Every month or so, we hear news about a new sneaker drop. And this year especially, we’ve seen the rise of sneaker collaborations. From celebs to luxury houses, producing a sneaker that’s both comfortable and stylish seems to be on everyone’s mind. Sifting through these drops, we rounded up some of the latest drops and collaborations that stuck with us and will probably add to cart sooner rather than later.
Miu Miu x New Balance | 530 SL Sneakers
The New Balance X Miu Miu collab wasn’t something we knew we needed but since 2023, pieces from this collab have been trending. So much so that the designs themselves have inspired others to create low-top, flat sneaker styles. Their recent sneaker collab gave us 530 SL sneakers in suede, leather, and mesh in their signature low-top style that we’ve grown so fond of.
Onitsuka Tiger | TIGER DECK
Over the years, the Japanese brand has exploded in popularity among sneakerheads, especially its Mexico 66 line. The TIGER DECK, which is a part of Onitsuka Tiger’s AW25 collection, is a fusion of a tennis shoe and a deck shoe. What we love about it is the lace detailing that slithers in and out of the shoe in the brand’s signature yellow.
Jacquemus X Nike | Moon Shoe
Another longtime collab where the collections and drops just feel natural at this point, the latest sneaker drop by Jacquemus X Nike is the Moon Shoe. Created for racing, the design is reimagined by Jacquemus in a more feminine style, resulting in a flat, low-top, ballet-style sneaker. Sleek and stylish, this is a style that easily blends with a casual daytime wardrobe, whether that’s jeans and a t-shirt, a top and a maxi skirt, or paired with an abaya.
Caroline Hu x Edison Chen x adidas | Taekwondo Sneakerinas
A three-way collab between adidas Originals, Edison Chen’s CLOT, and designer Caroline Hu. The latest take on a ballerina-style sneaker, this iteration is a lot more feminine than its industry counterparts, with its ballet-inspired straps, allowing the shoe to look more like the traditional pointe shoes rather than a classic ballet flat.
Converse | SHAI 001
Collabing with basketball star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, this is unlike the super low-top styles we’ve been seeing so far. This futuristic shoe features puffed detailing and a zipper right after the tongue of the shoe. Coming in four colourways, it complements most streetwear and masculine-styled outfits.
adidas x Sport & Rich | Adistar Control 5 Sneakers
Adidas x Sport Rich | Adistar Control 5 Sneakers | Dhs 549
Another long-time collab partners, this time they’ve moved from tennis to the running track. Built foe everyday movement, their latest Control 5 Sneaker is made to be a daily sneaker. With a light grey and teal colour combo, these sneakers blend seamlessly with business casual attire, we’re thinking button-ups with wide-legged pants or even a simple jeans with a blazer outfit.
