Nostalgia is on trend, at least according to Noah and PUMA. Using the 80s and 90s as partial inspiration, the two brands have come together to give fans the perfect outdoor boot to use in the city. With two hiking boots in this first release for the Fall/Winter 2024 collection, this collaboration brings out all the sturdiness and durability you would find on the trails. In this first drop out of two, the brands have given their fans the perfect balance of prep-inspired style with a touch of nature. Even though these hiking boots are made for exploring the urban jungle, they still come with all of the features you would expect if you were trekking in nature. With a high-top and low-top version, wearers can choose the pair that best suits their style.

True to the hiking boot, Puma and Noah’s Hi-Top Hiking Boot is rugged and sturdy. Crafted in a tan, brown, and pink colorway combination, this boot embraces the outdoors. With a nylon base with suede overlays and heel embossed brand patch, the mix and matching of materials gives fans enough contrast for style. A rubber outsole keeps wearers stable, no matter the surface. Inside, the GORE-TEX lining provides comfort and protection for the foot. In a pop of color, the pink laces add an interesting pop that brings it all together.

In their low-top option, Noah and Puma keep the waterproof GORE-TEX lining inside but switch up its appearance to a cream, pink, and blue colorway. With a similar mix of materials as the high-top version, the sleek cream base offers a clean and minimalist touch to your look. With similar pink/red laces, the pop of color adds a strong personality to your footwear. Both are currently available via Noah’s site and retailers. The Hi-Top Boot will have a retail price of $190, while the Low-Top Boot retails for $170. Puma and Noah’s second drop is expected to include a Classic Suede Mid and is set to be released in November.

Converse, GOLF WANG release slip-on sneaker

Although Converse’s parent company, Nike, has recently seen a rise in remixes and rereleases, the sneaker line has tended to avoid the noise. Along with GOLF WANG, the label created by musician Tyler, the Creator, Converse is breaking out their archival designs for a new slip-on sneaker. While slip-on sneakers haven’t seen much trend due to the rise of slim lace-up sneakers, the collaboration between the two brands will turn some heads. While the partnership is a first between the two, the modern and stylish designs seem like a much longer collaboration created them. With the use of exciting colors and textures, these slip-on designs have the potential to rival your favorite casual sneakers. As Converse looks to expand its audience and renovate its look, this collaboration is a welcome sign for future designs that appeal to a new audience.

adidas’ Samba is getting two new shiny metallic colorways

adidas releases new Samba colorway

There’s zero doubt that the adidas Samba has been the ultimate sneaker for the last couple of seasons, and there’s no doubt it will continue to reign for more. Part of this shoe’s charm comes from the numerous collaborations and remixes the sneaker has undergone, allowing it to maintain its popularity. While there will surely be more Samba collaborations, the latest release comes from adidas and packs a metallic punch. Using two shinier colorways, the adidas Samba gets a fun and disco-inspired new look for the season. Ideal for the boldest dressers, the metallic colorways add a fascinating pop of color and the depth of a unique texture. While it might not be the simplest go-to sneaker, it’s certainly an interesting option for those unafraid of some shine.
adidas Samba LT “Metallic Pack”

Although the release of a new “Metallic Pack” brings about new colors, the overall design of your favorite sneaker remains the same. With the traditional soccer-inspired details of a fold-over tongue and slim silhouette, the adidas Samba’s upgrades are purely superficial. Adidas has reimagined the sneaker with premium synthetic leather uppers with a metallic finish in the two colorways. Users will have the option to choose from a silver or gold metallic finish. The traditional gum rubber sole remains on the sneaker for extra traction and protection. On the silver iteration of the shoe, “Pre-Rub” accents add a dose of red to the sneaker. The gold version of the shoe will come with adidas’ signature “Core Black” accents to highlight the metallic finish. Both colorways will retail for $120 each and will be available on March 1 via adidas’ webstore. Although the sneaker isn’t a versatile neutral, the fun metallic finish adds a shiny edge to a traditional shoe.

With shoes like loafers, dress shoes, and leather sneakers rising, it’s easy to give in to the leather footwear trend. Regardless of whether it’s patent or full-grain leather, this fabric is notorious for its sophisticated and stylish look. No matter the occasion, leather continues to be an easy way to add style to even the most casual looks. The rise of leather sneakers has also allowed many to upgrade their looks with a comfortable and practical shoe. While leather certainly has many benefits, it’s a material that requires some care to maintain its sleek look.

As with most leather goods, proper care allows you to extend the lifespan of your shoes throughout the years. While cleaning leather shoes isn’t drastically different than cleaning other materials, keeping in mind the characteristics of leather will help ensure you take the proper steps. With the occasional maintenance and required cleaning, your leather shoes can easily withstand any trend and secure a spot in your wardrobe for seasons.
