Saucony made a splash in the footwear sphere in 2022 by tapping up-and-coming streetwear imprints Maybe Tomorrow and TOMBOGO to give them a shot at their first sneaker collaborations. The latter impressed sneaker aficionados with a TOMBOGO x Saucony The Butterfly silhouette — an interchangeable slip-on that further added to the hype surrounding clogs. And after debuting in a lighter gray colorway last Summer, the model has now been teased in a brand new green colorway that bears glow-in-the-dark capabilities.The futuristic kicks alternate between various shades of green. The exoskeleton — which features abstract cut-outs across the toe boxes, forefoot and heels — is shaded in a pastel green hue and comes stamped with TOMBOGO branding on the lateral heel. When charged up by sunlight and placed in a dimly lit environment, this layer glows with neon green fluorescence. Inside, the removable bootie contrasts with an olive green neoprene and features gray trim around the collars.No official release information has been announced just yet, but TOMBOGO has confirmed that these will be a limited edition release in the coming months. Peep a first look at the pair in the gallery above.Elsewhere in sneakers, Frank Cooke recently dropped a Saucony Jazz 81 collaboration that was limited to 750 pairs.

BOOST is a fundamental part of adidas’ identity, kitting out everything from the UltraBOOST and YEEZY 350 BOOST to more obscure pairs such as the ZX 2K BOOST, the NMD family, and BOOST-filled slides. Now, the Three Stripes applies its familiar cushioning technology to a new style, dubbed the Xare.Coming in go-to colorways of “Core Black” and “Footwear White,” the new silhouette draws heavily from adidas’ running archive — specifically looking at styles from the 2000s. During this time, adidas’ offerings were less chunky than what came in the ’90s, opting for lightweight and sleek touches that were often accented with details that added bulk.For the Xare BOOST, adidas utilizes a streamlined mesh body before equipping it with synthetic overlays. Working the toe bumper, mid-panel, and heel, wavy shapes create sculptural moments all over the upper, leading the eye to signatures such as tonal Three Stripes on the mids while intriguing elements like asymmetrical stitching on the heel keep things current.Rounding off the Xare is contrasting branding on the tongue, appearing in orange on the black colorway and silver on the white offering, with further hits of color decorating the interior.Take a look at the new adidas Xare BOOST above, and pick up both pairs now from retailers like Footpatrol for £150 GBP (approx. $178 USD).In other news, the unreleased YEEZY 450 Slide has been teased once again.
