Boots season isn’t exactly here yet, but what we can do to make our style feel a little cosier is switch up the slides for a sneaker. And with the range of sneaker collaborations out and announced, it makes discovering a new pair of fashionable kicks even easier. If you’re considering adding to your footwear closet, these are the drops to look out for.
Simone Rocha x adidas Originals
Seen at Simone Rocha’s AW26 runway back in February, the Irish designer will be bringing her romantic aesthetic to the sportswear collaboration. Releasing on September 10, ribbon-esque motifs and pearl embellishments are all over this collection, and that includes the shoes. Featuring three silhouettes—the SR Taekwondo Ballerina, the SR Climacool, and the SR Japan Fuzzy Slip On—with a bedazzled finesse, they each add to fall dressing by elevating the casual staple.
On x Loewe
Collaborating with the Swiss athletic shoe brand, Loewe takes On’s engineering and blends it with its house codes to create two high-performing sneakers, the Cloudtilt Hi and the Cloudsolo, designed to do it all. Both sneakers feature On’s streamlined shape and patented cushion padding alongside Loewe’s luxe materials and anagram branding, taking both shoes from a run club to a lunch date with ease.
JIL SANDER x Puma
Reprising their partnership three decades later, Puma and JIL SANDER join forces once again, dropping the K-Street sneaker. A casual form through and through, you can take your pick between perforated suede or a nylon and suede overlay. Either way, it ushers in suede, a go-to material for autumnal weather. And when paired with a classic pair of jeans and abaya, these kicks make a casual style feel luxe.
adidas Originals x Jennie
From ambassador to collaborator, singer Jennie begins her first adidas Originals collaboration by bringing in her take on ballet-inspired gear. So naturally, the shoes are ballet sneakers, inspired by pointe shoes. In neutral shades, square toes, and shoelaces fastened into a cheeky ribbon, the sneakers are an athletic take on the art form. And since ballet flats and sneakers aren’t going anywhere, this collab offers an easy entryway for those unfamiliar.
Onitsuka Tiger x Versace
You might have already come across this collaboration as it was first seen on Versace’s SS26 runway. Reimagining Onitsuka Tiger’s classic Tai-Chi Sakura sneakers into a more streamlined shape, the low-top sneakerina offers plenty of real estate for a flashy sock moment, while keeping the feet just warm enough for a Middle Eastern climate.
Jack Harlow x New Balance
For those expecting their sneaker to pull a double-duty shift, the latest New Balance collaboration with Jack Harlow gives sneakers a dressier edge. Bringing back the T500 model, a tennis shoe, Jack Harlow softens the shoe for more off-court activities. Adding a wrinkled gloss to the chocolate brown leather, this sneaker ties in well in a business-casual setting or for those whose style leans towards masculine.
