Like most fashion houses as of late, Dior is taking another look at their footwear lineup. While the house has always delivered premium designs that uphold the history and heritage of the name, its recent releases allude to a renovation of its look. In their newest release, Dior is taking on another chunky sneaker that speaks to the quality and craftsmanship that has made the house a standard in designer goods. While the sneaker is far from the sleek and opulent silhouette you would expect from Dior, it contains all of the premium details and construction that come with the name. With a nod to the recent chunky ‘dad’ shoe trend, the most recent Dior sneaker is a statement sneaker that turns a trail sneaker into the latest trendy designer shoe.

In their newest release, B35 NXXT, Dior takes on the classic trail shoe and gives it a designer twist. This sneaker is a unique design with a woven upper adorned with Dior’s Cannage motif and an openwork outsole. Available in various earthy and neutral colorways, like beige and black, the sneaker has an architecturally inspired design that provides a genuine statement moment. Adding weight to the look is the sneaker’s two-layer technical mesh construction, which also helps to add some spring to your step. While this sneaker isn’t Dior’s first chunky design, the over-the-top volume and construction are a factor you can’t miss. Available via the Dior website for $1,300, this sneaker is another example of fashion houses taking on the trails with style.

PUMA releases new sneaker

With footwear brands reaching into the archives to deliver unique and statement designs, PUMA isn’t holding back. While PUMA’s Mostro OG isn’t a new or reimagined sneaker, it’s undoubtedly one of the brand’s most rebellious acts. Drawing inspiration from sprint spikes and surfing shoes, the Mostro OG’s initial release was an out-of-the-box move from the brand that sent shockwaves through the industry. First developed in 1999, this sleek and slim shoe perfectly contrasts the chunkier sneaker trend that managed to take hold. While PUMA continues to reinvent this design, the brand has released three new exciting colorways that draw some similarities to the current Speedcat sneakers that are ruling the trends.

With three bold new colorways on the horizon for the sneaker, the Mostro OG is seeing yet another revitalization. Designed with a breathable mesh upper and silver Formstrips, the sneaker dons a futuristic and sporty look. The design’s signature hook-and-loop fastener straps ensure user protection and stability, whether running the track or taking a stroll around the city. Also featuring a textile sockliner and rubber outsole, the sneaker is designed to remain comfortable and provide plenty of grip. In this new release, PUMA unveils the Mostro OG in vibrant red, blue, and green colorways, similar to many of the iconic sneakers we’ve come to love from the brand. Set to release on March 1 and retail for $120, fans of this rebellious shoe can purchase a pair via the PUMA web store. Although the design isn’t new, the innovative spirit of the sneaker remains, even after all these years.

Why you should swap hiking boots for trail runners on your next adventure

Say goodbye to your hiking boots. Here's a better option

Man running on a trail with mountains in the background

For decades, hiking boots have been the go-to shoe for every kind of trail, but modern hikers are beginning to change that. If you've ever worn heavy leather hiking boots on a trip before, you're probably familiar with the blisters, sweaty feet, and sore legs that often come with the journey. While getting out in nature was always the best part of my week, I swapped my heavy hiking boots for some lightweight trail runners last year, and it was the best decision I ever made. Here's why.
Why you should ditch your hiking boots for trail runners

Trail running shoes are a middle ground between sneakers and hiking boots. They're sturdy, but still lightweight enough to reduce strain on your legs as you hike. Most hiking boots have stiff soles, but trail runners will allow you to navigate uneven terrain easily due to the flexible soles. These are great for long-distance hikes, especially where speed and efficiency matter. I also love the fact that trail runners have quick-drying and water-resistant mesh, which allows sweat to evaporate easily for a more comfortable journey (and less stinky shoes!)
