The world of sneakers? Constantly in motion. For several seasons now, they have been the ultimate expression with which to experiment with new collaborations, new combinations, and new material pairings. An obsession and a passion for many, we are certain that, even during this unusual Christmas, they will occupy a prominent place under many trees. Especially because during the holiday period, special editions are released, limited editions that are highly coveted by addicts and more. Here are some suggestions to gift and treat yourself to.

Saucony Originals and White Mountaineering

It may be one of the latest collaborations of the year, but no less promising. This is how the brand designed by Japanese stylist Aizawa has reinterpreted a Saucony classic, the Grid Web model, with a high, irregular sole and a slightly oversized shape. Two color options are available, with the black and white version, in perfect White Mountaineering style, almost a nod to pop-art being our favorite.

Fila

The new Fila sneaker, named Tailer, is inspired by the outdoors, providing a strong visual impact combined with excellent performance and maximum comfort. The shoes feature a layered upper in leather, suede, and eco-leather. The interior is made of fabric to ensure unbeatable comfort. There is also a women’s version available.

Onitsuka Tiger

For Christmas 2020, Onitsuka Tiger has introduced some of its iconic pieces in velvet. The Lawnship 3.0 trainer, originally developed in 1974 as a classic tennis shoe, is now adorned with Japanese green velvet with a shiny finish that offers a soft and elegant feel – the quilted pattern giving a sophisticated touch to the sporty sneakers. The added detail? The insole is imprinted with the traditional Onitsuka Tiger logo and the inscription Happy Holidays for a festive touch.

Converse

Starting this Christmas, the Chuck 70 sneakers have an extra reason to be worn: the Fair Isle print inspired by holiday sweaters is the ultimate highlight. Beyond aesthetics, this holiday model comes with improved cushioning and reinforced stitching with a strengthened tongue.

Reebok

Brand new. Launched on the market on December 15, the latest Reebok sneaker is a statement piece. The model, named [REE]Cycled Classic Leather Legacy – which also includes the Legacy 83 version – is made with up to 30% recycled materials in the uppers, a step towards creating a more sustainable future. The design of the sneakers is an ode to the sense of community, where diverse backgrounds, individualities, and different perspectives contribute to forming the uniqueness of a community.

New Balance

The latest offering from New Balance is the X-Racer Utility, whose design is inspired by the aesthetics of trail running shoes. The synthetic leather and mesh upper ensures durability, comfort, and a utilitarian style. The rope laces evoke a trail style, while the iconic side N is overlaid for a fresh look. With ABZORB midsole for exceptional cushioning and an outdoor-inspired sole for greater traction, the silhouette offers an elegant and versatile aesthetic for the modern urban explorer.

Vans and Baracuta

If you appreciate English style and wear the timeless G9 jacket, then these sneakers are a must-have. The tartan pattern from the British brand Baracuta adorns the side of the Old Skool VLT LX in contrast with the midnight blue leather upper. The sneaker is a result of the collaboration between Vault by Vans and the British brand Baracuta, working together for an exclusive collection of footwear and clothing.

Philippe Model Paris

A contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic Paris, the new sneaker PRSX (ParisX) features the trademark wrapped sole patented by the brand, manually dirtied to give the trainer a lived-in look, embellished with flat studs on the back. The authenticity is tied to the shield sewn on the shoe’s side and the PM78 inscription. Made of fluorescent yellow nylon with a contrasting blue suede back insert, Philippe Model Paris uses only materials and leathers of Italian origin. All in the name of Made with care in Italy.
