As its name suggests, Danish label RAINS is all about the outdoors. The brand often embraces our planet’s gloomy weather and did so on its Spring/Summer 2024 runway at Paris Fashion Week. While the clothing supplied structural versions of its trademark rainwear, we kept our eyes glued below. RAINS presented new collaborative footwear with Zellerfeld for SS24, initially teased last season and available now. RAINS’ swollen outerwear inspires the Puffer Sneaker, delivering a sculptural masterpiece for your feet. The made-to-order 3D-printed shoe keeps your unique measurements in mind, allowing for custom fit, width, and comfort. RAINS and Zellerfeld’s Puffer Sneaker is made from fully-recyclable TPU materials as printing machines fill it with air to achieve an indented figure. Puffer jacket-inspired bumps are inflamed up top, while the medials boast curved markings. Finally, blended soles receive a lattice-like finish featuring grip-enhancing outsoles. Take a closer look at RAINS and Zellerfeld’s Puffer Sneaker collaboration in the gallery above. It is available to order in “Red,” “Oat,” and “Blue” colorways for $260 USD via Zellerfeld’s website.

For decades, the Air Max line has led Nike’s lifestyle offerings as a go-to for both performance and style. Spearheading this innovation-backed part of the Swoosh, the original Air Max 1 is more popular than ever and Nike continues to capitalize on this with its plethora of colorways released so far this year. Recently, this has included a Puerto Rican-themed “Orange Frost” and its own slide variant.Now, Nike’s signature “Volt” hue — an electric green — has returned to the classic silhouette. This time around, the bold color is joined by similarly-bright shades from the collar to its midsole. The synthetic base features white at both the toe and throat while a sandy brown appears at the upper’s overlays. Bringing its signature “Volt” flair into the mix, the shoe features the eye-catching color at the Swooshes and mudguard in suede. In addition to this, it appears at the tongue, sockliner and heel branding. Rounding out the sneaker, the Air-infused sole unit combines a white midsole with a mostly-black rubber outsole.At the time of writing, Nike has not announced any release info regarding the Air Max 1 “Volt Suede.” Stay tuned for updates regarding its launch as it’s currently anticipated to land on shelves in the coming months via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a $140 USD price point in women’s sizing.Looking for more of the latest news from the always-moving footwear industry?
