What do mesh-heavy Marc Jacobs runners, FENTY football kicks, and ramen-slurping monkey heels have in common? They're all part of this week's most unhinged (and undeniably exciting) sneaker drops. Whether you're into quietly tonal Air Force 1s or denim-draped Jordans, there's something for every level of sneakerhead chaos. Let’s get into it.
Marc Jacobs brings all-new 72 Spring Sneaker
Not typically known for running shoes, Marc Jacobs swerves into tech-runner territory with the 72 Spring Sneaker, a slim, frenetic take on the vintage sneaker wave. Designed with studio Areté—frequent collaborators of Raf Simons and Stone Island—the silhouette arrives in a flurry of colourways (including fuchsia/green and distressed denim) and a mesh-heavy, multilayered upper. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. And it’s retailing at $225 USD.
COMET x Naru: India’s First Sneaker-Food Collab
Only in Bangalore could a sneaker feature a chopstick holder and still look this clean. The COMET x Naru marks a historic first for Indian streetwear, with just 400 pairs on offer. Design cues include Naru’s embroidered logo, a ramen-slurping monkey on the heel, and cheeky hidden messages like “Uzumaki” stitched beneath the tabs. Priced at ₹5,899 and dropping August 2nd, this is more than a flex—it’s a cultural collectible.
Bad Bunny x adidas "The Archive" Exhibit
Benito isn’t just collaborating anymore—he’s curating. adidas unveiled The Archive in Puerto Rico this week, a sneaker museum-slash-exhibit showcasing 150 unreleased Bad Bunny shoes. Expect reworks of the Adiracer (including an AMG-PETRONAS tie-in), new Gazelle colourways tied to Vega Baja, and Yeezy-adjacent hikers like the Caverunner. There’s even a redesigned GSG9 boot. No, you can’t buy them. Yes, you’ll be thinking about them anyway.
New FENTY x PUMA Avanti Pack Incoming
Rihanna’s FENTY label continues its heritage-infused streak with the Avanti and Avanti LS. Think luxury football boots with a fashion edge: fold-over tongues, translucent heels, and a palette ranging from utilitarian black to a soft plum.
Nike Air Force 1 Goes “College Grey”
This all-grey Air Force 1 Low is what happens when restraint meets perfectionism. Premium leather, tonal laces, and that rubber outsole all coalesce into a sneaker that whispers “clean” without trying too hard. It’s not reinventing anything. It’s just doing what AF1s do best—look timeless.
Air Jordan 4 “Denim” To Drop In August
Jordan Brand is stitching up the streets with the Air Jordan 4 “Denim”, set to drop August 9th. Built in two-tone denim and packaged in a special denim box, the pair includes golden “Jordan Family” dubrae for extra flare.
Wolverine x Crocs Brings The ‘X’ Factor
Yes, this is real. Crocs and Marvel have teamed up for a Wolverine Classic Clog, complete with claw slashes, removable silver Jibbitz, and enough yellow-blue nostalgia to trigger your Saturday morning cartoon memories. This one’s unapologetically ridiculous.
Nike Gives Ja Morant the Glow-Up Treatment
The Ja 3 Light Show lives up to its name with iridescent finishes, neon hits, and icy soles. Whether you’re hooping or just flexing on the timeline, this is Ja in full showman mode.
Nike SB Hijacks the Air Max 95 and Makes It Skateable
If the Air Max 95 spent a summer with skaters and came back tougher, this would be it. Reinforced panels, beefed-up grip, and a no-nonsense colour palette make this hybrid weirdly wearable.
Sugar Rush Meets Streetwear in Crocs x Krispy Kreme
Drizzled uppers. Sprinkle-studded soles. This Crocs drop channels dessert energy and leans hard into meme-core. You probably won’t wear them outside—but you’ll never forget them.
FENTY x PUMA Keeps the Vintage Football Vibe Alive
Rihanna’s back with two new Avantis that walk the line between sports nostalgia and luxe materials. With rich plum tones and translucent details, these might be her most wearable pairs yet.
Nike’s Air Max Muse Pays Homage to Bruce Lee
Subtle dragon-scale textures. Yellow-and-black colourblocking. Clean AF silhouette. This Bruce Lee tribute doesn’t scream; it whispers legend. Expect fast sellouts and no second chances.
Adidas Turns Football Third Kits Into Gazelle Gold
Adidas’ 25/26 third kits for Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool now have matching Gazelles. Streetwear meets sport heritage in the most wearable way possible. Finally, something good from football merch.
Jordan 40 Arrives with a History Lesson in Sole Form
Meet The Classic, the first edition of the Air Jordan 40. It folds together decades of design language into one futuristic silhouette. The energy’s archival, but the shape’s pure 2025. Collectors, don’t sleep.
The Nike Air Max Plus “Hot Fuchsia” Gets Mix Material Treatment
The Nike Air Max Plus “Hot Fuchsia” turns heads with a bold mixed-material makeover, blending mesh, suede, and glossy accents in a vivid, high-impact colourway
