Sneaker game is getting more serious than ever in 2019. Yet, this is good news for us! The brands are revealing new series' and models one after another and we love them all!
Here are latest trends and collaborations:
1. New Balance Coastal Pack
Taking inspiration from the crustaceons and and other shell-fish native to the east-cost shoreline of the US, New Balance is dropping off a breezy “Coastal Pack” infused with seaside-inspired palettes. The trio includes two new editions of the 997 silhouette, as well as a fresh version of the 998.
2. Adidas x Missoni
Italian fashion house Missoni and iconic sportswear brand adidas Running have collaborated on a limited-edition range of running apparel and footwear. The collection features the brand’s iconic flame pattern throughout. The footwear carries the adidas Ultraboost with the Missoni space-dying technique on the knitted upper and combines it with adidas’ BOOST technology in the shoe’s midsole for vital support.
3. Reebok Debuts Neon-Pop Run.r 96 x Sock Run.r
Reebok has unveiled a slew of new colourways of its Run.r 96 and Sock Run.r silhouettes for Spring/Summer 2019. The two technical sneakers pay homage to retro-futuristic pairs such as the 1996 PUMP EVO prototype, which lends its signature split cushioned sole unit to the two pairs.
4. Off-White™ x Nike
Initially teased by Virgil Abloh himself during Coachella, here is a better look at the latest Off-White™ x Nike collaborative sneaker.
The new kicks feature an entirely unique structure which takes influences from the Nike Air Presto, as seen on the tongue. The one seen above is dressed in more subtle colours of white and beige, while neon yellow hits can be found on the laces, toe cap and the exaggerated traction grips on the rubber sole. Some sections of the shoe have also been crafted from what looks to be glow-in-the-dark panels. Finally black Swoosh insignias on both the lateral and medial sides finishes off the overall look of this latest model.
Stay tuned for an official release date.
5. Y-3 RUNNER 4D II
Y-3 and adidas continue their collection of future-forward footwear with the release of the Y-3 RUNNER 4D II. This time around, the 4D sole unit returns in a Spring/Summer-ready bone-white hue, supporting a double-layer Primeknit upper. The limited-edition sneaker will release at Y-3 stores, y-3.com and select stockists on May 2, 2019.
