PAUSE Picks: 5 Sneaker Releases of the Week

Part of Converse’s Renew line, which renovates the brand’s signature styles with more sustainable practices, this pair of Chuck Taylor’s feature a clear ice-blue midsole that exposes the split-colour black and white upper.

Deconstructing its archives from the 2000s, this latest New Balance sneaker has layers of grey-hued suede panels attached to its mesh body in a mismatched manner. With the shoe currently doing the rounds on Instagram and selling out very quickly, be sure to snap up a pair of these as they are being re-stocked.

Barcelona is renowned for its communal art spaces and the designers at Nike have taken inspiration from them to create this Nike Blazer. Experimenting with the signature sneaker, different textures meet each other throughout, something which is most clearly illustrated on Nike’s swoosh which is created from leather, corduroy and embroidery.

Continuing to work with Converse, paria /FARZANEH has combined her Iranian heritage, 90s sportswear and modern utility to create this latest sneaker. With laces ditched for a zip-up outer shell that protects an inner sock liner, these shoes have been designed to forefront functionality.

This pastel-toned Nike Air Force 1 is described by the American brand to be in a “Sea Glass Seafoam and Pur Violet” colourway. With the soft combination of green and purple on the upper, we certainly think it is deserved of such a poetically named colourway.
