PAUSE Picks: 5 Sneaker Releases of the Week

These sneakers are made for walking! Off-White has updated its Out Of Office sneakers to include useful instructions on the purpose of the shoes in the brand’s signature quotation marks. Coming in all-black, “for walking” is added to the side of the sneaker in white using a spray paint effect.

Australian streetwear label Butter Goods has updated a heritage-inspired pair of Puma sneakers titled the Basket VTG. Focusing on texture, this cream-hued sneaker features corduroy on the upper and suede Puma branding running across the side.

Los Angeles streetwear brand Pleasures has added its design expertise to the Reebok Club c Legacy, an updated version of the label’s heritage sneaker which was originally released in 1985. The shoe includes a grey multilayered upper and a clear outsole along with a graphic insole that depicts flowers and leaves.

One of the original colourways of the Balenciaga Track sneakers, the white and orange variation has been given the mule treatment by the luxury fashion house. With its distinctive chunky sole and multi-panelled upper, it adds a summer-centred twist on the ultimate dad shoe.

Based on the brand’s archives from the 1990s, the Converse Run Star is updated with mesh and faux leather panels on the upper which sits on top of its distinctly bulky midsole. Coming in a monochrome colourway of black and white, this sneaker could come directly from the Y2K era.
