Shop the best sneaker releases on the market, as well as upcoming sneaker drops, below.
Cecile Bahnsen x ASICS Gel-Quantum 360
Release Date: April 24
Editor's Notes: In a clash of styles, Cecilie Bahnsen’s delicate and couture-adjacent universe collides with ASICS’ performance tech, and somehow it just works. The Gel-Quantum 360 is reimagined through a softer lens, pairing a sculptural shape with airy, romantic uppers. Technical footwear, but not as you know it.
Adidas Punstock SPZL
Release Date: April 24
Editor's Notes: Can’t decide between loafers and sneakers? Adidas has already made the call for you. The Punstock SPZL sits somewhere in between, part terrace shoe, part slip-on, entirely versatile. Finished in a soft sand-toned palette, it’s the kind of shoe that quietly works with everything.
New Balance MT10T
Release Date: April 22
Editor's Notes: The MT10T leans into a stripped-back, close-to-the-ground feel. Ultra-light with a barely-there sole, it wears more like a technical slipper than a traditional runner. Minimal, flexible, and built for movement, it’s a quieter take on the whole barefoot-adjacent wave.
Nike ACG LDV
Release Date: April 23
Editor's Notes: Nike digs into its archive to bring back the LDV, a vintage runner reworked with an outdoorsy mindset. It’s rugged without overdoing it, combining classic running DNA with trail-ready detailing that feels right for right now.
Crocs Classic EXP Clog Vibram
Release Date: April 23
Editor's Notes: Yes, this is a Croc with a Vibram sole. The unlikely pairing pushes the classic clog into genuinely technical territory, swapping out comfort-first qualities for something built to grip and last, equal parts functional experiment and statement piece.
Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro "Siempre Mio"
Release Date: April 24
Editor's Notes: And in other news, Nike continues its reworks of a most dependable silhouette, in the form of the “Siempre Mío” edition of the Air Force 1. This update adds storytelling to the formula, with premium finishes and refined details that make the refresh the model without losing what boasted it to staple-status in the first place.
Nike Air Jordan 4
Release Date: April 23
Editor's Notes: Few sneakers need less of an introduction than the Air Jordan 4. This latest release keeps the legacy intact, with a simple but effective color change that lends it a whole new appeal.
