In the world of footwear, there are timeless kicks and statement pieces. The Y-3 Runner adidas 4D Halo is firmly in the latter camp.Continuing its 20th anniversary celebration, which amongst many drops has seen a collaborative shirt with Real Madrid and a collection with Palace, Yohji Yamamoto and adidas strike a balance with another shoe that carries universal appeal with an artistic polyurethane heel cage. As with past iterations, the runner rests on adidas’ 4D midsole and a Continental rubber outsole.Additional highlights include a black PRIMEKNIT upper with leather and suede overlays, along with a debossed Y-3 branding on the tongue and suede lining at the heel.Emblematic of Y-3, the shoe imbues traditional Japanese design sensibilities with the sportswear brand’s latest technology.

Vibram can elevate virtually any shoe — from the most outlandish styles to classic silhouettes that will withstand the test of time. Danner’s latest Chelsea Boot is no exception.The Arctic 600 blends comfort and durability in a sleek package that is well-suited for the frigid months ahead. What’s most immediately noticeable is the yellow logo that hints at the boot’s sturdy but comfy Vibram SPE midsole and Nisqually Arctic Grip outsole that will provide sturdy traction on snow and ice. Other notable features include the boot’s durable black suede upper, 200G PrimaLoft® insulation and Danner’s Dry waterproof protection. Danner warns potential buyers, however, that Arctic Grip and Arctic Grip A.T. technology “is not intended for use on, and may harm, indoor surfaces”, as this boot is clearly built for hiking purposes.The Danner Arctic 600 Chelsea Boot is available to purchase for $220 USD online and select retailers.
