PAUSE Picks: 5 Sneaker Releases of the Week

A classic shoe, the Converse Chuck 70 continues to excite sneakerheads, which this latest iteration is testament to. The American brand has updated the shoe to present various bandana prints patchworked on the upper.

Teased last week by Matthew Williams, the co-founder of 1017 ALYX 9SM, the brand’s latest sneaker release in collaboration with Nike is now available to buy. With its white counterpart having already sold out, you will have to be quick to cop this black and grey colourway. Alternatively, if you weren’t able to purchase a pair then try the second link below to buy the sneaker from StockX.

Coming from the brand’s “Made in UK” line, this New Balance 1500 expertly mixes brown chocolate and caramel hues on its upper. Mixing suede and leather, the shoe sits on an ENCAP sole which ensures comfort and durability.

Named after the quark, an elementary particle found within atoms, this sneaker from C2H4 has a distinct sci-fi look. The bulky sneaker comes in a muted grey produced using ECCO® calfskin and features a Vibram sole.

The Geodiver+ is the latest product to come from Adidas’s longstanding collection in partnership with Parley. Using its material which is created from ocean plastic and combining it with Adidas’s eye for producing sneakers, this minimalist white shoe with black and blue accents has been birthed.
