Lovely trainers from the furthest reaches, all in one place
So many new sneakers are unleashed upon the world every single week. That makes sneaker shopping a proper chore. You're confused.
And, that's OK! Because GQ is rounding up the world's greatest sneaker drops this week, and every week, to keep you ahead of the curve.
From the latest collaborations from Adidas and Nike, to limited edition New Balance trainers that are made for actually running, this feature is the ultimate guide to finding your next grail.
If you’re still not sated after this lot, be sure to take a look at some of the best sneakers of 2023, or check out what's in-store for 2024.
Mizuno MXR Sport ‘Snow White’
Mizuno just dropped a new silhouette. And while the Japanese sportswear brand's shoes already lean more on the old school side, the MXR Sport is probably its dad shoe-iest pair yet.
Stüssy X Nike LD -1000 ‘Action Green’
The LD-1000 is one of Nike's oldest running shoes, and this week, it's getting Stüssy-fied in a very vibrant ‘Action Green’ colour scheme.
Check out that embroidered Swoosh across the sides, and the custom tongue tag that was designed exclusively for this collab.
Kiko Kostadinov X Asics Gel-Flammae ‘Blue’
Kiko Kostadinov and Asics have been working together for a hot minute now. And the acclaimed Bulgarian designer now has another silhouette up his sleeve with the Gel-Flammae.
This is the first colourway to hit the retro-inspired model, and it won't be the last either.
Salomon ACS+ ‘Heritage Pack’
What's the best way to describe this Salomon ACS+? Well, it's essentially a brand new shoe that's inspired by colourways from deep within the French sportswear company's archives. Très bien!
End X Saucony Triumph 4 ‘Nessie’
The End x Saucony Triumph 4 is a bit of a beast. Why? Because it gets its unique aquamarine colour palette from Scotland's very own Loch Ness Monster, that's why.
New Balance 990v6 ‘Purple’
Compared to a lot of other New Balance shoes, the 990v6 hasn't really been around for long. That said, that hasn't stopped it from becoming a firm fave among NB boys. And now, it's been given a fresh lick of paint for summer.
Nike Air Max Sunder ‘Canyon Gold’
It only took a quarter of a century, but the Nike Air Max Sunder is finally here again. First introduced all the way back in '99, the zippy model is re-releasing just in time for its big 25th bday – and it looks just like it did back in the day.
Berluti Skyrunning ‘Nightfall’
Berluti isn't really known for its trainers, but the new Skyrunning silhouette is a good step in. Made in Italy from calfskin leather and suede, it all rests on top of a chunky Vibram sole.
Burberry Check Terrace ‘Sand’
Daniel Lee just revealed a sleek, new Burberry sneak. Inspired by retro tennis shoes, he's wrapped it in canvas and mesh and leather. They come in three other colourways, but the British house's classic plaid pattern is probably your best bet.
Adidas Taekwondo ‘Core Black’
The Adidas Taekwondo is basically the Samba but a lot sleeker. It's made from leather and it's lined with gum rubber. Also, the slip-on design means you won't have to deal with any annoying laces, which is nice.
