Cayl x New Balance 1906RCY

Release Date: Aug 23

Editor's Notes: Ripstop and New Balance's 1906 are a perfect match, especially when Cayl is involved. This new collaboration comes detailed with a durable upper and toggle laces.

ASICS UB7-S GT-2160

Release Date: Aug 23

Editor's Notes: With colorways like this, I'd argue we should start a petition to have monthly ASICS releases designed by the Kiko Kostadinov Studio.

The 2-piece drop sees the designer's team take on the GT-2160 for a second time, embedding the sneaker with Mino ceramic influences.

Skepta x PUMA Skope Forever "Black Ice"

Release Date: Aug 24

Editor's Notes: It's been a few months since the debut release, but Skepta and PUMA are back with a new iteration of the Skop Forever.

The updated pair arrives in a "Black Ice" colorway with a translucent sole and embroidered logos.

Nike Clogposite

Release Date: Aug 22

Editor's Notes: First released in the early 2000s and later rereleased in 2014, Nike's Clogposite has remained a hidden gem in the brand's archives.

CLOT x adidas Gazelle

Release Date: Aug 22

Editor's Notes: If there were an award for the most relaxed-looking sneaker, CLOT and adidas would surely be strong candidates.

Edison Chen chimes in for a new drop of his espadrille-inspired sneaker featuring beaded Three Stripes along the quarter.

Nike Air Jordan 4 "White Thunder"

Release Date: Aug 24

Editor's Notes: Sometimes, simple colorways are the best. This new iteration of a classic silhouette is finished in a simple but very effective monochrome colorway.
