As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to start planning for 2025. And for AMIRI, there’s no better time to start planning for next year’s looks. With their latest release, AMIRI looks to infuse the laidback California living with classic style in a chic sneaker. No matter the season, an athletic sneaker can be an ideal addition to your wardrobe. However, as part of their Pre-Spring 2025 collection, AMIRI delivers far from another boring athletic sneaker. Filled with interesting appliques and premium touches, this athletic sneaker is bound to become your go-to in 2025.

Introducing the Pacific Sneaker

Available in two subtly different versions, the Pacific Sneaker is an athletic sneaker designed in a classic silhouette. The first version sees a sneaker with a white leather base with star appliques in black or blue. The tonal leather outsole and appliques give the sneaker a clean and sleek look. The second version features gum outsoles and a suede upper in black, chocolate, and sand. As a special edition, the men’s suede and leather sneakers will be available in Varsity Red. On both versions, the AMIRI logo is visible on the tongue, giving it another detail to marvel at. This chic sneaker is now available via AMIRI’s web store and retails from $590 to $650. While the Pacific sneaker is part of AMIRI’s Pre-Spring campaign, it’s the perfect sneaker to don year-round. Crafted with enough color to give your look an extra touch, there’s nothing like an athletic sneaker to start your 2025 off right.

Kizik releases the hands-free Athens 2 sneaker

Look, Mom! No hands! Slip on the coolest hands-free sneakers

Kizik Athens 2 slip on sneaker

One of the most challenging things about living in a tiny shoebox apartment is the fact that I don't have a good space for a bench to put on my shoes — not unless I want a trip hazard or bruised toes. As someone who has lived in an RV on and off for 7 years, I'm not a stranger to small spaces or making things work. That said, I'm always on the lookout for brand-new products that can make the adventuring easier. So when I saw that hands-free footwear company Kizik just released an updated version of their best-selling Athens shoe, I had to take a look and see what was different.

This second version builds on what made the original Athens great, adding significant upgrades to the Athens 2 based on customer feedback and innovations. The Athens 2 still has the iconic patented Kizik "cage" technology that made these shoes easy as pie to slip into without needing to sit down, tie the laces, or do that weird chicken dance that we've all done trying to get the heel of the shoe on our feet.

How HAVEN made an ASICS sneaker dark and stealthy

ASICS, HAVEN release new sneaker

While it’s common to find a quality running shoe in ASICS’ lineup, it’s rare to see the brand offer a stealthy and technical option. In their latest collaboration with HAVEN, the athletic brand has turned a new leaf to create a more techy design that boasts a darker and edgy look. Taking on one of ASICS’ older running designs, the latest collaborative design is transformed into a modern and cutting-edge shoe full of high-performance features. Coupled with a darker hue, there’s no doubt this new design is a brand-new feel for ASICS, making it even more of a special collaboration. For those looking for a more contemporary performance sneaker, the HAVEN x ASICS partnership has produced the must-have shoe for the season.
A new look for the Gel-Nimbus 10.1

Using the 2008-era Gel-Nimbus 10.1, the newest collaboration between HAVEN and ASICS is about adding technical features that elevate the shoe’s performance. Now including layered mesh, carbon fiber details, and reflective accents, the new sneaker exudes an edgier design that also helps accommodate the natural bone structure of the foot. The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 comes equipped with a dual-layer EVA foam midsole, GEL technology inserts, and a TRUSSTIC system to add advanced cushion and support to the sneaker. Donning a black and grey combination, the sneaker is inspired by urban concrete shadows for a moodier touch. This stealthy design will be available for fans on February 14 via ASICS’ web store. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, faithful fans of the athletic company will adore the latest collaboration that fuses each brand’s strongest characteristic.

With any hiking footwear, it’s vital to have a balance between style and practicality. Unlike everyday casual sneakers, this footwear should withstand harsh elements and rugged terrain. Thankfully, brands like Albino & Preto have plenty of experience in this area and continue to expand their lavish and quality footwear. Along with Padmore & Barnes, the brands have taken across the Atlantic for the inspiration of their latest collaborative boot. While inspired by the trails, the boot isn’t just for handling intense hikes. With a classic lace-up boot style, the new design can easily trek urban streets for a more rugged casual look.
