The partnership between Todd Snyder and New Balance has brought many iconic and trendy silhouettes in recent seasons. In their newest collaboration, both brands have turned to the New York Flower District for the inspiration behind their holiday release. Using the 574 Legacy silhouette as their base, the two brands have used subtle details and crisp colorways to evoke the holiday spirit in one of New Balance’s most classic designs. While inspired by the holiday season, these new colorways and designs are year-round sneakers that will look chic in any season. Coupled with New Balance’s footwear technology, these collaborative sneakers are stylish and practical. This duo pack of shoes is not only the perfect holiday footwear, but they’re a prime example of how a great partnership can continue to release successful sneakers time after time.

For their latest collaboration, Todd Snyder and New Balance have unveiled their ‘Parchment’ and ‘Pine’ designs. Using the 574 Legacy as a base for both sneakers, the ‘Parchment’ design is inspired by the brown hues of the parchment paper that wraps around flower arrangements. On the other hand, the ‘Pine’ hue gets its inspiration from the classic holiday greenery around the city at this time of year. Both sneakers come with hairy suede and leather uppers complete with a furry “N” logo on the side. The midsoles are made with EVA foam and ENCAP cushioning, which provides extra comfort. Both of these sneakers are now available via Todd Snyder’s stores and web stores for $120. Although many collaborative sneakers are style-specific, the partnership between Todd Snyder and New Balance continues to deliver sneakers that can easily fit into any wardrobe.

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.
