Givenchy’s Matthew M. Williams has just teased a brand-new sneaker and it was seen IRL for the first time yesterday at Paris Fashion Week.The Paris-based fashion house has been keeping busy as of late. For example, the label recently collaborated with Disney to celebrate 100 years in film and it has also just unveiled its new Spring/Summer 2023 campaign — another project led by Williams — that featured the multi-talented Jamaican artist, Alkaline.Now, Givenchy’s creative director has taken to Instagram to tease the brand’s new sneaker: the TK-MX — and it’s set to be a part of Givenchy’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection. The shoe leans into a similar design seen on the imprint’s TK-360 silhouette and comes in two colorways. The first is an understated all-black version, while the second experiments with a more vibrant snakeskin approach.However, both sneakers are designed with Givenchy’s customary lettering and emblems on the tongue, rear sole, and midfoot areas of the shoe. Furthermore, an additional logo is also intricately stitched into the lateral side, and to round things off, reflective detailing is applied to the midsoles and textured uppers.You can take a closer look at the TK-MX sneakers above and in other footwear Paris Fashion Week news, take a look at Wales Bonner’s FW23 collection.

Following a fresh green-and-purple take on the 990v3, New Balance revisits the original silhouette with a 990v1 “MADE in USA” dressed in tan and green hits.Currently led by Aimé Leon Dore’s Teddy Santis, the New Balance Made in USA collection has been designed with authentic American craftsmanship for over 75 years — each piece containing a domestic value of 70 percent or more. First introduced in 1982, the upcoming 990v1 pairs incorporate rustic hues of tan, green, and burnt yellow across a mix of mesh, suede, and leather. Details include special “Made in U.S.A.” denoted tongue tabs, rubber heel counter attachments, and two-tone midsoles featuring black rubber outsoles.Take a closer look at the New Balance 990 “MADE in USA” above and expect the pairs to arrive in the coming weeks via New Balance and select retailers.Elsewhere in footwear, New Balance 550 surfaces in “Pine Green.”
