If your sneaker shelf is starting to look more like a museum of has-beens than a line-up of high-performance art, consider this your cue to upgrade. From Italian-made futurism to Tokyo-coded craftsmanship, these are the latest sneaker releases making noise for all the right reasons.
DIOR B35 NXXT, SHOP NOW
Crafted in Italy, Dior’s B35 NXXT sneaker balances sculptural design with technical construction. Designed with an openwork architectural sole featuring the brand’s signature Cannage motif, it looks like it belongs in a modern art gallery. The upper combines beige technical fabric with dual-layer technical mesh for breathability and a textured 90s-inspired profile. With “47” and Dior stamped across the design, plus precision detailing on the tongue and heel, this unique piece isn’t just stylish — it’s a flex in motion.
ADIDAS JAPAN, SHOP NOW
The Adidas Japan sneaker leans into minimal design but delivers maximum quality. Built with a full-grain leather upper and lined in soft leather, this model echoes classic terrace silhouettes while staying firmly premium. “JAPAN” is stamped clearly in gold foil on the sidewall — no guesswork about its influences. The stitching is tight and highly detailed, particularly around the toe box and heel counter, with a durable rubber outsole providing grip and subtle lift. It’s classic adidas, elevated.
DIADORA MYTHOS PROPULSION 280 MASCOTTE, SHOP NOW
Diadora’s Mythos Propulsion 280 Mascotte is shaped by early 2000s performance aesthetics, featuring a bold curved upper that enhances forward motion visually and structurally. Premium leather and pigskin suede dominate the upper, layered over synthetic panels that add durability without extra weight. Branding is subtle — the Diadora logo creates contour lines rather than dominating the profile. Underneath, an EVA midsole cushions every step, while a traditional rubber outsole anchors the design. This isn’t a reissue — it’s a contemporary interpretation of archival function with updated materials.
THE NORTH FACE X UNDERCOVER SOUKUU VECTIV PRO HYBRID, SHOP NOW
Think mountain gear had a glow-up? You’d be right. The North Face and UNDERCOVER’s Soukuu Vectiv Pro Hybrid is built to handle the backcountry, but doesn’t look out of place in the city. Built around The North Face’s VECTIV technology, the soleplate converts downward pressure into forward propulsion. The engineered mesh upper is highly breathable and lightweight, designed for endurance runs but streamlined enough for urban settings. A stabilising heel counter, padded tongue, and grippy rubber outsole round out the construction. This is season four of the Soukuu series, and it’s the most dialled-in to date — performance-focused, fashion-aware, and ready for high-mileage wear.
ASICS GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC, SHOP NOW
The GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC was born in a lab and raised on the streets. Built using Scutoid GEL™ — a 3D midsole technology developed by the ASICS Institute of Sport Science – it’s off-axis geometry enhances shock absorption during long periods of standing or walking. The upper layers various mesh textiles and synthetic leather overlays for comfort and structure, drawing direct design cues from models like the GEL-NIMBUS™, GEL-KINETIC™, and GEL-KINSEI™. It’s a hybrid shoe with full performance capabilities, but its angular midsole and sculptural detailing have given it unexpected fashion-world appeal. Built for city movement, it’s made to perform beyond the gym.
MARNI X HOKA BONDI B3LS, SHOP NOW
When MARNI and HOKA team up, expect more than just a nice sneaker — expect a wearable art piece with serious sole. Built on HOKA’s BONDI platform, it features a full-length EVA midsole and a meta-rocker sole construction that encourages natural foot roll. The rubberised polyester upper is lightly padded and finished in a monotone colour scheme — a sculptural look echoed in the oversized silhouette. With a responsive rubber outsole and cushioned insole, the B3LS prioritises comfort while leaning into bold, fashion-forward design. It’s not built for subtlety — it’s built for style, speed, and structure.
