While less mainstream than its Speedcat counterpart, the H-Street sneaker is a classic shoe in Puma’s lineup. Having received less attention in recent seasons, this classic silhouette is far from forgotten. Along with Seoul-based brand OPEN YY, Puma is getting ready to take this iconic model to a whole new level. Mixing Puma’s athletic DNA and OPEN YY’s flair for cutting-edge streetwear, this collaboration may appear subtle but carries quite the punch. Appearing in three new colorways, the latest collaboration between these two brands utilizes sharp lines and minimalist details for a versatile shoe you can wear almost anywhere. Apart from the new footwear, the brands are collaborating on a series of apparel pieces that’ll arrive later this month.

No summer season would be complete without a pair of trusted sandals or flip-flops. When it comes to sandals and flip-flops, Havaianas is one of the standards to watch. The Brazilian brand has become a household name due to its refreshment of the flip-flop and turning it from another summer footwear to a fashionable accessory. With a campaign that stars former Dutch soccer player Edgar Davids, the new partnership between Amsterdam-based Patta and Havaianas is nothing short of a summer celebration. While the flip-flops don’t see any major change in silhouette or design, it does invoke details from both brands that embody the spirit of the partnership.

Taking inspiration from the summer sky, New Balance’s newest sneaker is all about tonal blues. As part of New Balance’s MADE in UK line, the latest release from the athletic brand takes on the soft shade of blue for a new look that can almost pass for a denim material. While many brands have already managed to use denim to create unique footwear designs, this option from New Balance is a bit more versatile and stylish than the rest. Set to hit later this month, this New Balance sneaker is much closer to their traditional color palettes, rather than their latest series of neon and vibrant hues. While made for the peak summer season, the newest baby blue shoe is a year-round nab.
