Over the last few months, it’s safe to say that the French footwear brand has certainly become a staple for many especially those who have taken an interest in the Gorpcore trend, especially with its signature XT-6 models. 

But this season, the brand is kicking things up a notch by infusing the masculine trend with something a little more feminine. For its second drop in its ongoing partnership, Salomon has partnered with Sandy Liang to yield two more advanced designs to add some spunk to your look. 

For starters. the brand has released the RX MJ, an updated version of the previous collaboration’s RX MOC 3.0, that offers a more classic take on your quintessential pair of Mary Janes. The shoes are made of the same feather-light 3D-mesh upper as its predecessor and come with elasticated straps that are reminiscent of traditional ballet slippers. 

Salomon x Sandy Liang will be available for pre-order for S/PLUS members on sg.salomon.com from 15 to 22 July. The collection officially drops online on 25 July and in-store on 27 July

Alternatively, if you prefer something a little more coquette, you’ll love the designer’s revamped Salomon Speedcross 3 sneaker. Chunky and utilitarian, this sneaker also features extra-long ribbon laces in place of your conventional laces, that are anchored by bespoke metal eyelets.

Sneaker hybrids are quickly gaining popularity and Salomon has quickly jumped on the bandwagon with the release of its other collaboration with Maison Margiela. First announced earlier this year, the brand has officially launched its long-awaited MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon XT-4 Mules. Transformed into a slip-on style, these shoes embody MM6’s distinctive design elements while retaining their technical sneaker qualities.

Los Angeles-based label Carrots by Anwar Carrots has teamed up with Puma for a summer collaboration. Aside from its vibrant apparel, the collection also sees a reworked version of Puma’s Suede XL and 180 silhouettes. The former is a vibrant choice, completely enveloped in a textured orange hue and highlighted with bright green laces, and in contrast, the 180s feature a sleek black Cordura colour scheme, a distinctive PUMA badge on the tongue, and an eye-catching orange Carrots badge.

In the summer, Nike celebrated its 50th anniversary by collaborating with Jacquemus for the first time ever to launch its collection of apparel and footwear. Versatile and super functional, you could say that the collection is a force to be reckoned with. Bringing allure to tennis-ready activewear, the designs will see elevated designs that bridge Parisian fashion with the future of the sport.  Aside from its stunning colour palette, we can’t help but also gush about its waffle-like outsole that makes these sneakers stand out from the rest.

New Balance is showing no signs of slowing when it comes to its collaborations. From teaming up with Jaden Smith to WTAPS, the Boston-based brand is now joining forces with Stone Island – the first time since 2013 that the two brands have worked together. Founded in 1982, Stone Island was first introduced by Italian designer Massimo Osti and is best-known for its garment-dyed, military-inspired outerwear. Previously, the brand has also collaborated with other sportswear giants including Nike and Supreme.

Across the collection, you can expect Stone Island’s signature garment-dye technique across the collaboration, alongside the use of fabrics such as Dyneema, the strongest material on the planet. Of course, with this in mind, you can definitely look forward to some of the most durable sneakers in the market.

Here, the first chapter of the long-term collaboration will see an update on New Balance’s RC_ELITE, with the sneaker sporting a more heritage-inspired design. Using the updated hyper-light FuelCell technology and the carbon fibre plate, the midsole allows you to run faster thanks to its propulsive transition and 360-degree functionality.

If you love all things denim, then you’d definitely dig this collab with New Balance and Levi’s. Yes you read that right. The two powerhouses are teaming up to release a denim-inspired collection and it’s everything you could have ever dreamed of. Combining the rich legacy of these two American brands, here, you can expect two beautiful colourways — with the first being a predominantly blue pair and an “Elephant” iteration sporting the same detailed upper in a darker tone. Levi’s is no stranger to collaborating with New Balance, having previously worked on the 1300 and 327. The 990v3, however, likely serves as the brand’s best New Balance yet, and it should prove to be rather difficult to secure once it drops.
