For this release, Kith and New Balance have upgraded their classic 990 line with the v4 version which sees a mixture of suede and mesh materials in a brown colorway. The 990v4 comes with New Balance’s famed ENCAP midsole for more support. Finishing touches include a transparent “N” logo on the side, the Made in the USA, and 990v logos. The newly upgraded 1000 sneaker dons a blue monochromatic colorway on the suede and canvas uppers. The 1000 sneaker also comes with the brand’s ABZORB midsole for extra comfort. These shoes also come with New Balance’s “N” logo and Kith’s branding on the heel. Those looking to get their hands on either pair must sign up for Kith’s drawing via their app for a chance to purchase. While subtle in their colorway, these sneakers appeal to quality over a statement design, making them ideal for those looking for a bit of luxury in their step.

When it comes to establishing a signature design, there’s no doubt that Rick Owens has established itself as the go-to brand for chunky sneakers. As we’ve seen through previous releases, Rick Owens isn’t afraid of a thick sole, even reaching for some over-the-top, exaggerated silhouettes at times. Now, designer Rick Owens is making quite the statement by going in the opposite direction with his newest Minimalist Sneaker. After establishing his brand as a mix of avant-garde and everyday sneakers, Rick Owens’ latest step calls for a low-key and subdued design that puzzles faithful fans. Arriving through his fall 2025 collection, “Concordians,” the minimalist sneaker may appear sleek and slim, but it's an impactful release that will undoubtedly make a statement.

While it's hard to make a pair of Red Wing shoes even more enticing and elevated, the design and repair studio Goods & Services has managed to do just that. On the verge of a new season, the pair has pulled out all the stops to upgrade one of Red Wing’s once-forgotten silhouettes. Released in the 1950s, the Postman was Red Wing’s stylish response for professionals looking for sophisticated comfort. Although this style was ultimately retired from the brand’s lineup, Red Wing’s partnership with Goods & Services has brought back this design with modern updates, making it an even more classy dress shoe option. Styled as an Oxford, the shoe dons a unique new look that signals a substantial departure from its original form.
