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.

Alongside the French shoe designer, ASICS has upgraded their latest offering for one that can easily be your new favorite dress shoe.

The new beaded Superstar

Using texture and shine, the latest Superstar sneaker set to be released is a fun addition to the Superstar lineup. While other iterations of the silhouette have seen crocodile and patent leather, the new sneaker adds a beaded material to the classic design. Keeping the same silhouette and shape, the shoe’s sides have a classic base full of intricate beaded details. Delicately portraying the brand’s Three Stripes design, the Superstar sneaker successfully adds shine to the timeless sneaker. Available in a classic black and white colorway, the sneaker also includes the traditional leather construction throughout the middle of the silhouette. The newest Superstar sneaker will be ready for $250 on February 6th via the brand’s website and stores. While this release doesn't push the Superstar silhouette out of the box, it's a welcome sign for faithful fans of the design. With continued interest in classic and retro sneakers, there's no doubt that adidas has plenty more remixes planned for some of their most iconic sneakers.
