The Jarritos x Nike SB Dunk Low "Phantom" has literally been on our radar since last summer, and now, it's finally here. Made in collaboration with the Mexican soft drinks brand, this sneaker features a hemp construction that tears away over time, revealing a bold base layer that represents some of their most popular flavors. Co-branded detailing decorates the heels, and all of this comes in a cream SB box which kicks off a new era of the skateboarding sub-brand.
The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 1906R "Green" literally came out of nowhere and it's already slated to be one of 2023's most hyped drops. Made in collaboration with Teddy Santis' streetwear label, the Queens-born designer has applied his signature normcore aesthetic to the retro model. Accents of forest green and rose gold make their way throughout, and this comes packed in a special edition shoebox that's accompanied with an exclusive suede dust bag.
We all knew that it was coming, but after months and months of waiting, the COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Terminator High "Black" has officially landed. Part of a three-shoe collection, Rei Kawakubo's take on the '80s basketball shoe is exactly what you'd expected. Clean, minimalist, and truly timeless, this might just be one of the best CDG x Swoosh shoes of all-time. Seriously.
Action Bronson just won't stop. Not only is he a chef, wrestler, and actor, the multi-hyphenate now adds sneaker collaborator to his resumé with the Action Bronson x New Balance 990v6 "Lapis Lazuli." His second take on the sixth generation 990, it works on top of a ballistic mesh base and is overlaid by vibrant suede and leather paneling throughout. All of this sits on top of a creamy ABZORB midsole, and it's made in the US of A as well for guaranteed luxury.
And last but most certainly not least, we have the Sandy Liang x Salomon XT-6 Expanse "Cradle Pink." Giving the gorpcore friendly silhouette an extra pretty makeover, this XT-6 pays homage to the NYC-based designer's love of anime and all things kawaii. With a pink mesh base and flower detailing throughout, it really doesn't get cuter than this.
