As someone who has been following sneaker culture for over two decades now, I must say this week’s releases are quite intriguing. The Bricks & Wood x New Balance 1906U “Echoes of a Butterfly” is a vibrant and creative take on the classic sneaker design, reminiscent of the butterfly effect we’ve all experienced in our lives – sometimes, small changes can lead to significant outcomes.
As we’ve reached mid-October, there’s no denying that autumn is officially here, with sports enthusiasm soaring and pumpkin spice drinks taking over everywhere. Reflecting this trend, the footwear world is also embracing the season, as popular collaborations from brands like ASICS, Nike, New Balance, Crocs, Salomon, and BAPE are making a comeback in this week’s top footwear releases. Let’s take a moment to recap the latest news on the internet since our last Best Footwear Drops edition before we guide you through the must-have drops for your collection.
The spooky season is here, and Nike is jumping into the Halloween spirit by preparing to release not just two sneakers featuring skull-shaped toe caps, but an Air Force 1 Low boasting Jason Mask perforations from Friday The 13th. Meanwhile, Devin Booker has been practicing in a fresh “Sunset” colorway of his Nike BOOK 1. Jordan Brand is gearing up for next year with an Off-White™ x Air Jordan 1 High OG release and has given us a sneak peek at the “Bruce Lee” Air Jordan 4 RM design, while rumors suggest that the Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red” could make another appearance in 2025.
New Balance made plenty of noise this past week as DTLR launched its 1906R “Starry Nights” project, Action Bronson again previewed his forthcoming FuelCell Rebel v4 “Foxtrot” and a closer look at the Up There x New Balance 860v2 hit the net. Elsewhere in the sneaker industry, Nikola Jokic’s first signature shoe with 361° has been announced as the JOKER 1 and will arrive by the end of the year. Another exciting announcement in the footwear space involved Westside Gunn revealing a new partnership with Saucony that is set to feature shoe collaborations between the two. As for adidas, a new collaboration involving not only Bad Bunny, but Lionel Messi as well, surfaced.
