New Balance Tokyo Design Studio R_C4 Sneaker

Styled for the street yet rugged enough for the trail, the R_C4 Sneaker offers an ideal blend of utility and comfort. It's the third model from New Balance's Japan-based Tokyo Design Studio and is built primarily using outdoor technology. That includes the durable Cordura Tracefiber upper, the combo Encap Reveal and Abzorb midsole that balances cushioning with support, and the lugged Vibram outsole that provides traction even on the slipperiest of surfaces. Finished with reflective rope laces and a webbing "N" logo, they're near-perfect for winter wear.

Blundstone Dress Ankle Boot 1900

Blundstone is moving to the city with the 1900 Dress Ankle Boot. Made for urban exploration, the boot features a premium Chestnut brown leather upper formed into a sleek profile with a more chiseled toe. While it may look refined, the boot still maintains the brand's signature comfort and durability with a cushioned midsole, slip-resistant outsole, and leather footbeds equipped with XRD Technology.

Salomon Recyclable Running Shoe Concept

Part of the company's commitment to sustainability, Salomon's recyclable concept running shoe is surely a step in the right direction. Unlike most shoes, which are made from several materials, these are made entirely from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), allowing them to be ground down at the end of their useful life and combined with fresh TPU to create an alpine ski boot shell. While it's just a concept, the company's footwear team is working to incorporate elements of the concept in a consumer-facing model that will be available by 2021.

Holden Puffy Shoe

Winter weather robs many of the motivation to get overly dressed for quick runs out the door. Like a trusted puffy jacket, this Holden slipper shoe is a great choice for short dog walks or coffee runs. Its water-repellent exterior handles inclement weather just fine, while the PrimaLoft eco-recycled insulation keeps feet warm. A premium footbed offers cushioning with every step, and a slip-resistant outsole provides traction on slippery surfaces. Instead of cumbersome tie laces, the Puffy Slipper shoe uses a drawstring system so you can tighten up quickly and effortlessly.

Small / US Shoe Size 7-8

Nike React Infinity Run Sneaker

Nothing slows a runner down like injury. The Nike React Infinity Run is designed specifically to reduce that risk. It blends the best qualities of the company's Vaporfly and React technologies, resulting in a shoe that's both stable and bouncy. A rocker-like bottom encourages a more fluid transition through each stride and a slight forward lean, while a widened midsole provides a confident base and gently guides the foot in a straight line. Ideal for middle-milage, moderate runs — think training, not racing — the shoe produced a 52% lower injury rate compared to the motion control Nike Structure 22 during testing. Available to Nike members January 3 and everywhere January 16.

New Balance 997 Sport Sneaker

Continuing the trend of updating their classics in to modern street wear styles, New Balance's 997 Sport in black and pink is one of their best releases this year. Not shying away from their usage of Cordura fabric on uppers, the 997 Sport blends the durable fabric with suede, mesh, and nubuck panels all in black offset by a pink sockiner and heel inserts. It all sits atop a sturdy ENCAP Reveal midsole and Absorb heel with New Balance's cheeky "Motion Control Device" tag embedded in to the footbed, providing a very stable wear.

Fit: Runs A Tiny Bit Small / Sizing Down Only Recommended If In Serious Doubt.

Red Wing Heritage Classic Moc Boot

Much the same as the first moc-toe boots made by the company in the 1950s, the Red Wing Heritage Classic Moc Boot is a quality shoe with a timeless design. Its upper is crafted from either premium Oro Legacy or Black Harness leather, and joined to a Traction Tred rubber outsole with a Goodyear leather welt. A cork midsole provides comfort while triple stitching and Taslan laces offer added durability. The nature of the USA-made construction allows Red Wing (or other shoe experts) to resole the boots endlessly as needed. The result is a handsome pair of boots that will still be wearable long after other purchases have gone out of style.

We suggest ordering a half-size down from your normal size. Red Wing boots should fit snug upon arrival, and break in slowly as you wear them, creating a leather-glove-effect around your foot.

Vans Static CC MTE Sneaker

"Off The Wall" since 1966, Vans continues to innovate in the footwear industry. The Static CC MTE is the latest example, built with a newly designed ComfyCush outsole with a reverse lug for more functional wear. Each pair also includes a puffed collar designed for maximum comfort, leather and textile uppers with warm linings, D-ring metal eyelets for a secure fit, as well as the iconic Vans Sidestripe. Available in three distinct colorways.

Nike Air Max 720 Horizon Sneaker

Inspired by technical winter jackets, Nike's Air Max 720 Horizon is designed to handle the elements. It has a Gore-Tex upper that keeps the interior warm and dry, the company's tallest Air unit for comfort, and an aggressive tread pattern to provide traction in adverse conditions. Available November 1st in three colorways inspired by the morning-to-night light transition across the summit of Oregon's Mount Hood.

New Balance 997H Sneaker

As an update to the 1990's cult favorite New Balance 997, the new 997H blends a modern lifestyle sneaker silhouette with elements of a trail sneaker. The uppers are made primarily from rugged Cordura fabric, giving them longevity and making them more resistant to scuff, tears, and even water than most sneakers. Two-tone laces and a back pull loop add more outdoor flair to this otherwise street-ready sneaker. To finish things off, a soft foam midsole sits atop the rubber outsole. The whole package wraps up in to a sneaker that is ideal for wear when the city streets are a bit damp and dirty or for a walk out on the trail but you still want the comfort and look of a classic New Balance sneaker.

No.One Delta Sneaker

Inspired by the athletic shoes of the '80s that spawned the fashion sneaker industry, the No.One Delta is a modern take on a classic silhouette. Each one is crafted from full-grain Italian pebbled leather sourced from French tannery Remy Carriat that's mineral tanned and hand-polished. Hand-lasted asymmetrical panels make up the upper and are complemented with orange contrast stitching, UV printed type accents, and French Plonge lambskin lining. They sit on a white rubber sole and are available in white or black.

New Balance Caravan Moc Shoe

Equally well-suited to lazy-day and post-adventure wear, the New Balance Caravan Moc is designed specifically for recovery. Its synthetic upper is insulated and given a water-resistant treatment that makes it more suited to outdoor wear, while a fleece liner helps keep feet warm. It's finished with a grippy rubber outsole to provide traction and has a pronounced heel tab so it's easy to slip on and off.

424 High Top Dipped Sneakers

Crafted in Italy, these high tops were hand-dipped in tonal rubber. The black sneakers are the work of 424, the imprint of L.A. urban streetwear designer Guillermo Andrade. Each pair has a round toe, front lacing, and a large velcro strap around the collar. The rubber dipping wraps around the toe box and all the ways to the heel and leaves loose strands at the base — making each pair unique. The shoes are finished with matching laces and debossed branding.

Converse x Ambush Sneakers

After a deep dive into the vast Converse archives, Yoon Anh of AMBUSH surfaced with a couple of gems. The result is two pairs of sport styles reconceived for modern times, both with exaggerated styling and monochrome tones. A rubber military boot produced by Converse in the 1950s was the inspiration for the Pro Leather, which features a rubberized black upper, a tonal 3D Converse Star Chevron logo, a gusseted tongue, and cyber yellow instructional Ambush branding on the elevated heel. The Chuck 70 draws from the iconic basketball silhouette, adding a heightened platform midsole, a white rubberized upper with matte detailing, and a gusseted tongue for stability and insulation. Both are available starting this month.

MSCHF x INRI Air Max 97 Jesus Shoes

Satire. Religious. Blasphemous. There are a lot of ways to describe these customized Air Max 97s, but boring isn't one of them. From Brooklyn-based studio MSCHF, they have "INRI" — Iesus Nazaraeus Rex Iudaeorum, or "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews" — on the heel tab, and 60cc of colored, blessed Holy Water from the River Jordan in the soles. The 100% red wool insoles are scented with Frankincense, a steel crucifix hangs from the laces, and the top box carries an "MT. 14:25" stamp, a reference to the Book of Matthew verse in which Jesus walks on water. Sold out at MSCHF, they're now available on StockX.

Blundstone Dress Chelsea Boot 1306

Making durable, comfortable boots is Blundstone's forte. Using that same rugged functionality, they created the 1306 Dress Series Boots. The classic stout exterior has been chiseled down to feature a sleek profile and square toe offering a more refined appearance. Their sharp silhouette is wrapped in premium rustic brown leather and finished with a cushioned midsole and slip-resistant outsole that can navigate any terrain in any condition, and look good doing it.

New Balance 247 Sneaker

Inspired by the v1, the updated 247 from New Balance offers comfort and support along with sporty style. Each pair features the innovative REVlite midsole for added comfort, premium responsiveness and durability, and 30% less weight. A textured sole provides both flex and traction, and a leather strip in the breathable upper allows for greater lockdown and stability. Available here in a new black colorway with Munsell white accents, it's a versatile shoe that's ideal for every day, around-the-town wear.

Fit: Runs a Little Large / Size Down If In Doubt

Nike Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail GTX Sneaker

A sneaker fit for trail running isn't as common as you might expect. This new addition to the iconic Pegasus line does just that, made with a waterproof GORE-TEX upper that is resilient and ready for the great outdoors.

Snow Peak x New Balance Extreme Spec R_C4 Mid Boot

A collaboration between the Japanese outdoor brand and New Balance's Tokyo Design Studio, the Snow Peak x New Balance Extreme Spec R_C4 Mid is a boot/sneaker hybrid that's ready for winter, both on the street and in the field. It's built with a Cordura ripstop upper backed with waterproof Gore-Tex lining, a chunky Vibram outsole for traction, and a magnetic Fidlock buckle.

The R_C4 Mid is part of a larger collection that includes a down jacket, matching down pants, and a transforming vest bag. The boot, as well as the rest of the collection, will be available worldwide on October 5th.

Blundstone Classic 585 Boot

Makers of comfortable, well-built boots for more than a century, Blundsone's 585 might be their best creation to date. Each pair is made using premium rustic brown leather on the exterior, with a leather lined interior, and will only get more comfortable over time as they form to your feet. They have a cushioned midsole, a removable comfort footbed with XRD technology in the heel strike zone for shock absorption, and a durable slip-resistant outsole, perfect for winter weather. They slide-on easily thanks to the pull tabs, are lightweight and comfortable and are built to last for the long haul.

Maison Margiela Puffer Sneakers

As colder temps approach, even your sneakers might be in need of a warmer layer. Paris-based luxury fashion house Maison Margiela created this shoe with a navy puffer shell that brings to mind a warm coat you'd don during the winter. Each pair is made in Italy and includes a jagged sole for added grip, sock lining for comfort and warmth, and finished with suede trim and a toggle-drawstring closure.

Nike x Sacai LD Waffle Sneaker

Many collaborative efforts meld two ideas or designs into one. The partnership between Nike and Japanese fashion brand Sacai takes that idea a bit more literally, blending two pairs of iconic Nike shoes into this LD Waffle sneaker. The limited shoe combines the Nike LDV and the legendary Waffle Racer, and the result is a sneaker with two pairs of laces, two Swooshes, and two tongues. Each pair has a co-branded heel tab and is now available in three new colorways: purple/green, black/white, and white/grey.

Danner Light 40th Boot

To celebrate Danner's first boot to use Gore-Tex membrane, Danner is releasing this special shoe. Forty years ago the Portland, Oregon-based brand introduced the waterproof, breathable fabric membrane to its hikers, and it's been a staple ever since. The 40th boot pays tribute to the originals, made with full-grain leather and a 100D nylon upper. Each pair is fitted with a Vibram Kletterlift outsole for maximum traction and comfort, along with a fiberglass shank for added support. Built for the long haul, the limited edition boot also features Danner's signature stitch-down construction for easy resoling after its served faithfully for years.

Clarks Originals x Carhartt WIP Wallabee Boot

Two apparel giants are teaming up to update a legendary shoe. Clarks Originals and Carhartt WIP partnered to take on the Wallabee Boot silhouette in two new colorways. The brown boot is inspired by the brand's Michigan Shore Coat, and the olive design with camo trim draws from the military history that has been a Carhartt staple for decades. Both pairs feature Clarks Originals signature crepe sole, moccasin construction, and a suede upper from Charles F. Stead tannery.

Air Jordan XXXIV Basketball Shoe

Built around the new Jordan Eclipse Plate, the Air Jordan XXXIV is one of the brand's lightest shoes ever. The plate is formed by two Pebax pieces and a Zoom Air unit, providing added bounce and stability while removing unnecessary foam. Removing non-essential material was a focus for the shoe, in fact, helping to keep weight to a minimum. They're finished with a herringbone traction pattern on the sole, developed using athlete foot scans and designed to facilitate faster cuts and first steps while also allowing athletes to stop more quickly on defense.

Nike Air Max 720 ISPA Sneakers

Inspired by the Zoom Turf that dates back to 1996, the newest shoe to join the technically-influenced ISPA line is about to be released. The Air Max 720 ISPA features Nike's biggest heel Air pocket to date, with text that reads "Contains High-Pressure Nitrogen." Each pair also has a black rubber outsole with rubber pods for extra grip, reflective details, and mesh openings for breathability. Available in "Black/Reflect Silver" and "Summit White/Black/White," they're set to release this weekend.

Inspired by WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne and her sister, who lives with disabilities, the UNVRS shoe is the first from Nike to be built with their FlyEase system from the ground up.

It also features a magnetized heel that folds down and connects to the midsole and an articulated strap that triggers Flywire cables for a customized, secure fit.
