Todd Snyder and New Balance continue their long-standing collaboration with the introduction of the 574 Legacy “Parchment & Pine” pack.

According to the menswear designer, the new styles are a “rugged luxe reimagining of one of New Balance’s most iconic silhouettes.”

Designed by Snyder with hues inspired by the holiday season, this new sneaker capsule is crafted with premium materials, and features a mix of clean leather and hairy suede uppers, complemented by a hairy suede “N” logo on the lateral sides. Other details include a lightweight EVA foam cushioning in the midsole and heel, as well as ENCAP midsole cushioning supported by a durable polyurethane rim.

When creating this pack, Snyder noted he was inspired by New York City’s Flower District during the holiday season. The “Pine” colorway is a deep evergreen, reminiscent of lush holiday foliage and freshly trimmed branches. While the “Parchment” colorway is a soft brown tone with a matte finish, evoking the parchment paper used to wrap trimmings.

Originally introduced in 1988, the 574 Legacy aims to preserve the timeless appeal of the iconic 574 sneaker model.

This latest collaboration comes as Snyder continues to release must-have shoe tie-ups. In June, Snyder teamed with gardening experts Gardenheir on a 12-piece capsule collection that ranges from clogs to smocks. The capsule features two made-in-Italy shoe styles – the aforementioned gardening clog and a leather fisherman sandal.

In May, Snyder joined forces with Sperry to update the footwear brand’s signature Authentic Original boat shoe. Dubbed the “Sperry x Todd Snyder Authentic Original,” the collaborative style boasts a luxe suede upper sourced from Charles F. Stead & Co. in Leeds, UK. 

These collabs also come as Snyder launched his first-ever mainline shoe style – the Tuscan Court sneaker – in August 2023.

As for New Balance, the brand just took home the Company of the Year award at the 2024 FNAAs on Wednesday night. Presented by Olympian Gabby Thomas and accepted by New Balance chief executive officer Joe Preston, the company couldn’t miss in 2024.

“The teamwork that is exhibited across our company is the key reason why we are here tonight,” Preston said at Wednesday’s event in NYC. “It’s a fearlessly independent mindset that we operate from being privately held that we think allows us that opportunity.”

The Todd Snyder and New Balance’s 574 Legacy “Parchment & Pine” pack retails for $120 and is now available for purchase exclusively at Todd Snyder shops and on Toddsnyder.com.

The Bad Bunny and Adidas partnership marches on with the pending launch of a new sneaker model which is actually two designs spliced into one.

The upcoming Bad Bunny x Adidas Adizero SL 72 collaboration includes three colorways of the old-meets-new model, which makes its debut in this collection. The shoe blends two distinct eras of Adidas running shoes by combining the bottom half of the Adizero Neftenga, a 2000s-era performance runner, with the top of the more retro SL 72.

The mesh of the Adizero model has been left with a raw edge as it switches to the nylon construction of the SL 72. The hybrid shoe almost looks as if the two individual models have been stitched together, resulting in a juxtaposed look that is both classic and modern at the same time. 

To further emphasize the conjoined aesthetic, two of the collaboration’s colorways feature heavily contrasting colors: one shifts from maroon nylon on the SL 72 components to a bright orange mesh, while another combines a royal blue nylon top with the tennis ball-like neon yellow Adizero Neftenga shade reminiscent of what was seen on Wales Bonner’s recent collaboration. The project’s third colorway takes a much more conservative direction, combining white and off-white shades with blue branding for a (mostly) matching look.

The public’s first glimpse at the Bad Bunny x Adidas Adizero SL 72 came in November, when Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles wore the white colorway at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. 

Colorways of the Bad Bunny x Adidas Adizero SL 72 include “Off White/Chalk White/Wonder White” (SKU JP8816), “Maroon/Chalk White/Semi Solar Red” (SKU JP8815) and “Blue/Core White/Shock Yellow” (JQ8757). Retail pricing has not been confirmed, but all three pairs are expected to be released this month.

Swedish fashion brand Our Legacy and Italian footwear company ROA have just collaborated for the third time and the resulting product is available now, but it may not last long.

Released under Our Legacy’s Work Shop banner — which focuses on upcycling and is home to many of the label’s collaborations — is the ROA Andreas boot. The Andreas is ROA’s flagship boot and boasts a beefy Vibram Megagrip sole with a rubberized toe cap. It’s described by the brand as a “hybrid boot” which is equipped to tackle Italy’s Dolomite mountains while also looking casual enough for fashionable city wear.

For this collaboration, Our Legacy Work Shop stayed true to its reuse ethos by sourcing premium Vachetta leather from Sweden’s Tärnsjö Garveri factory. Specifically, the boots are constructed with residual tannery offcuts or in other words, scraps that would be otherwise discarded if not for the collab.

The repurposed leather was then treated to a traditional vegetable tanning process to prepare it for use, but the brands left any natural imperfections in place to give each boot its own character — an example of which can be seen on the brown leather texture below. Available in brown and black leather colorways, both styles are designed to develop unique patinas over time.

Our Legacy Work Shop’s signature yin-yang logo is embroidered on the lateral side while the right and left tongues are stamped with the words “work” and “shop,” respectively. ROA’s logo appears at the lateral toe and medial heel as well as the tongue. Both pairs come with black-and-white hiking-style shoelaces and are also packaged with alternate orange laces.

The Our Legacy x ROA Andreas boot is available now from roa-hiking.com, ourlegacy.com, Our Legacy stores, Slam Jam stores and Dover Street Market’s London and Ginza locations. The boot retails for $630 and is beginning to sell out in select sizes. 

Travis Scott fans will have the chance to kick off the new year in style as the release of his newest Nike sneaker is lined up for a January release.

After debuting in a tonal “Sail” look, the artist’s Nike Zoom Field Jaxx sneaker has a new “Light Chocolate” colorway coming next. While the CJ1 T-Rexx (formerly known as the Jumpman Jack) is Travis Scott’s first Jordan signature shoe, the Zoom Field Jaxx is the “Utopia” rapper’s debut Nike model. The half-runner, half-trainer design takes cues from Nike’s 1997 Air Zoom Spiridon model, most notably the model’s midsole and outsole tooling, which features small tweaks such as a shark teeth motif near the forefoot. 

The upcoming “Light Chocolate” version of the Travis Scott x Nike Zoom Field Jaxx fuses a white leather upper with a wide-gauge cream-colored mesh base and brown accents throughout. Like the CJ1 T-Rexx, the Zoom Field Jaxx features a midfoot support strap, which reads “Cactus” on the left medial side and “Shark” on the right medial. The heel features a reflective stripe adorned with “Nike Air Zoom Spiridon” text and embroidery featuring Travis Scott’s smiley face logo juxtaposed with the Swoosh emblem. The heel also features a textured material around the collar, giving the design some added flair.

And before this new-look Zoom Field Jaxx arrives, Nike will release the original Air Zoom Spiridon from ’97 in December. Several additional colorways of the late-‘90s runner are expected to be released throughout 2025. 

Originally expected to arrive before the end of the year, the Travis Scott x Nike Zoom Field Jaxx “Light Chocolate” is currently set to be released on Jan. 17 for a retail price of $170. It will be available from both Nike’s SNKRS platform and Travis Scott’s website. The collaboration’s SKU is HQ3073-100. This story will be updated with any potential changes.

Mephisto and Fursac have joined forces on a new footwear collaboration.

For this tie-up, the two French brands have teamed up on Mephisto’s Dribbler sneaker model. Available in white with silver accents and navy with some black touches, this pair nods playfully to those who might have missed the renewed vision both brands have embraced in recent years

For Fursac, this evolution has been spearheaded by artistic director Gauthier Borsarello since 2021, whose passion for vintage collection-pieces and true craftsmanship has influenced his take on the Mephisto iconic design.

“This collaboration was born of shared values: a shoe that doesn’t compromise on style or comfort, bridging generations while celebrating the heritage and expertise of our brands,” Borsarello said in a statement. “White and navy were natural choices, the Fursac French wardrobe’ colors. I love the versatility of the Dribbler, elevating an elegant look as seamlessly as it completes a relaxed, casual outfit.”

Details of the shoe include the rubber “Run” sole, which incorporates three exclusive Mephisto technologies. The “Airbag System,” made from soft rubber and visible through a transparent window, pairs with the “Shock Absorber” for cushioning and bounce, while the “Soft Air” feature ensures a comfortable fit inside. The supple leather upper completes the look.

Axel Cattaux, designer at Mephisto, added that the Dribbler remains an “iconic model” for the brand. “Its clean, simple lines beautifully highlight the quality of our leathers and craftsmanship, expressing the true DNA of Mephisto: to offer products that merge contemporary style with unmatched comfort,” Cattaux said. “This timeless design integrates perfectly into the Fursac wardrobe, revealing the modernity and transgenerational appeal of our brands.”

The collaborative Fursac x Mephisto Dribbler sneaker, which retails for 400 euros, is now available in Fursac’s flagship store as well as online at fursac.com.

Ugg and Palace have come together for their latest tie-up.

Launching on Dec. 6, the latest collaboration between the Deckers Brands-owned label and the London-based skateboard brand updates Ugg’s Tasman mule and, for the first time, the Classic Ultra Mini.

The two footwear styles are updated this go around with an intricate multi-layered embroidery that features a large tiger and a mountain along with Palace branding motifs.

Along with these two shoe models, the collaboration also includes the first-ever Ugg Palace jacket, which is made of soft suede with shearling lining and features embroidered details on the arms, exposed shearling trims and edges, and Palace’s intertwined “P” logo in shearling on the back. Rounding out the collection is the Ugg Palace bucket hat, and Ugg Palace tote bag.

 According to Ugg, the newest collaboration will come to life through a series of social first images and videos that take the consumer inside the mind of Palace skateboarder, Lucien Clarke, where he is seen experiencing the new collaboration through a surreal journey that spotlights the details of the collection.

This latest drop follows the duo’s release in November 2023 with a pair of trendy Tasman slip-ons. Available in either brown or olive, the drop featured the low-cut cozy model covered in a lively mix of embroidered patches. A baby devil, bomb-wielding duck, and smiling frog are among the characters, with a peace sign and yin-yang symbol thrown in for good measure.

In October 2023, Palace gave the Tasman a quieter makeover through wavy, layered paneling in brown and blue color-blocking. Their debut collaboration with Ugg in March saw the Classic Short Boot take on lightning bolts across the upper and a lightning boot on the heel in black and brown.

Styles from the latest Ugg Palace collaboration will be available at select Palace stores and online at PalaceSkateboards.com in North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East on Dec. 6 and in Japan, and Korea on Dec 7. Shoppers can also explore the collection in person at a one-day pop-in at the Ugg Shanghai store on Dec. 7.

Launching on Dec. 6, the latest collaboration between the Deckers Brands-owned label and the London-based skateboard brand updates Ugg’s Tasman mule and, for the first time, the Classic Ultra Mini.

The two footwear styles are updated this go around with an intricate multi-layered embroidery that features a large tiger and a mountain along with Palace branding motifs. See all of the photos from the latest collection below.

Nigel Sylvester’s Air Jordan 4 RM collaboration was one of 2024’s most talked-about sneakers and after helping Jordan Brand introduce the RM version of the model, the BMX pro will reportedly receive his own Air Jordan 4 Retro in the new year.

Set for a March release, the upcoming Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 Retro “Bike Air” sneaker will come in a “Firewood Orange/Sail/Cinnabar” colorway. Although in-hand images are not currently available, leakers @zsneakerheadz and Sneaker Files provided a speculative mock-up of what the collaboration could look like based on its color description. The shoe is expected to feature a mostly orange design with off-white and red detailing, although it’s possible the retail version could differ considerably.

Like Sylvester’s Air Jordan 4 RMs, this Air Jordan 4 Retro is expected to feature “Bike Air” branding on the heel in place of the 1989 sneaker’s original “Nike Air” text. The biker’s Air Jordan 4 RM shoes redesigned the retro basketball shoe through the lens of an action sports shoe equipped for BMX riding. Key changes on the RM version of the sneaker included a lower ankle cut and material updates for added durability.

Following the Air Jordan 4 RM, another retro model is expected to receive the updated treatment in 2025 in the form of the Air Jordan 7 RM.

Sylvester has previously collaborated on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High sneaker, which was released in 2018 and featured a heavily pre-distressed design as if it had been put through the rigors of bike riding. 

The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 Retro “Bike Air” has a SKU of HF4340-800 and is currently slated to be released on March 23. Retail pricing has not been announced, and it’s possible that the release date could change between now and then. This story will be updated with any developments including images of the collaboration.

LaMelo Ball’s playful Puma releases will continue this week with the launch of a new MB.04 in a special “Scooby-Doo” collaboration colorway.

The Scooby-Doo x Puma collection is highlighted by Ball’s fourth signature sneaker, the MB.04, and also includes the Suede XL silhouette and a selection of apparel. For the MB.04, the TPU-wrapped shoe has been given the look of the cartoon’s iconic Mystery Machine car.

Colored in a mix of “Aquatic/Lime Smash/Heat Fire,” the collab evokes the franchise’s 1970s aesthetic with bright accents and whimsical flower adornments. The heel features a graphic of the mystery-solving dog playing basketball, while the rest of the collab boasts the MB.04’s usual references to Ball including “1 of one,” “rare,” and “love” hidden throughout the design.

For those looking to take the Scooby-Doo x Puma collaboration off the court, a Suede XL sneaker is also offered in the collection. The Suede XL features a color scheme and details similar to the MB.04. 

On the apparel side, the Scooby-Doo x Puma collection includes T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, pants, jackets and sweaters emblazoned with the show’s graphics and motifs. 

Also on the horizon for the MB.04 is a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” collab expected to arrive in the coming months. The Charlotte Hornets star’s Puma line has previously referenced his love for cartoons with projects including “Rick & Morty” and “Dexter’s Laboratory” collaborations.

The full Scooby-Doo x Puma range will be released Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. ET from puma.com and can also be found at select retailers. The MB.04 sneakers retail for $130 in adult sizing and will also be available in big kids ($115), little kids ($90) and toddler ($75) sizes. The collection’s Suede XL is priced at $95 for adults and will also be released in big kids ($75) sizes.

Update: Nov. 23, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. ET:

Months after a New Balance 993 collaboration was quietly teased in a lookbook for its Levi’s collection, Montreal creative agency JJJJound has unveiled the new project, confirming that it will include two different colorways.

In addition to the style seen in the Levi’s lookbook, JJJJound will bring back what is arguably its most popular colorway: the gray look it has previously used on New Balance’s 990v3, 992 and 991 sneakers.

While similar, the two shoes feature key differences. The gray style uses a white/cream midsole and a reflective silver tongue, while the previously seen keeps its two-tone look consistent with a black midsole and black suede tongue.

Both of the JJJJound x New Balance 993 sneakers are part of the sportswear brand’s made in USA line, which includes footwear with a minimum of 70 percent of its manufacturing done domestically.

The official colorway names for the pairs are “Military Urban Gray/Angora” (SKU U993JJ) and “Military Urban Gray/Black” (SKU U993JD).

An exact release date and pricing have not yet been announced, but both pairs are expected to be launched in December from jjjjound.com. Readers can expect more details soon.

What We Originally Reported on Aug. 29, 2024

These days, rollouts for collaborative sneakers are as lavish as ever; multi-month bouts of anticipation, short film advertisements and quirky campaigns are the norm. But every now and then, a brand will sneakily sprinkle in a teaser for an upcoming product, and that’s exactly what it looks like JJJJound is up to here.

In a lookbook shoot for its second JJJJound x Levi’s collection, launching September 6, the Montreal-based creative studio subtly included a previously unseen footwear project. Based on the teaser, it looks like a JJJJound x New Balance 993 is in the works which mimics the duo’s previous work on 2022’s 990v3 release. 

The brown hues of that pair appear a bit more muted and olive-leaning on the 993, but otherwise the two collaborations follow the same blueprints. Both shoes don solid black midsoles, earth tone suede-and-mesh uppers, and contrasting black accents which break up the drab upper. 

It is this simplistic yet nuanced formula that fans have come to expect from JJJJound, which has delivered a number of coveted New Balance collaborations since the brand’s first project together, a gray 990v4, in 2018.

And speaking of that first JJJJound x New Balance 990v4 collaboration, a similar looking pair was also featured in the Levi’s lookbook. However, based on its weathered appearance, it’s likely this pair is an original from ’18 rather than an upcoming release.

JJJJound was founded by Justin R. Saunders and began in 2006 as a self-described “digital mood board.” A popular Tumblr blog throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, the brand evolved into the design studio it’s known as today.

Aside from New Balance, JJJJound has collaborated with a number of footwear brands including A Bathing Ape, Adidas, Asics, Blackstock & Weber, Crocs, Dr. Martens, Padmore & Barnes, Puma, Reebok, ROA and Vans.

As for the JJJJound x New Balance 993, it’s likely that the project will be announced soon and released during the fall 2024 season. Readers can check back here for updates including confirmed release and pricing details.
