In recent seasons, the fashion house Bottega Veneta has evolved beyond its famed leather goods and accessories. With more styles added to their lineup each season, the house has also become a footwear powerhouse, continually developing exciting new styles. In their most recent launch, the brand has added a new Orbit sneaker to its series, which may be its thinnest and lightest design yet. Perfectly in line with the current trend of subdued silhouettes, the new Orbit sneaker has been slimmed down to the maximum, creating a barely-there style. Donning a thin sole, the new Orbit sneaker mixes just the right amount of a classic casual sneaker and designer touch to create a one-of-a-kind style you don’t want to miss out on.

Named ‘The Orbit Flash,’ the newest sneaker in Bottega Veneta’s collection gets inspiration from classic Y2K styles and traditional ‘70s era trainers. Featuring supple suede and lightweight nylon, the design seamlessly blends these materials to create a texturized style with depth. Subtle leather trim details on the tongue and eyelets add a sophisticated touch to the look. Taking the spotlight is the shoe’s ultra-thin rubber outsole, which appears non-existent unless highlighted by its contrasting gum colorway that extends up to the heel. Arriving in six distinct color schemes, the new Orbit flash sneaker offers a fresh take on a classic silhouette that continues to grow in popularity. Available now via Bottega Veneta’s webstore, the sneakers retail for $990 each.

In New Balance’s long history, the brand has become home to many iconic silhouettes, colors, and collaborative moments that are worthy of celebration. One of the most recent celebratory moments comes from music brand Roland, where the brand honors 45 years of its TR-808 Rhythm Composer and this year’s “808 Day.” For this momentous occasion, New Balance has partnered with Brazilian pro skater Tiago Lemos to relaunch the special edition Tiago Lemos 808 Lite x Roland sneaker. A sell-out design last year, the 808 Lite x Roland sneaker is a special model for the brand, as it celebrates the impact the 808 music machine has had on music and culture. In a combination that fuses music, skateboarding, and style, it’s no wonder that New Balance is at the forefront of the celebration.

In an era where more brands are seeking out celebrity co-designers, like Bad Bunny’s partnership with Adidas, it’s Salomon’s turn for their moment in the spotlight. Previously teased during his set at Governor’s Ball, Colombian singer and record producer Feid has finally given fans a glimpse into the new Salomon XT-Pathway. Once again, sporting the unreleased sneaker during his set at Hard Summer Festival, Feid’s collaborative design with Salomon is a statement and eye-catching. The design was not only worn on stage during the set, but also via social media, where the singer met up with rapper Snoop Dogg, who also sported a Family & Friends version of the same Salomon XT-Pathway sneaker. While Snoop Dogg’s version is unlikely to see a release, it’s Feid’s version that seems to have caught everyone’s attention.
