PAUSE Picks: Top Sneaker Releases of the Week

Veneda Carter x Timberland 6-Inch Boots

Veneda Carter somehow found an even more controversial take on the Timberland 6-Inch Boot, with her previous glazed efforts being usurped by this all-new “Silver” entry. The blinding pair feature a silver shine across the entirety of the leather upper, with a tonal semi-translucent midsole unit keeping the pair on track. Be quick, these aren’t sticking around.

Merrell 1TRL x Dime Moc Speed Streak

Merrell have come for the thrown in recent weeks, with this hot steak continuing alongside skate heritage brand Dime. The Dime x Merrell 1TRL Moc Speed Streak looks to blend high fashion with performance, boasting a coated leather and breathable mesh upper to fill these gaps. A slip-on construction and neoprene stretch collar ensure easy on-the-go wearability, whilst a 100% recycled heel pull tab, a neoprene lining, and a footbed cover made from 50% recycled mesh combines with Cleansport NXTTM odour control technology, a removable foam footbed, and Merrell’s signature Air Cushion to ensure you get bang for your buck.

VandyThePink x Salomon Speedcross 3

Hot off the blogs, the VandyThePink x Salomon Speedcross 3 takes the humble cheeseburger as inspiration. Keeping in line with one of VandyThePink’s favourite motifs, the cheeseburger colour scheme arrives in the form of a cheese yellow to beef brown gradient, with the white mesh upper bringing us back down to earth (we’ll pretend it’s the burger packaging.) Ketchup red hits the heavy-tread outsole, whilst a dark green lettuce sock lining ties the pair together alongside a co-branded VandyThePink x Salomon tongue.

BUY

Nike Air Max SNDR

The Nike Air Max SNDR refuses to pack its bags – and we’re here for it. The “Obscura” take on the heritage sneaker brings in a perfectly-balanced neutral colour palette for the long winter season ahead, arriving in an off-white, beige, and black combination. Inspired by Nordic winter darkness, where countries in that region experience extended nighttime, the pair live up to the grand backstory, utilising a protective and breathable textile shroud, a protective mudguard, solar particle-inspired graphic patterning, as well as reflective rubber overlays and a striking black Swoosh lateral panel logo.

BUY

CLOT x adidas Gazelle OG

CLOT’s underrated position in the culture could be under threat if they continue at this pace, firing on all cylinders for the new adidas Gazelle OG. It’s classy, it can be dressed up, and it still stands right next to adidas’ Gazelle roots, making sure their signature pearl texture stays front and centre.
