Release scheduled for November 26 at Supreme. Appointment at the tattoo artist on the 27th?

Vans Vault x Mastermind World presented by END.

This other Vans collaboration available in the UK store END. has at least two big advantages: 1) The addition of a zipper will undoubtedly appeal to those who like hi-tops but do not necessarily have to do and undo their laces. 2) This is perhaps one of the most affordable pieces signed by the Japanese luxury streetwear label you can find.

Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Foamposite One

Unveiled on the occasion of the Comme des Garçons Homme Plus FW21 show, the Nike Air Foamposite One revisited by Comme des Garçons seems to have arrived quite at the right time as experiments around the design of sneakers (and more particularly clogs) turn to a kind of polymer sculpture/3D printing. Here, the legendary silhouette released in 1997 and worn by Penny Hardaway is adorned with a wavy 3D pattern that will recall ripples, a Japanese garden or just about anything. It's visually interesting and much more wearable than it looks.

Stan Smith Primegreen

“Nous pensons que par le sport, nous avons le pouvoir de changer des vies. Depuis 1998, adidas développe des partenariats et introduit des innovations dans le but de répondre à cette croyance. Conscients de notre rôle dans la pollution plastique, nous nous sommes fixé l'objectif d'éliminer l'utilisation de polyester vierge dans nos produits d'ici 2024. Cette année, nous donnerons vie à des idées que nous pensons être fondamentales pour un monde meilleur, à commencer par une Stan Smith plus éco-responsable”, explique Franke Henke, SVP Sustainability & Global Operations chez adidas. Cette nouvelle Stan Smith dotée d'une tige en Primegreen (un matériau haute performance 100% recyclé) et d'une semelle en caoutchouc recyclé pourrait donc ouvrir la voie vers un monde meilleur ?

Ralph Sampson 70s Rubber Puma x Maison Kitsuné

Pour sa première collaboration avec Puma, Maison Kitsuné a décidé de rhabiller la sneaker Ralph Sampson de caoutchouc, un peu à la façon d'une surchaussure qui la rendrait tout-terrain et permet de jouer sur le contraste entre deux environnements et les deux marques.

Sneakers Ralph Sampson 70s Rubber Puma x Maison Kitsuné, 130€

CELINE x Tyson Reeder

Issues de la ligne de produits réalisés en collaboration avec le peintre américain Tyson Reeder, ces sneakers Celine sont habillées d'un motif qui reflète assez bien ce que la marque appelle la “douce étrangeté du quotidien” montrée dans son oeuvre mais s'accorde aussi assez bien avec un début d'humeur estivale. Elles sont donc plutôt dans l'air du temps, non ?

Sneakers CELINE, 450€ chez Mr Porter

Dsquared2 Bubble

Punk et athlétiques à la fois, les nouvelles sneakers Dsquared2 se démarquent par leur bulle d'air mais aussi leur mix de matières et même de laçage. Parfait pour ceux qui en veulent toujours plus.

Sneakers Bubble, Dsquared2, 705€ chez SSENSE

Converse x Kim Jones Chuck 70 Utility Wave Hi

Après une collaboration avec Nike un peu plus tôt dans l'année, Kim Jones s'est attaqué aux Converse Chuck 70 avec ce qu'il décrit comme une approche très directe du design de la chaussure : “prendre une paire très classique et l'envelopper dans quelque chose pour la protéger”. Techniquement, cela se traduit par un allongement et une nouvelle courbure de la semelle intermédiaire en caoutchouc pour créer un effet d'optique d'élévation ainsi que la création d'une cage transparente avec des oeillets pour les lacets, le tout adhérant à la tige en toile de la sneaker. On peut considérer que Kim Jones a donc vraiment rhabillé la Chuck 70.

Play Comme des Garçons x Converse Jack Purcell

Après le succès indéniable de leur collaboration autour de la Chuck Taylor, Comme des Garçons Play et Converse viennent de dévoiler pour la première fois depuis une décennie une nouvelle version de la Jack Purcell. Pour l'occasion, elle s'habille de logos coeur oversize mais aussi d'une nouvelle couleur : le “Silver Filigree”.

Sneakers Play Comme des Garçons x Converse Jack Purcell, 120£ chez Dover Street Market

Loewe Flow Runner

Inspirées des chaussures de sport des années 70, les nouvelles sneakers Loewe se démarquent par leur fabrication luxueuse et leur monogramme en L mais aussi par la semelle en gomme qui remonte sur l'avant de la chaussure et au niveau du talon. Un détail intriguant qui fait toute la différence.

Sneakers Flow Runner Loewe, 550€ sur matchesfashion.com

Moncler Promyx Space

Même si ses détails sont plutôt empruntés aux chaussures de basketball des années 90, la nouvelle sneaker Promyx Space de Moncler porte plutôt bien son nom : elle a un look suffisamment futuriste pour qu'on se voie bien la porter dans l'espace.

Sneakers “Promyx Space”, Moncler, 495€ chez END.

Timberland x BEE Line Garrison Trail

Réalisée en collaboration avec la Bee Line du label Billionaire Boys Club, ces sneakers Timberland reprennent le meilleur des détails techniques des chaussures de trail mais aussi des combinaisons de couleurs par lesquelles elles se démarquent souvent du reste des sneakers. Ici, le combo de couleurs pastel légèrement rétro a une sacré street créd'.

Sneakers “Garrison Trail Low” Timberland x Bee Line, 155€ chez END.

Asics x Andersson Bell Gel-1090

Dessinée en collaboration avec la marque sud-coréenne Andersson Bell, cette version spéciale de la GEL-1090 d'Asics SportStyle vient teinter la silhouette athlétique d'accents outdoor avec un jeu sur trois types de lacets de différentes épaisseurs. Pas besoin de partir en rando pour qu'elles fassent leur petit effet.

Sneakers Asics x Andersson Bell Gel-1090, 159€ chez END.

New Balance x Snow Peak MSRC4SA

Collaboration entre le Tokyo Design Studio de New Balance et la marque nippone spécialisée dans l'outdoor, cette New Balance est peut-être l'une des plus techniques de la marque (les mots CORDURA, GORE-TEX et la boucle FIDLOCK vous parleront peut-être) mais sa silhouette pas comme les autres fait qu'on a aussi très envie de les porter à la ville.

Sneakers New Balance x Snow Peak, 329€ chez END.

Valentino Garavani Macramé

Oui, ces incroyables sneakers Valentino sont faites de rubans tissés et noués façon macramé. En plus de leur facteur “wow”, elles ont l'air très confortables.

Mr P. Larry Eco Edition

Cette nouvelle version des baskets blanches Larry de la marque maison de Mr Porter est réalisée en cuir alternatif (un bio-matériau VEGEA fabriqué à partir de déchets de raisins recyclés générés par l'industrie vinicole) avec des semelles fabriquées à partir de 30% de caoutchouc recyclé. De quoi faire un pas dans la bonne direction.

Nike Air VaporMax Evo Anthracite

Parmi toutes les sorties du Air Max Day (oui, la fête annuelle des Air Max), il y a cette impressionnante Nike Air VaporMax Evo qui combine pas moins de 7 innovations de l'histoire de la Air Max. Just do it, comme on dit.

Nouvelle basket en toile unisexe signée Palladium, la Palla Ace reprend le style épuré des célèbres Palladiums et joue sur l'épaisseur de la semelle pour donner un peu de mordant à une silhouette classique.

Reebok x Maison Margiela Club C

Après une version hybride avec la fameuse bottine Tabi, Maison Margiela a utilisé une autre de ses signatures pour revisiter les sneakers Reebok : le trompe-l'oeil, qui vient ici remplacer certains empiècements et les perforations de la Club C.

Sneakers Reebok x Maison Margiela, 272€ sur matchesfashion.com

adidas x Wales Bonner Samba

Très bonne alternative aux Stan Smith et Superstar, la Samba de la marque aux trois bandes a même un certain surplus d'élégance par sa silhouette fine. Sans oublier l'intéressante combinaison de matières et de couleurs que lui a donné la créatrice Grace Wales Bonner à l'occasion de sa collaboration avec adidas.

Sneakers adidas x Wales Bonner, 180€ chez matchesfashion.com (bientôt disponible)

Vans x Wacko Maria UA OG Authentic LX Canvas

Il parait que les chaussures sont ce que beaucoup de gens regardent en premier. Avec cette paire de Vans réalisée en collaboration avec la marque japonaise Wacko Maria, vous pourrez montrer que vous êtes fan de musique (ou que vous aimez les imprimés un peu rétro) dès le premier coup d'oeil.

Sneakers Vans + Wacko Maria, 85€ chez Mr Porter

ASICS X Vivienne Westwood GEL-KAYANO 27 LTX

Inspirées par la collection provocatrice “SEX” de Vivienne Westwood et Malcolm McLaren en 1974, cette paire de sneakers reprend l'idée des chaussettes en latex pour l'amener vers le monde de la basket technique avec les technologies propres à ASICS même s'il ne s'agit pas vraiment d'une chaussure de running. A vrai dire, ce n'est tout simplement pas à une paire de sneakers comme les autres.

Sneakers ASICS X Vivienne Westwood, 240€ chez Mr Porter

Nike Space Hippie 01

On vous en a déjà parlé : les Space Hippie sont les sneakers Nike avec la plus faible empreinte carbone à ce jour. Mais même sans laisser de trace et en étant produites à partir de déchets textiles et de matériaux recyclés, elles devraient attirer tous les regards grâce à un design où il n'y a rien à jeter.

Sneakers Nike Space Hippie 01, 130€ chez Mr Porter

adidas x Pharrell Williams Hu NMD BF

Silhouette très convoitée par les collectionneurs, la Hu NMD signée Pharrell Williams pour adidas revient dans le cadre d'une collection placée sous le signe du monochrome noir. On tient là une concurrente sérieuse aux baskets blanches en ce début de printemps.

Nike x Kim Jones Air Max 95

Directeur artistique de l'homme chez Dior et de la femme chez Fendi, Kim Jones s'est associé avec Nike en son nom propre (que l'on retrouve sur le talon de la paire) pour revisiter la Air Max 95 en version cuir premium et mesh avec des perforations au laser sur les côtés ainsi que des touches de fluo au niveau des bulles d'air et du laçage. Une version luxueuse d'une paire plutôt street qu'on pourra porter dans pas mal de contextes.
