New Balance 204L ‘Mushroom & Arid Stone’ (U204LMMA)

A refined take on NB’s lifestyle lineup, the 204L in ‘Mushroom & Arid Stone’ blends vintage running DNA with everyday versatility. Its layered upper pairs earthy suede and neutral tones for a subdued yet sophisticated palette that works as easily with chinos as with denim. Tonal branding and curved paneling give depth and subtle style, while the low-profile shape and cushioned EVA midsole deliver light, comfortable all-day wear. Designed for understated fit-and-finish rather than loud flash, this colourway stands out through quiet craftsmanship and natural hues.

ASICS GEL-NYC ‘Barely Rose’ (1203A383-028)

A fresh take on ASICS’ modern-retro lifestyle runner, the GEL-NYC ‘Barely Rose’ blends early-2000s performance cues with everyday wearability. Built off a mesh base with layered suede and leather overlays, this colourway pairs soft Barely Rose pink accents with neutral Concrete tones for a subtle yet standout look. The signature GEL cushioning and textured tooling deliver lightweight comfort and traction, making it ideal for daily rotation with utility and style. Scheduled for early 2026, this iteration leans into muted pastels without sacrificing the GEL-NYC’s classic hybrid aesthetic.

CLOT x adidas Superstar Dress ‘Cow Print’ (JS5024)

A bold hybrid that completely re-conceives the iconic Superstar through CLOT founder Edison Chen’s lens – this Cow Print take on the Superstar Dress blends formalwear cues with street heritage. The cream leather shell toe anchors the design, while hairy faux-cow panels in off-white, brown and black wrap the sidewalls for standout texture and pattern. Traditional Three Stripes are stitched subtly into the upper, and cream laces with tassel details nod to classic dress shoes. Underfoot, a loafer-inspired stacked sole and low heel contrast the silhouette’s athletic roots, turning the sneaker into a fashion-forward crossover piece. Expected Spring 2026 release with luxe, statement-making vibes.

A nature-infused take on the cult classic 992 silhouette, the M992 ‘Bembury Green’ sees Salehe Bembury bring his signature outdoors-meets-street design ethos to New Balance’s premium Made in USA platform. The upper blends lush green and blue shaggy suede with layered textures that nod to both forest tones and water-inspired accents, grounded by cork detailing and thematic touches that reflect Bembury’s material-first approach. Underfoot, the 992’s famed ENCAP/ABZORB cushioning ensures all-day comfort and stability, making this collab both a wearable daily runner and a standout piece in any collection.
