Just in time for the Y2K revival trend in footwear, Saucony and Jae Tips are reimagining one of their beloved designs last seen in the 2000s. Based on Saucony’s Matrix silhouette, the newest collaboration between the two brands brings forth a colorful new design to vibrate your wardrobe. With two equally bold variants released on this refreshed design, there is sure to be euphoria over the unique colorways and schemes of the shoe details. Although the Matrix design was last seen in 2000, this update ensures that the silhouette is still contemporary and on-trend for the modern era. With a few key details added onto the sneaker, this design doesn’t look a year over 25.

The fourth collaboration between New York-based Jae Tips and the American Saucony brand, the Matrix design is a fun and unique sneaker that leans into its retro look. Crafted out of suede uppers and nubuck toes, the sneaker has heel overlays that give way to a “SAVIOR” text at the lateral heel. This design will come in two versatile and distinctive colorways. The first comes in the collaboration’s “SAVIOR” theme and is composed of burgundy and accents of khaki, light purple, and pink. The second variation sees the same silhouette in shades of pink and purple. Both pairs will be available via Saucony on December 6th and retail for $170 each. While not the typical neutral or tame athletic sneaker you are used to, the strong pops of color are an easy and convenient way to add a personal touch to your look without having to stray too far out of your comfort zone.

While New Balance’s many collaborations have become a point of fame for the company, it doesn’t mean the athletic brand’s in-house designs lack style and quality. As part of New Balance’s effort to tap into their global reach, the brand has begun to release unique designs that pay homage to the sneaker’s construction origin. With collections like MADE in USA, MADE in UK, and MADE in Japan as examples, these designs perfectly capture their origins and honor the work of the crafters responsible. New Balance has released a new design celebrating a heritage and sleek look as part of their Made in UK series. Using moodier tones and clean lines, the latest MADE in UK sneaker is a sophisticated trainer that elevates its silhouette. 
Introducing New Balance 991v2 MADE in UK 

Using New Balance’s 2001-era 991v2 silhouette, the brand has reimagined the sneaker with elevated concepts and a rich colorway. Still doning its ABZORB cushioning, the design retains the sneaker’s comfort and support features. In this new iteration, the uppers are crafted from a blend of dark blue nubuck and leather with light blue mesh, creating a texturized and unique base. Cream accents are found throughout the uppers and midsole, creating a strong contrast. With new side panels and a heel logo repositioned off to the side, the small changes significantly impact its overall look. Hailing from the UK, the new MADE in UK sneaker appears timeless and showcases a vintage design. Those looking to elevate their wardrobe with the “Vintage Navy” sneaker can find it on the New Balance web store and select retailers for $268.

In the past, New Balance has experimented with both colorful and minimalist designs. While a few of their last sneakers have introduced pops of colors throughout, none have had quite the colorful palette as their newest release. Perfectly apt for the future summer season, the most recent New Balance release is not just full of color but a bold kaleidoscope of color. Infusing neon hues throughout the sneaker, this shoe is possibly one of the brand’s brightest. Although the unique colorway captures the eye, the performance features continue to deliver. Fully enriched in 2000s design, this lifestyle sneaker is a flashy, maximalist shoe ready to take over. Whether you need a comfy and statement shoe to run errands or go on walks, this sneaker does all that and more. 
Shine bright with New Balance 740 “Neon Nights”

Aptly named “Neon Nights”, the newest New Balance sneaker is a bold color palette waiting to be worn. Crafted with a ‘Concord Grape’ mesh base, the sneaker takes shape with ‘Purple Fuchsia’ forefoot overlays accenting the vibrant tone. To add even more pop of color, the shoe has “Sun Glow’ yellow accents on the tongue tag, New Balance logos, and the front outsole. Blue and silver tones take over the quarter and heel, while an orange midsole brightens the design even more. Features like the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole ensure that users look great and feel comfortable and stable. Available via the New Balance web store, the ‘Neon Nights’ sneaker retails for $109. Although the maximalist and vibrancy of the sneaker isn’t for everyone, this bold design is ready to be worn and seen in any scenario.
