As the end of 2022 looms closer and closer, the sneaker industry is finishing it off with a bang with some of the hottest sneakers of the entire year. From the ultra hyped Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Low "Orange Lobster" to the long-awaited NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Certified Lover Boy," the next seven days are filled with nothing but the heat. If you see any other pairs that you think should have been on this list, make sure to let us know over on Instagram and don't forget to follow us as well for the best content that the Asian sneaker community has to offer!
The latest, and possibly the last, entry into the the legendary "Lobster Dunk" series, the Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Low "Orange Lobster" has got to be one of the hottest sneakers of the entire year. Featuring a leather construction, shellfish-inspired details can be found throughout. The iconic patchwork pattern adorns the sockliner, and while it isn't shown here, the toebox comes with an elastic band which resembles the straps you'd find around a lobster's claws at your local seafood market.
After months and months of leaks and teasers and even rumors that the collaboration was canceled altogether, Drake's NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Certified Lover Boy" is officially here in the flesh. Building on top of the "Triple White" colorway, this tribute to the Champagne Papi's mom switches out the usual starry outsole with hundreds of hearts, and is decorated with "Love you forever" across the lateral midsole.
While the second Home Alone film definitely isn't as popular as the first, over the past few years it has gained a pretty prominent cult following. For its latest collaboration, the Home Alone 2 x adidas Forum Low "Solid Grey" is inspired by Kevin McCallister's adventures across New York City, more specifically, the pigeon lady that he meets in Central Park. With plenty of cool details to speak of, you definitely don't want to miss this reelase.
If you want to give your stealthy shoe game the upgrade that it deserves, then you should definitely check out the New Balance 550 "Black Gum." Released as part of the Boston-based sportswear brand's Winter collection, this "Triple Black" beauty is outfitted in leather, suede, and mesh. As if that wasn't enough, the midsole has also been lined with a healthy dose of gum rubber, making these perfect for the wet and windy months.
And last but not least, we have the Pharrell Williams x adidas Samba Humanrace "White." A truly unexpected collaboration, while Skateboard P is usually known for giving sneakers a futuristic rework, for this collection he has gone back to the '50s. Outfitted in leather and suede, the biggest difference between this and the original Samba is the oversized tongue that we're kind of feeling.
