PAUSE Picks: Top Sneaker Releases of the Week

You need to get familiar with ALO’s footwear, ASAP. The latest instalment in the activewear brand’s exciting footwear journey sees the ALO Trail come to light, stepping forward in a tonal “Gravel” colourway. The robust yet subtle entry sees ALO champion unisex styling, unveiling a silhouette that, as you might expect, looks to the hiking trail for inspiration. Bridging the gap between performance and stylish wearability, ALO’s Trail sneaker was designed with off-the-grid movement in mind, utilising a lightweight nylon upper constructed with water-resistant materials as well as action-ready features like a stabilising heel clip, a moulded TPU toe cap, and a heavy-duty midsole compound for solid stability and support. Getting you ready for anything those rugged terrains – and coffee runs – have to throw at you, the ALO Trail is well worth your time and money.

Nike’s oldest silhouette, brought into 2026. Nike’s Moon shoe is back and, honestly, better than ever. This summer-ready “Soft Yellow” edition is without doubt the standout, leaving us with a soft spot of our own. Energising the heritage silhouette, the newest instalment follows on from Jacquemus’ recent tasteful rendition through a muted and chic all-over tone of butter yellow, with subtle overlays of darkened suede adding that much-needed texture. Some doses of signature Nike branding hit the midfoot, heel, and tongue, whilst a black outsole keeps the pair squeaky clean. Cop now, before it’s too late…

Haven’t heard about these? Time to come out of that rock you’ve been living under. The Vans OTW x Satoshi Nakamoto Era 95 “Lucky Charm/Black” literally caused fights to break out on the streets of NYC, so good luck getting your hands on these. Still, it’s most definitely worth a try.

Thank the powers that be that the adidas F50 Taekwondo is making its due comeback. This “Tiger Yellow” iteration makes us nostalgic in the best way possible. Hit.

Keep the Mary Janes coming, that’s what we say. Of course, Salomon had to have their say as well, with this RX Marie-Jeanne being just the ticket this week. Ladies, you’ve got to get “Icy Pink” with these, they’re going to be a sell-out.
