One of the craziest things about the sneaker industry is that it never takes a break. If you thought last week was full of heat, wait until you check out what's set to drop over the next seven days. From long-awaited collaborations with sacai to brand new Jordans that definitely deserve a spot in your collection, this month has got to be one of the best Decembers for kicks ever. 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!
After a significant delay, the sacai x Nike Cortez 4.0 "Iron Grey" has finally arrived worldwide. Chitose Abe's second rendition of the legendary Cortez silhouette, this was first teased around this time last year in the Japanese brand's lookbook. Outfitted in gray nylon and suede, in classic sacai fashion, everything has been doubled up. From the Swooshes across the sidewalls to the lacing systems all the way to the midsoles down below, these have all been multiplied by two for that delightfully deconstructed vibe that the label is known for.
For the first time ever, Salehe Bembury is lending his signature aesthetic to the 990v2 with the Salehe Bembury x New Balance 990v2 "Sand Be The Time." Acting as a sort of sequel to 2021's 2002R "Water Be The Guide," this pair is painted in soft pink hues throughout and accented with 3M. You'll even find purple fleece accents across the lateral and medial side panels for added depth, and the New York City-based fashion icon's signature fingerprint motif towards the back. No doubt one of the best NB collabs of the year, you definitely don't want to miss this.
While we've seen a low-top version of this colorway before, for the first time ever the Air Jordan 11 "Cherry" is getting a high-top variant, and honestly, we much prefer it. Sticking to the silhouette's OG design, the top half is painted in a crisp white hue, while the bottom half is wrapped in a fiery red patent leather that's sure to turn heads wherever you go. Just like some of the best AJ 11s ever made, the Nike Air midsole underfoot has been lined with an icy blue rubber, cementing this as a future icon through and through.
After months and months of leaks, rumors, and teasers, the hotly-anticipated UNDEFEATED x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Multi-Patent" has finally landed in all its glory. As its name states, this AF1 is crafted from multiple glossy patent leather panels, all painted in contrasting hues throughout. UNDEFEATED's five strike logo is finely debossed around the heel and stitched onto the tongue tag, and as if that wasn't cool enough already, this sneaker sits on top of an icy blue rubber outsole that's perfectly ties everything together.
While the Jacquemus x Nike Air Humara LX "Pink Flash" might not be everyone's cup of tea, you can't deny that it's one of the most eye-catching sneakers to drop this season. Simon Porte Jacquemus' third take on the retro runner, this colorway strays away from his usual neutral aesthetic and opts for a neon pink palette that's unlike anything else out there. Luxe gold hardware can be found throughout for a premium look and feel, and this sits on top of a chunky gum rubber unit that's perfect for the wet and windy seasons.
