Year: 2023

adidas is continuing its year-long celebration of Disney’s 100th anniversary with the release of an all-new vegan leather Samba duo. Earlier this year, the imprint debuted honorable UltraBOOST 1.0s to mark the occasion and now extends festivities by bringing everyone’s favorite mouse couple to the low-top Samba silhouette. Mickey Mouse’s tribute rendition receives an all-white vegan leather base that wraps the sneaker. Gilded “SAMBA” lettering hits the medials above classic Three Stripes markings, while the heels see Mickey’s gloved hand form a heart shape on either side. The cartoon character stands strong on the leather tongues, inserting a cheeky grin into standard adidas branding. Minnie Mouse delivers increased dashes of color, inserting red touches that reflect her vibrant attire. Her shoe is equally enveloped in vegan white leather, and features tinted medial decorations, model-specific motifs, and red adidas tongue prints. Finally, Minnie’s hand complements the heel counters in heart formation accented by her polka-dotted bows. Take a closer look at Mickey and Minnie Mouse’s vegan leather adidas Samba in the gallery above. Both shoes are set to release on April 27 for $100. Elsewhere, adidas gives tts Puffylette a “Beam Orange” makeover.

New Balance and eYe Junya Watanabe MAN have come together for a collaboratives pair of the classic hiking shoe, the New Balance Rainier. The silhouette was first unveiled at Paris Fashion Week Men’s runway in June 2022. The shoe is meant for the everyday outdoor adventurer and is a keen reminder of the origins of the shoe. The Rainier was created by Lou Whittaker who wanted to find a comfortable alternative to the chunky hiking boot. The collaboration sees the Rainier silhouette constructed in an upper made with premium nubuck and Cordura nylon in a sophisticated beige colorway. The shoe features adjustable lace-up fastening and accented contrast stitching. The insoles and heels are branded, while a Vibram outsole is used for added stability and comfort for the hiking shoe. The shoe is now available at DSM and is set to arrive in other select retailers and online at New Balance on April 21.In case you missed it, here are the official images of the Air Jordan 3 “Wizards.”

adidas is continuing to push fresh iterations of its cozy Puffylette silhouette and the style is soon to be available in a vibrant “Beam Orange” colorway.Since adidas presented its Puffylette in the introductory black and white colorway, the footwear specialist has been quite particular with new colorways and styles. We’ve seen new versions come in “Camo,” as well as the well-received “Fake Printed” pack, however, the drops have been few and far between and now the new “Beam Orange” colorway looks to revive the silhouette’s momentum. When first meeting the eye, adidas’ Puffylette shows close similarities to The North Face‘s Thermoball Mules due to the cozy padding that is often seen throughout the colder moments of the year. Hues of bright “Beam Orange” have been coated throughout the design, while the comfortable interior fleece liners are hit with the same bright tone. The heel tabs and sole units are then treated with customary adidas branding, while further adidas motifs can be spotted atop the lateral sides of the midsole and footbeds.You can take a closer look at the new adidas Puffylette “Beam Orange” above and it will be available to shop from April 18 via the official adidas website.In other footwear news, check out the new Nike Air Force 1 “Four Horsemen.”
