With these Adidas x Hender Scheme Sneakers, the Japanese firm gets to try its hand at some officially-licensed designs. The highly-limited lineup includes a refreshing take on the all-too-often boisterous NMD_R1, as well as tasteful re-dos of the classic Superstar and Micropacer silhouettes. Arriving next month at select retailers only.
Building on the principles of the original Trigenic — namely a three-part outsole and asymmetric last — Clarks Trigenic Evo Sneakers offer improved comfort in a sleeker silhouette. The new Vibram footbed makes each step easier with dual-density PU designed to provide added cushioning where you need it most. Elastic helps hold the leather upper together while mimicking the placement of your muscle tendons for a natural flex. Available in white, black, cola brown, and gray.

Developed in collaboration with spacesuit supplier David Clark Company, the Reebok Floatride Space Boot SB-01 will be on the feet of astronauts as they climb aboard Boeing's new CST-100 Starliner spacecraft. A mashup of a runner, sandal, wrestling boot, and aviator boot, these calf-high shoes rely on the same lightweight midsole technology as the company's Floatride Run sneaker for unprecedented mobility. It uses a fire-resistant Nomex shell combined with a unique mesh that locks when the suit inflates, ensuring it always fits comfortably. It's undergoing testing now and will be put into service early next year.

Made in Italy from polished leather with wingtip detailing, they provide an extra layer of comfy support that you'd be hard pressed to match amongst other Brogues or formal footwear and are sure to be an easy selection for the style-conscious man in need of a little extra shock absorption and support.
Sticking a flask down in your boot is a time-honored tradition. Oliver Sweeney x Talisker Boots do it one better, by integrating a pocket on the ankle for the included 2 oz. flask.

They arrive with a classic bottle of Talisker 10-year scotch in the box.

Taking a break from Boost and Primeknit technology, Kanye has again teamed up with Adidas to release the retro-leaning Yeezy Powerphase. Looking a bit like a Reebok aerobic sneaker from back in the day, the Powerphase is an all-white affair with a quarter panel sporting the Calabasas name, referencing the California neighborhood where 'Ye resides.
A simple silhouette is upgraded with luxury materials in these No One Stingray Sneakers. The upper is crafted from vegetable tanned Italian leather embossed with a stingray pattern, complemented by an embossed Vachetta tongue and heel. French Plongé Lambskin lining adds to the comfort provided by the classic German outsole, making this an upscale alternative to your average pair of Chucks or Stan Smiths. Available in black or white and limited to just seven of each colorway.
Inspired by the midnight sun of Norway's blue city, the Mahabis Sortland Navy Luxe Slipper stands out with a sculpted navy nubuck leather upper. Part of the Luxe collection, it features the same soft sheepswool lining and matching detachable sole as its beige and black counterparts, as well as the collapsible heel and cushioned insole you'll find on every Mahabis slipper. In other words, it's the ultimate downtime footwear, keeping your feet comfortable both inside and out.

Inspired in part by paper bags and parachutes, the Nikelab ACG.07.KMTR rethinks how you put on your shoes. In place of traditional laces, it uses a draw cord to pull the stretchy water-resistant upper shell around your foot, and a forefoot strap with a magnetic buckle to provide added stabilization. Its rubber outsole has lugs for excellent traction on wet urban streets, and the foam insole gives all-day cushioning without weighing you down.
Named after the first syllable in "human," Adidas' Hu range celebrates the power of collaboration and creativity. The Adidas x Pharrell Williams Tennis Hu is the latest entry in the series. An all-new silhouette, it's Pharrell's first signature model, combining a white Primeknit upper with a lightweight EVA midsole. Like on a runner, the lacing system is built into the shoe's body, and the kicks are finished with a suede tongue tab featuring the Adidas Originals insignia. Available in white/green or white/yellow.
Inspired by the colors of Arctic summer, the latest Adidas Originals x Wings+Horns Collection brings a minimal aesthetic to its tops, bottoms, sneakers, and outerwear.

A collaboration between two of Germany's best-known brands, the Adidas x Porsche Design Bounce S4 Lux mix engineering with fashion. Instantly noticeable is the shoe's decoupled heel, which is attached to the rest of the shoe via a carbon plate inspired by Porsche's cars. The Bounce suspension system offers added comfort, and the 3D upper lends both support and fit without unnecessary pressure. Available in dark blue or red.
Borrowing from their 3D printed running shoe, the Under Armour Architech Futurist expands their tech-based line with a high-top variant. It's supported by a 3D printed midsole made from a lattice network, providing optimum stability and cushion. Paired with a compression lace system, a Speedform upper with a center zipper molds to the shape of your foot for a custom fit that adapts to each individual wearer. After the release of last year's dreaded Seinfeld shoes, the futuristic design and sleek silhouette is definitely a step in the right direction.
They're built for fighters, but the YORK Athletics Henry Trainer is an ideal workout shoe for plenty of athletes beyond the boxing and MMA communities.

Available in mid and low silhouettes.

A four percent gain in efficiency might not mean much on a jog around the neighborhood, but when you're running a marathon, it means a lot. The Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% promises that exact improvement over their previous fastest marathon shoe. Born from the company's Breaking2 project — an effort to break the two-hour marathon barrier — they have a full-length carbon fiber plate that minimizes energy loss, a ZoomX midsole for cushioning and bounce, and a Flymesh upper to provide support without constraint. The result is the fastest shoe Nike's ever made for distance runners, and, perhaps, the first to cross the finish line in under 120 minutes.
The company's named after the Greek goddess of victory. The Nike Goddess Flyknit Racer promises to get you across the finish line in style. Like other Racers, it has a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for cushioning, a full-length Phylon midsole for added comfort, and a lightweight Flyknit upper for a lock-down fit. But unlike other styles, this one comes in an all-white colorway — with a barely visible Swoosh — that looks as good with jeans as it does on the track.
They're not a remake of a classic silhouette. They just look like it. Drawing on '70s running shoe design, the Adidas Iniki Runner offers old-school simplicity with all-day comfort. The upper, a mix of two-way stretch mesh and suede, hides an OrthoLite sock liner, while the shiny tongue and serrated 3-stripes add visual interest. An exposed Boost midsole provides much-appreciated cushioning and bounce, while the gum rubber outsole ties the design together as a single, fashionable whole.
Chuck Taylors are acceptable footwear for a variety of occasions. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Modern Lux only expands their versatility. A monochromatic treatment gives the classic silhouette an added touch of restraint, with a supple leather upper, embossed patch, and full-length, color-matching Phylon outsole for comfort. Available in white or black.
As flying cars and Hoverboards have shown, it's not easy to bring the technologies found in Back to the Future Part II to life. This Nike Hyperadapt Teardown takes a look at how the auto-lacing system from the film was recreated. Hidden inside the shoe are sensors to let it know when you've it put on and buttons to let you adjust the fit. Heavy duty motors attached to Flywire pull the laces tight, arrays of LEDs provide lighting effects, wireless charging eliminates the need for battery changes, and an ARM Cortex M4 processor runs the show. It's like having a motor-laden smartphone hidden inside each shoe.
Cole Haan's Zerogrand line already had a sneaker-like outsole that flexes with your natural foot movement. The Cole Haan Zerogrand Stitchlite Wingtip Oxford takes the casual comparisons a step farther, replacing the original's leather with a stretch knit upper for an even lighter build and increased breathability. Dynamic stitching enhances fit, comfort, and airflow while recreating the classic wingtip pattern, and Grand.ØS energy foam delivers all-day cushioning. Available in five colorways.
