PAUSE Picks: Top Sneaker Releases of the Week

Starting off on a winning foot, Moncler Genius and Salehe Bembury have officially come together for their collaborative Trailgrip Grain sneaker capsule, with this particular green and blue pair encapsulating the collection’s ethos. Bridging outdoor wear with luxury, this collaboration features this standout pair that is primed for any rough and ready occasion, with some key design features including a divided green and blue earth-tone colour palette, a distinct Bembury fingerprint-inspired upper, swirled 3D design, as well as eye-catching spiked VIBRAM soles. Are we looking at the shoe of the year?

Take a walk on the wild side with these cow-print Isham Mules from Dr. Martens. With the rise of the cowboy boot, retro styled farm themed footwear is definitely on the rise, with leopard and cow print set to be next in line. This pair merge streetwear with a sense of formality as Dr. Martens’ classic sole unit adorned with signature yellow stitching sits subtly alongside a vibrant white and tan cow print hair upper design. A low riding heel and a silver metallic buckle finish up this impossible to ignore pair.

The shoe of the summer is back and better than ever, with this ‘Concrete Oatmeal’ colourway taking the floor this time around. The forward-thinking modern effort sees silver take the stage on the top half whilst a dose of beige ‘Oatmeal’ divides the shoe in two across the bottom. A mixed material upper is combined with lightweight foams and GEL technology to maximise comfort, making it ideal for the all-day run around.

Another sporty classic arrives through Nike and their classic TN Air Max Plus silhouette, which debuts in this summer-ready ‘Black/Blue Gradient’ colourway. Known for its affection for bright colour, the TN Air Max Plus makes sure to stay true to itself with this new edition as a vibrant ocean blue touches down on the cushioned upper alongside the hardened silver Nike midfoot Swoosh, whilst a black midsole air unit also keeps its place.

Keeping their long-standing love affair going, Converse and A-COLD-WALL* have stepped back onto their collaborative path with a simplified iteration of the Chuck 70 Low silhouette. Bringing in a different dose of green, this flat-laying silhouette features technical features such as a durable wax upper as well as translucent detailing, whilst mismatched eyelets and collaborative Converse x A-COLD-WALL* branding finishes off the central design features.
