PAUSE Picks: Top Sneaker Releases of the Week

If you’re a sneaker head you more than likely know about these shoes, but if you’re new to the world of shoes, you should consider this as one of of your first pick-ups. The ASICS SportStyle & Kiko Kostadinov UB3-S GEL-NIMBUS 9 arrives in a cool blue, teal, and silver colourway and utilises the glossy finish that has been so prominent in high-fashion sneaker releases of late. This shoe is adaptable, comfortable, and most importantly stylish, making it a nailed on summer essential.

Providing this week’s line-up with something smarter, the Duke + Dexter Wilde Forest x White Penny Loafer provides a touch of luxury as the pair utilise handmade Italian leather, a solid rubberised sole, and a padded leather lining, with a clean dark green and white colour scheme adding a timeless aesthetic to the pair.

Salehe Bembury doesn’t look to be slowing down as he release yet another collaborative effort with New Balance, this time unveiling the “Universal Communication” 574 YURT in a Pink/Blue colourway. The shoe is composed of off-white mesh and suede overlays with fuchsia pink dominating the New Balance insignia and sole add-ons. This pair is set to release today, April 22nd.

Looking for a 90s sportswear aesthetic? Salomon have you covered. The reemergence of the brand has been lead by their footwear, with their latest COPSON collaboration underling everything that’s great about the brand. This pair arrive in a white, vanilla, and red colourway as well as boasting retro gum soles. Some hits of Salomon branding adorn the upper, with this pair providing a comfortable summer walking shoe.

Being the standout release of the week, the adidas x M&Ms Forum Low 84 was one that emerged out of left field, but most sneaker heads aren’t complaining. The shoe boasts an array of M&M-themed additions and nods to everyone’s favourite chocolate treat, with the shoe coming in a predominantly yellow and brown colourway. Buy this pair if you want to start a lot of conversations.
