There’s no doubt about the impact Adidas’ Superstar sneakers have had on footwear culture in recent years. Apart from being the perfect casual sneaker, the Superstar has become a versatile shoe choice that can easily fit in with any closet or event. Frequent collaborations and remixes on the shoe have also helped the sneaker evolve throughout the years and become a staple in most wardrobes. The latest Superstar remix sees the sneaker transformed into a shoe you wouldn’t expect – a dress shoe. With the help of Edison Chen and CLOT, the Superstar sneaker has gotten a dapper upgrade that fuses its unique look with sophisticated touches. The best choice for someone looking for a comfortable dress shoe, there’s no doubt this design will become a new favorite for many.

Although this isn’t the first iteration of the Superstar sneaker by CLOT and Edison Chen, it’s the first the design has come in a tan colorway. Previous redesigns saw the shoe in black-and-white combinations that appeared similar to the original sneaker. In its new colorway of Crystal Sand/Hazy Beige/Cloud White, the Superstar shoe seems like anything but the nostalgic chunky sneaker you know. The tan hue elevates the sneaker into a mixture of an Oxford sneaker with more edge that’ll certainly delight dress shoes and sneaker enthusiasts. As with previous designs, the shoe comes with leather uppers, a redesigned shell toe, a ripple sole, and an EVA midsole.

With such a unique and elegant design on the sneaker, the shoe will fly off the shelves. Despite its release on JUICE, there’s no official confirmation of worldwide distribution in-store or online. However, with the success of previous colorways, it’s only a matter of time before we see the collaboration arrive.

While we’ve grown accustomed to New Balance’s collaborations bringing forth various color schemes and combinations, their newest partnership is a sleeker style for the athletic company. For their third release together, JJJJound and New Balance use their construction and style techniques to create a shoe full of ‘balance.’ Inspired by the idea of balance, the concept of the sneaker is to have a durable and stable design while still looking chic and fashion-forward. Just in time to round out the Fall/Winter 2024 collection, this new release brings a moodier take on an established New Balance silhouette. Although there are plenty of collaborations from New Balance, this partnership with JJJJound is unlike the others. 
JJJJound x New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX

Crafted using all-black mesh and leather, this new design from JJJJound and New Balance is a darker and moodier side of the athletic brand than we are used to. While the entire shoe dons a black hue, there are hints of blue found around the heel where the 2002R branding is located. Tonal vamp overlays, rubber outsoles, and an N-ERGY midsole are some of the features that give the sneaker some of the classic New Balance look. Completed with toggle lacing, this sneaker is ready for just about anything. Inside, a waterproof lining helps protect against anything the winter season has prepared. Those keen to round out their winter lineup can purchase the 2002R GORE-TEX via JJJJound’s web store starting December 18 and New Balance on December 20. Made to withstand all of the winter elements, this JJJJound and New Balance release is another collaboration that seems to hit a perfect stride. Unlike recent sneakers full of lively and vibrant hues, this release is for those looking for a more versatile option with all the technical features you need.

While it seems HOKA’s athletic and lifestyle sneakers lineup can’t get any larger, the brand’s latest release proves that they are just getting started. Of the brand’s vast offerings, the Bondi collection is among the most recognizable and applauded. Made famous for their chunky soles and technical features, the Bondi lineup has plenty to choose from. In this release, HOKA is upgrading the classic silhouette. This new iteration involves adding significant volume to the already chunky design, making it a true statement moment for your closet. Although the design appears bigger, this Bondi shoe won’t lose any features you love. 
The bigger and better HOKA Bondi 9 

Looking to improve its performance, HOKA is looking to the Bondi 9 sneaker to elevate its offerings by ramping up its size. Adding two millimeters more height to the shoe, the new premium midsole adds bounce, cushion, and support to the design. Made with foamed EVA, smooth MetaRocker, rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame, and a molded EVA sockliner, the midsole is unlike anything the brand has released yet. Completing the design is a 3D molded collar, extended heel pull, and reflective upper details. Although the chunkier midsole increases its appearance, users won’t have to worry about the extra weight. Compared to its predecessor, this new HOKA Bondi 9 is almost an ounce lighter. While this shoe isn’t expected to hit the shelves until January 2025, it has already been announced that it will come in six colorways and retail for $170. For those unafraid of a statement midsole or shoe, the new HOKA Bondi 9 is great for your athletic or lifestyle needs.
