Fenty x Puma
In a highly anticipated reunion, Rihanna and Puma have finally come together once more after a lengthy five-year break. The Fenty x Puma Avanti VL Sneakers are a unisex soccer-inspired sneaker crafted from supple vintage leather with a fold-over tongue with a gold-foil Fenty and Puma logos, a gum outsole, and a leather footbed. The kicks were released on September 15th, and it is also expected that a new Avanti will hit shelves this fall, along with other merch from the label.
Dr. Martens x Marc Jacobs
In honor of the Jadon boot’s 10th anniversary, Dr. Martens and Marc Jacobs teamed up once again to create a style that takes cues from their 2020 collaboration, updating the traditional lace-up silhouette with charming details that pay homage to the brand’s storied past and New York City. Unveiled on the scene just last September 15, this boot is meticulously crafted from black leather, boasting a commanding presence with its high collar, co-branded tongue tags, and platformed rubber soles adorned with vibrant yellow stitching.
Clarks x Billionaire Boys Club
This collaboration, which was released on September 18, features three different iterations of the classic Clarks Wallabee Boot inspired by the BBC’s “Diamond & Dollar” pattern and available in a trio of autumnal hues that are said to “embody the quintessence of legacy and cultural impact.” Each pair is handcrafted from premium Italian suede and offers a tonal design all over the upper, a hidden BBC Mantra statement printed beneath the tongue, and a part-recycled natural rubber pebble crepe sole.
Craig Green x adidas
Adidas welcomes Craig Green back with two fresh versions of the Scuba Stan Smith silhouette: the SPLIT STAN and BOOST STAN. Available in three different colorways, the monochromatic SPLIT STAN is covered with extra-smooth leather and the usual co-branding touches. On the other hand, the BOOST STAN is essentially a version of the Stan Smith with adidas’ BOOST material integrated throughout, from the shoes’ collar to its sole.
Off-White™ x Nike
In honor of basketball legend Rasheed Wallace, Off-White™ and Nike teamed up once again to create a sleek, monochromatic take on the original Air Force 1 Mid. Designed to captivate the attention of style-savvy gentlemen who appreciate the likes of Wallace, Off-White™, and Nike, the highly anticipated Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Sheed” made its grand debut on the sneaker scene on September 8.
