While shoes from huge brands like the Yeezy Boost 350s and UNC Jordan 1s are long since sold out, many of the best shoes are still waiting to be purchased, depending on your size. If you missed out on a new pair of kicks for the holidays, this is your chance to lace up something fresh for the new year.

Beast Mode x Greats

As if Greats’ black and gold collaboration with Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch wasn’t appealing enough, these chukkas are built with an NFC/Bluetooth LE enabled chip with unique information about your pair in the corresponding app. It’s a great way to connect with other sneaker collectors, as well as verify what you have is the real deal.

Adidas Xeno

These didn’t sit around long the first time the impressive Xeno material hit Adidas sneakers, but the line has only grown since the beginning of December, and now includes basketball sneakers, clothing, and even colored patterns. The material is matted and shimmery to the naked eye, but a photo of the shoes shows off an explosion of color. You have to see it to believe it.

Woolrich Lane Boot

Not everyone is looking for colorful sneakers or Seahawks-related garb, however, and for the more understated among us there’s Woolrich. The Lane boots are seriously high quality, with a suede upper by prestigious UK tannery Charles F. Stead, and a sturdy vibram outsole that’s ready for anything from hiking to bar crawling. They’re also supremely comfortable, and will quickly become a favorite in any lineup.

Converse Chuck 2

There’s nothing more classic than a pair of Chucks, but what were cutting edge materials in 1917 are no longer considered as comfortable. In response, Converse released the Chuck Taylor All Star II. The redesigned pair sports the same look, but boasts a slew of under-the-hood improvements. From the canvas quality to the insole support, everything has been tailored for comfort, without touching the All Star’s classic style.

How Comme Des Garcons and New Balance made running shoes sleek and chic

New Balance, Comme des Garcons create a new sneaker

In recent seasons, New Balance has reached into its vault to rerelease archival designs with modern updates. One of the latest archives to get updated is the 860v2, which has already seen a few remixes in the past. However, this time around, New Balance is teaming up with COMME des GARÇONS to create two new colorways that lean into a sleek and stealthy design. With a much cleaner and smoother look than New Balance is accustomed to, the 860v2 appears like an entirely new sneaker. A great option for those looking for a sophisticated lifestyle or running shoe, this collaboration mixes luxury with the practicality of running sneakers.
COMME des GARÇONS x New Balance 860v2

In this collaborative sneaker, CDG and New Balance have created a slimmed-down silhouette and used smoother materials for a sleek look. Available in two monochromatic colorways, the 860v2 contains subtle tonal variations and mesh overlays for a cohesive aesthetic. Both color options have a white midsole with grey and black outsoles. In the two colorways, silver accents detail the heels, giving them some extra depth and edge. Above the pull tab, wearers will find the iconic red NB logo. Further branding comes inside the soles and tongue with COMME des GARÇONS and New Balance logos.
