It’s no secret that Prada knows how to create out-of-the-box trends and statement pieces that catch everyone’s attention. While many of their pieces can be seen as wearable art rather than practical, their latest release might be just the finishing piece your wardrobe needs. Unknown for their footwear lineups, Prada’s newest sneaker is all about being a practical shoe you can take anywhere. These sneakers aren’t just for show, despite their similar silhouette to ballerina shoes. Subtle and lowkey in their presentation, Prada’s latest release might be the perfect shoe to keep up with your style, no matter where you go. 

Introducing Prada’s ‘Collapse’ sneaker

Crafted on the heels of a slender sneaker trend, Prada’s “Collapse” sneaker is about maximizing style with as little as possible. Crafted with elasticized heels, a nylon midfoot, and a suede heel and toe cap, this sneaker is ideal for travelers looking to save space but don’t want to sacrifice style. A removable leather insole allows users to adjust the shoe to their liking and comfort. With the ultimate retro sneaker touch, Prada’s ‘Collapse’ shoe doesn’t lose any sense of the trends, despite its slimmer silhouette. Available in six colorways that range from neutral to bold, no outfit wouldn’t fit. Those looking to chime in the slim sneaker trend can purchase the ‘Collapse’ sneaker via Prada’s web store for $995. As with many of Prada’s items, there’s no doubt that this sneaker will set the standard for footwear trends soon, meaning fans should hurry to grab their own. Whether you’re looking for dressy sneakers or something that won’t take up space in your luggage, Prada’s ‘Collapse’ is one of the shoes to watch in the upcoming year.

Alex Crane welcomes spring with new colors for the best-seller

Building the right transition wardrobe is all about versatility. Finding ways to make lighter layers work for you by layering up. When you master layering, spring and fall will be more fun and more comfortable, and you can experiment with combining colors, textures, and fabrics. While layering up for the unpredictable rain, winds, and second winters that rudely horn in on the beginning of baseball season, a good sweater is vital for that goal. The Alex Crane Bay Sweater is one of their best sellers every year, and there is a handful of reasons why. The 100% organic cotton is light enough to serve as a layering piece and warm enough to keep you guarded against the unpredictable weather changes.
Understated elegance for spring style

Why use organic cotton? Because it is grown without fertilizers or pesticides and uses 70% less water than conventional cotton. Alex Crane grows their organic cotton in northern India, in the state of Punjab. Cotton is naturally soft, durable, and breathable. Only 1% of global cotton production is organic, so AC looks to help increase that percentage. These Bay Sweaters are made in Romania, in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, meaning they can source the cotton straight from the sources all over Europe. Now that you have chosen the best cotton sweater for this season, you can style it with a henley or a button-down underneath or a great textured overshirt or jacket over the top of it. The bone, pine, and king colorways are the perfect way to stand out for the current season.

New Balance’s recent luxury star is coming in a brand new color
New Balance releases new sneaker
pair of white new balance allerdale sneakers

While it feels as if New Balance’s luxury walking shoe, Allerdale, was released only a few days ago, the brand is already prepping for another colorway drop. Previously, the athletic company revealed their ‘Made in UK Allerdale’ sneaker, which mixed sophisticated and low-key details in one chic design. Already proven a hit globally, New Balance is taking advantage of the heightened popularity by unveiling the silhouette’s newest shade. While the past Brown/Black color combination was a classic mix, the latest color is a minimalist look that has the opportunity to turn into a timeless shoe. This sneaker is the ultimate casual sneaker for the brand’s Made in UK line that’ll elevate your everyday looks. 
New Balance Allerdale “White/White”

Donning a new crisp white hue, the upcoming New Balance ‘Allerdale’ design repeats its predecessor’s chic style. Created with tumbled leather uppers, the off-white midsole offers a small tonal contrast that adds dimension to the overall style. Color and material variation adds texture and style to the look, giving it the sense of an old-school heritage sneaker. D-ring lacing, embroidered branding, and a woven graphic label at the tongue complement the sneaker. A green Ortholite sole insert adds a pop of hidden color while adding comfort and cushion to the design. The epitome of a classic white sneaker, this Allerdale is versatile and functional, with a sophisticated design. With a new colorway already releasing weeks after the initial release, there's no doubt that new hues are expected for this model in the near future. Those looking for this new hue can purchase the Allerdale sneaker via New Balance’s website starting April 3, with the shoe retailing for $250.

Following their first collaboration in 2024, Reebok and White Mountaineering are reuniting for another stellar partnership. Along with the Japanese label, Reebok is taking on their famed Classic Leather for a remix that gives it a retro update with plenty of techy finishes. Far from their minimalist and subdued first partnership, this new collaborative sneaker takes a new spin with stylish details that elevate an iconic silhouette. The latest collaboration in two new neutral shades is another example of how the retro sneaker trend has continued flourishing and doesn’t seem to have an end date. Showcasing their “Unplugged” campaign, the duo’s new release is about being intentional with your time and style choices.

“Our brand is often associated with active scenes, but this time, we wanted to show how our collaboration shoes fit a more relaxed environment,” says White Mountaineering founder Yosuke Aizawa. “The soft mood of the campaign perfectly complements the color palette of the shoes.” Crafted in brown or grey shades, the WM x Reebok Classic Leather shoe uses an upper composed of a premium leather, suede, and nubuck mix. Contrasting trims around the design give the shoe an extra touch of dimension and style, along with the texturized materials that compose the sneaker. Complete with a custom co-branded tongue label, branding wordmark on the heel, and a custom footbed, this design represents the specialness of the collaboration. Further sneaker details include terry lining, tonal laces, and a custom branded shoe box. Set for an April 11 release, the remixed Classic Leather will be available for $190 on the White Mountaineering and Reebok web stores.
