Shop the best sneaker releases on the market, as well as upcoming sneaker drops, below.
On Cloudnova Moon
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Fresh off its high-profile push with Zendaya, On continues to sharpen its lifestyle credentials with the Cloudnova Moon. Lightweight, minimal, and quietly polished, it’s the kind of sneaker that fits just as easily into a commute as it does a more curated, off-duty look.
ASICS Gel-NYC 2.0
Release Date: April 16
Editor's Notes: The GEL-NYC 2.0 plays into ASICS’ archive, channeling early-2000s running aesthetics with a more considered, everyday finish. It’s familiar territory for the brand, but still one of the easiest ways to tap into the tech-runner look without overthinking it.
adidas Hyperboost Edge Running Shoes
Release Date: April 17
Editor's Notes: adidas leans fully into performance with the Hyperboost Edge, no gimmicks, just tech. Built for responsiveness and energy return, this is one for people who actually run… or at least want to look like they do. Sleek, sharp, and just futuristic enough to turn heads on concrete.
Nike Shox Z Calistra x LABELHOOD
Release Date: April 15
Editor's Notes: Nike links up with Shanghai-based LABELHOOD to rework the Shox Z Calistra, leaning into the silhouette’s experimental edge. The pair stands out with layered textures, bold color contrasts, and those unmistakable Shox columns at the heel. It’s a directional take on a Y2K icon, equal parts performance relic and fashion statement.
New Balance 1890
Release Date: April 16
Editor's Notes: New Balance stays in its lane, and frankly, it’s working. The 1890 doesn’t shout, it doesn’t chase trends, and it doesn’t need to. Premium materials, balanced proportions, and that signature “effortlessly put-together” energy are doing all the talking.
Vans OTW Slip-On 98 Knot Vibram
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: A classic, but tougher. Vans reworks its Slip-On with a Vibram sole and subtle detailing that nudges it out of skatepark territory and into everyday staple status.
Salomon ACS Pro
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: By now, the ACS Pro is less of a trend and more of a fixture. Salomon’s trail DNA continues to dominate the streets, and for good reason: it’s technical, breathable, and built like it actually has a purpose. With its function first approach, the fact it looks this good is just a bonus.
