game’s protagonist.
HOKA Kaha 2 Moc GTX
Release Date: Out Now
Editor's Notes: Compared to HOKA’s Tor Ultra Lo, Mafate Three2, or the recently re-released Stinson EVO, the Kaha 2 often flies under the radar. This new winterized moc version outfitted with GORE-TEX is the type of cozy kicks you'll want when it’s chilly out.
SNS x ASICS Gel-Quantum 360 VIII
Release Date: October 3
Editor's Notes: For the duo’s sixth collaboration, SNS and ASICS channel the energy of Stockholm’s underground club scene with the Gel-Quantum 360 VIII Utility.
The sneaker is dressed in muted tones with iridescent accents and features DIVISION SPACE cushioning to ensure comfort with each step.
Daily Paper x Converse Chuck 70
Release Date: Out Now
Editor's Notes: Converse and Daily Paper’s aesthetics go hand in hand, almost to the point that we’re wondering why they haven’t teamed up sooner. Yet, the duo’s first collection, Colours of Independence, recently dropped and features this updated pair of Chuck 70s embedded with Pan-African hues.
New Balance 1000
Release Date: October 6
Editor's Notes: New Balance is back with yet another updated '90s silhouette that sports one of the brand’s various grey hues. The new drop features suede overlays and its signature reflective logo on the quarter.
Nike Dunk Low "Berlin"
Release Date: October 5
Editor's Notes: While this pair is not a Berghain collab per se, it sure seems to take a few elements from the renowned venue. The “Berlin” Dunk Low even features a "No Photography Allowed" label on the tongue and is outfitted in hues akin to the city’s brutalist architecture.
