This weekly guide sorts the very best from the rest when it comes to the saturated world of sneaker releases, with information on prices and where to buy. Please note — some sneakers may sell out at speed.

Raffles, friends and family, 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 you can actually buy on the open market, right now.

This week’s selection is about as balanced as we’ve seen so far, featuring collaborations, classic sportswear brands, and good old running sneakers (with a twist).

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.

Verdy x Nike SB Dunk Low Pro

Release Date: September 20

Editor's Notes: Verdy teams up with Nike to breathe new life into Nike's classic Dunk sneaker through furry underlays inspired by his plush character. 

New Balance 1906L

Release Date: September 19

Editor's Notes: Though there have been many attempts, few sneaker-shoe hybrids have checked all the boxes as well as New Balance’s 1906 loafer. This loafer-ised sneaker is the perfect combination of dad shoe and dress shoe.

Editor's Notes: Song For The Mute and adidas are back with SFTM-004, building on the duo’s previous collaborations through the years. The drop features the classic Adistar Cushion with a blend of materials rarely found on one sneaker all at once.
