When New Balance released their premier walking shoe, Allerdale, it was an immediate hit. With colorways in brown and white, this walking shoe strikes a balance between luxury and practicality. In a new release, New Balance is upgrading its already luxury piece with a more sophisticated material that makes it irresistible. As part of the brand’s MADE in UK collection, this shoe is heritage-inspired, taking details from traditional shoes that elevate your casual outfits. While the new Allerdale shoe is currently only available in the UK, it’s expected to be released more widely soon. For those seeking the ultimate luxury shoe with maximum support and cushion, the New Balance Allerdale remains a modern go-to choice.

The new Allerdale is crafted using the original silhouette with one sophisticated upgrade. Now featuring a brown soft pigskin suede, this design gets a texturized feel that adds a more elevated look. Although it still features the black contrasting sole, the shoe now comes with a tan interior leather that adds dimension and depth to the design. With an Ortholite insole and a sturdy cup-sole, the New Balance Allerdale is stylish, but most importantly, it is sturdy and comfortable. Priced at $250, the suede Allerdale is available in the UK at select retailers while it awaits an official release in the US. The inclusion of soft suede adds a new look to this New Balance shoe, enhancing an already premium design. There’s no doubt that the brand continues to make progress in blending everyday design with its recognized footwear technology.

When it comes to All-American footwear brands, Sperry ranks among the most notable around. Now that the brand is approaching its 90th anniversary, which includes historic moments, it’s time for Sperry to celebrate by looking into the future. With a closer look at the Japanese footwear market, Sperry has unveiled its newest sneaker that’s set to be a Japan exclusive. Taking on the traditional CVO design, the Sperry sneaker has undergone minimal changes to its overall shape to better appeal to the market. As Sperry continues to expand its global reach, it’s now farfetched to imagine more exclusives tailored to specific markets. While the design isn’t planned to land stateside (as of now), this exclusive launch serves as a preview of the next 90 years Sperry has planned.
