Tom Sachs x Nike General Purpose Shoe

Releasing as the second colourway from Tom Sachs and Nike’s most recent team-up, this ‘Yellow’ iteration of the Tom Sachs x Nike General Purpose Shoe takes a more vibrant approach to the silhouette. In comparison to the prior ‘Grey’ colourway, this pair is doused in a vibrant all-over yellow colour that is ideal for the upcoming autumn months, whilst the pair also rock an aged cream midsole, red heel tabs, a signature midfoot Nike Swoosh, as well as a black tread outsole. A must-have beater.

Moncler x Clarks Originals Wallabee Boot

Albeit it’s not much of a sneaker, but this Moncler x Clarks Originals Wallabee Boot gives you something left-of-centre for the autumn season. Arriving alongside a similarly-designed ‘Beige Wool’ iteration, this standout pair boast bright ‘Orange Wool’ composition, with the entirety of the upper donning a fuzzy wool material. Additional features include a signature Clarks sole as well as metallic lacing togs, which provide ultimate comfort through an adjustable bungee cord. Lastly, suede logo fobs, which boast both Clarks and Moncler branding, come attached to the upper of the pair. Aside from the Moncler design touch, you can never go wrong with a Wallabee.

New Balance RC30

Continuing their slate of RC30 releases, New Balance have stepped forward with a toned-down iteration of their new R30 silhouette. Releasing in a ‘Black/Sea Salt’ colourway, this pair keep to the script and utilise the same colour blocking, mixed suede and mesh materials, and twisted outsole that the prior releases saw, instead simply switching out other colours for a minimal black and grey palette. Lastly, hits of red adorn the lining of the heel as well as the New Balance tongue branding, with signature New Balance insignia sitting on the midfoot panelling. If you’re looking to cast your style back to the 70s, this pair are a must cop.

Mixing up the typical Cortez composition, the pair utilise hits of grey on the upper with a printed Nike Swoosh adorning the midfoot, whilst a rough suede appears on the toe box and eye stays. A modern take on a classic? Yes please.
