PAUSE Picks: Top Sneaker Releases of the Week

Action Bronson strikes while the iron is hot for SS24′ as the renowned musician and designer cooks up another effort with New Balance. Debuting the all-new Baklava x New Balance 1906R “Rosewater,” the duo follow up previous joint efforts to have their take on the increasingly popular 1906R silhouette, with this latest colourway seeing a white transparent upper material layer sleekly over hits of stark pink, with an orange midsole unit and hits of blue and green rounding out a summer stunner.

Travis Scott and Air Jordan continue to hit their designs out the park as they re-up their more than special partnership, putting forward the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Canary.” As you might expect, a sprawling yellow overlaps a rich white leather base on the upper, with a cobalt blue reverse Nike Swoosh keeping things ticking alongside signature Cactus Jack branding, a gum outsole, as well as yellow laces. La Flame strikes again.

It might not be everybody’s most favoured silhouette, but like it or not the Nike Cortez is one of the all time greats. Returning with a blast from a not so distant past, Nike have reimagined their signature shoe with a vintage touch, debuting the Cortez Vintage Suede in a simple ‘”Black/Coconut Milk” colourway. A roughened, worn-in suede, a slick white colour scheme, an aged midsole, and a signature dose of Nike red on the insoles and tongue tab keep this pair classic. Get in your Jeremy Allen-White bag.

London’s own Craig Green grabs the sneaker game by the scruff of the neck once again alongside adidas, putting his name back into the hat with the Craig Green x adidas Squash Polta AKH in “Multi Brown.” It’s dark, it’s moody, and it’s to the point, Green’s latest pair underlines his passion for utility and longevity, with a darkened colour scheme and an extended set of adidas Three Stripes doing the trick once again.

Keeping us fed with the TN’s, Nike arrive in style yet again as they maintain speed with the Nike TN Air Max Plus All Day “Hot Pink,” which serves up a vibrant mainstay just in time for the UK summer. A black netting sits subtly atop a fading pink design on the upper, with the rest of the pair making sure to let the “Hot Pink” do the talking, laying back with a more than adequate black.
