Mephisto’s Rainbow silhouette is a chic and timeless sneaker design that will fit any style or closet. While the Rainbow collection already has a substantial range, their latest collaboration with Madhappy adds two new variations that are must-haves for everyone. A minimalist take on the shoe, the Mephisto and Madhappy Rainbow design is sleek enough for an elevated footwear choice, yet still has the casual chicness of an everyday sneaker. Madhappy, known for their playful and contemporary style brings their brand identity into the mix, as they’ve previously down with other collaborations. For those looking for the perfect everyday sneaker, especially in an easy-to-style neutral, the Mephisto x Madhappy Rainbow sneaker is one to watch.

Available in two chic colorways, white and brown, the new releases bring all of the comfort technology of Mephisto’s Rainbow sneakers. Equipped with Mephisto’s SOFT-AIR technology, this sneaker design is crafted to minimize impact on each step. On the outside, these sneakers come with custom co-branding, mixed suede, flat heels, and speed lacing.

Although Mephisto’s Rainbow silhouette comes in various colorways and styles, the Madhappy collaboration sneaker brings a contemporary take on the brand’s heritage sneaker. Unlike other collaborations that can get bold and bright patterns and colors, this sneaker is all about a functional piece that works with your closet. Available via Mephisto, the Rainbow sneaker is priced at $345. As a bonus, one percent of the proceeds of each sale goes to The Madhappy Foundation which works to raise awareness and fund research for the mental health movement.

You can finally get these marathon sneakers thanks to a Wales Bonner, Adidas collaboration

You'll want to snap these up

If there’s one collaboration that’s delivered time after time, it’s the partnership between Grace Wales Bonner and Adidas. The brains behind the revival of the Samba sneakers, Wales Bonner is once again bringing an iconic Adidas design into the mainstream. This time around, the British designer is taking on the Adios Neftenga, one of Adidas’ most iconic shoes that was never released to the public. First seen in 2008, the Adios Neftenga was introduced to audiences when worn by Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie during the Berlin Marathon of that year. When Gebrselassie took first place, the Adios Neftenga officially became one of the fastest running shoes in the world. Unfortunately for enthusiasts, the shoe was never released to the public.
Adidas’ Adios Neftenga

With Wales Bonner’s help, Adidas is releasing the Adios Neftenga for the first time to audiences in a reboot that’s almost exact to the original. In this iteration, the Adios Neftenga comes equipped with the brand’s famed Adiprene foam midsole, an exceptional feature that helps against bounce and adds comfort. Added features include suede piping along the front and Wales Bonner’s labeling on the tongue. Rounding out this release, the Adios Neftenga comes in the iconic yellow and black colorway that Gabrselassie first wore. A faithful redesign, this new sneaker is a great chance for those who wished for a release in 2008.

When New Balance announced its first loafer design, it was an unexpected step for the sneaker company. Although the design kept the New Balance sneaker vibe, the loafer touch was subtle yet distinct. Now, with dressy sneakers trending, the sneaker brand is diving head-first into the loafer design, and it’s already turning heads. The New Balance 1906L takes the 1906 model and gives it a complete loafer makeover. While many will focus on its unique look and tech-inspired color, the 1906L also has some of the best characteristics in terms of comfort. A trendy shoe that’ll likely become an instant classic, the 1906L is a must-have for any wardrobe.

If there’s a sneaker company that knows how to make a comfortable shoe, it’s New Balance. Known for their walking-friendly footwear, New Balance’s 1906L takes everything you love from your 1906 sneaker and turns it into an innovative loafer. Not losing the traditional chunkiness of a New Balance shoe, the 1906L comes with a cushioned 860v2 sole unit and shock-absorbent pads in the heel and outsole. Adorned in 'Magnetic,' the silvery metallic hue, the 1906L is a perfect mix between trend and practicality.

Red Wing brought back its iconic 2000s boot and it’s still a must-have

Finding the right fall and winter boot style that serves luxury and elegance is challenging. Most boots tend to have a rugged aspect that can make them bulky and casual. Although these boots do offer protection, they’re not the best when you need to dress up. For that reason, Red Wing Shoes have become a staple boot brand for their ability to turn casual, everyday boots into dressier options that deliver that same level of comfort. In their latest release, Red Wing is taking it back to the 2000s and giving users the best of both.
Red Wing Heritage’s ‘Beckman’ boot

In an ode to its founder, Red Wing Shoe Co. has rereleased one of its most iconic boot designs in its Heritage collection, the Beckman. Named after founder Charles Beckman, the Beckman boot first appeared in the 2000s, when it quickly became a sought-after style thanks to its elegant, yet practical structure and design. The company has used the same team behind the first release to give this iconic boot a modern touch. Using full-grain Excalibur leather and an added heel pad, this boot has both comfort and luxury. With its smooth round toe, this boot can easily be used day to night, making it one of the most versatile pieces in your fall and winter wardrobe.
