Although Native Shoes have become a staple among families and younger children, their newest release is for a new demographic. In celebration of their 15th anniversary, Native Shoes is rereleasing their 2014 Apollo design in a new lifestyle sneaker. Even though the brand already has a lengthy men’s and women’s collection, the Apollo 10 sneaker is a redesigned shoe that creates a more sophisticated silhouette. Incorporating new comfort-centered technology, this sneaker balances Native’s need for practicality with an elevated design. By using purposeful materials, Apollo 10 also pays homage to the brand’s mission of lowering their environmental impact.

For Native’s new release, users will find three new colors for everyday looks. At $135, the Apollo 10 sneaker will be available in bone white, quicksand brown, and brown. Unlike previous Native designs, the Apollo 10 uses a rubber outsole for durable traction, a microfiber upper made from recycled materials, a stretchy PU, a microfiber lining with padding for comfort, and an added heel loop for easier access. The Apollo 10’s midsole also comes with Supercritical Sugarlite, Native Shoe’s new foaming process that utilizes fewer chemicals in its production. Unlike other designs, this release is made for an older demographic rather than adopting designs in adult sizes.

Apart from the innovative design that Native Shoes presents, this lifestyle sneaker uses some of the latest technology you can find in most performance shoes today. After an abundance of requests from their adult customers, Native Shoes has brought back one of their most famed designs. Combining this with Native Shoes’ unique brand, there’s no reason you wouldn’t want to wear them all the time.

Just in time for The Players Championship, Reebok has joined the golf discussion with the return of its Performance Collection. Shortly after announcing US Open champion Bryan Dechambeau as their ambassador, Reebok unveiled their returning Reebok Golf collection involving three new styles. With a classic and stylish touch, all three designs offer various benefits and looks to fit your golf routine best. Whether you’re looking for a new look on and off the green, the three new Reebok Golf shoes are a dapper start for their first collection. Whether or not you’re vying for a golf championship, these pairs enhance your performance on any surface. As already teased on Dechambeau, these Reebok Golf additions are only a small view into what the brand has in store throughout the year.
Reintroducing Reebok Golf

For their first collection back, Reebok Golf has introduced three new designs. The primary design, Nano Golf, was already seen on golfer Bryan Dechambeau and his LIV Golf Team, Crushers GC. The Nano Golf features a Floatride Performance Foam in the midsole, a lightweight Flexweave Upper, and an upperfoot TPU Torsion Shank. With these features, the shoe is breathable yet stable and supportive while on the green. Besides the Nano Golf, Reebok is releasing the Question Golf. Crafted with full-grain leather with a performance outsole, this design also dons a classic black and white with a red accent colorway. Spikeless, the Question Golf is prepared for any surface.

Converse joins the sneaker-loafer trend with a sophisticated design

Converse releases new sneaker-loafer

As divisive as the style might be, it seems as if every brand wants to participate in the sneaker-loafer trend. After brands like New Balance and HOKA have explored the interesting silhouette, Converse is ready to dive in. While some despise the look and others find it innovative, the newest Converse hybrid is unlike those previously mentioned. Donning a more casual yet sleek look, the latest model from the Nike-owned brand is a much more refined design. Unlike other sneaker-hybrid loafers that tend to appear more athletic, the Converse design is more equipped for everyday use. With a lower profile than others in the market, the Converse sneaker loafer is a perfect option for those still on the fence about the design.

The new shoe, created with a traditional loafer silhouette and pops of Converse’s All-Star sneaker sprinkled throughout, is a low-key design with flair. Composed of leather paneling, the minimalist material is smooth and luxe all around. Added features like a tasseled midfoot strap with embossed stars at the tip and an embossed logo at the heel give the design a subtle look that doesn’t lean toward an athletic aesthetic. Bringing in the sneaker concept is the brand’s traditional Converse sole, which you can find throughout all of the brand’s footwear options. Available in either black or off-white, this hybrid is one of the most refined options of the trend yet. While there’s no doubt that this sneaker-loafer design will have plenty of fans, it has yet to see a release in the United States. Although only available in Japan, there’s no doubt the brand will soon announce a global release for this trendy sneaker.

CNCPTS and New Balance unveil new money-themed sneaker

CNCPTS, New Balance announce new sneaker

Fresh off of their “Brut” collaboration, CNCPTS and New Balance are joining forces once more for a new design that differs from what we’ve seen from the pair. While their previous releases tackled the New Balance 740 model and paid homage to different drinks, their newest sneaker takes another turn. This time around, CNCPTS and New Balance are referencing the USD 1,000 banknote, of which only two bills are known to exist. One of these banknotes sold in an auction in 2014 for $3 million is as rare as they get. Besides referencing this rare collectible, the sneaker’s release coincides with Saint Patrick’s Day, making it an all-around green affair. Aptly named the ‘1000 Mile, ’ the new collaborative sneaker contains colorful accents and well-thought-out details. Although this release won’t be as rare as the bill it references, users should expect these designs to fly off the shelves.
