Name: PUMA CELL GEO 1 “Galactic Dust/Loden”Colorway: Galactic Dust/LodenSKU: 405336-08MSRP: ¥25,300 JPY (approx. $161 USD)Release Date: November 1Where to Buy: PUMAPUMA continues to push its archival CELL technology into more sculptural territory with the latest CELL GEO 1, arriving in a single “Galactic Dust/Loden” colorway. The chunky runner comes dressed in a muted mix of dusty brown, taupe and mossy olive tones, giving its technical construction a distinctly earthy finish. The upper combines textile with layered leather panels, shifting between smoother surfaces and more tactile textures to emphasize the model’s exaggerated geometry. Darker Loden accents run through the overlays and branding, while tonal laces keep the palette cohesive rather than introducing sharp contrast.Much of the CELL GEO 1’s visual weight sits at the heel, where a pronounced ridged structure gives the sneaker its architectural profile and frames PUMA’s CELL cushioning technology. The bulky rear construction is balanced by a more streamlined forefoot, while a segmented rubber outsole and layered sidewalls reinforce its late-’90s running DNA. Originally developed as one of PUMA’s defining cushioning systems of the era, CELL is reinterpreted here through a more contemporary, fashion-oriented silhouette that places as much emphasis on texture and form as on performance heritage.

Name: L’Art de L’Automobile x Salomon XT-QUEST 2Colorway: “Olive”SKU: TBCMSRP: TBCRelease Date: October 28Where to Buy: L’Art de L’Automobile, Salomon JPL’Art de L’Automobile and Salomon are shifting their long-running fascination with speed toward the people who keep cars moving. First-look photos shared by L’Art de L’Automobile reveals a new collaborative XT-QUEST 2, conceived around the idea of “Mechanic Walking Shoes” and dressed in a single muted olive and black treatment. The upper leans into the model’s hiking heritage with olive nubuck and textured panels, reinforced by an oversized black toe cap that wraps around the forefoot for a tougher, workwear-like finish. Tonal stitching keeps the build understated, while polished silver hardware and multicolored rope laces introduce flashes of metallic shine and color against the otherwise utilitarian palette.The detailing becomes more automotive on closer inspection. A circular car graphic is embossed near the heel, while white L’ART lettering appears across the tongue and Salomon branding sits against the black forefoot guard. Underfoot, the XT-QUEST 2 retains its substantial trail-ready construction, combining a stability-focused bottom unit with a deeply lugged outsole; brown-to-olive marbling along the midsole adds a weathered, almost oil-stained effect that suits the garage-inspired concept.

Name: Nike Air Max 90 “Light Orewood Brown”Colorway: Light Orewood Brown/Blue Tint-Sail-Neutral OliveSKU: IX8056-104MSRP: $145 USDRelease Date: November 1Where to Buy: NikeNike is giving the Air Max 90 a material-driven makeover with the “Light Orewood Brown” colorway, pairing translucent overlays with high-gloss patent leather. The palette stays deliberately muted, sticking mostly to Light Orewood Brown and Sail so that texture and transparency become the main event. The result is a quiet take on Tinker Hatfield’s runner that rewards a closer look.The upper is built in layers that play off one another. Textured mesh forms the base across the toe box and collar, while translucent panels sweep along the sidewalls and frame the lacing system, letting the mesh show through from beneath. Down low, the mudguards are finished in glossy beige patent leather, adding shine and contrast without breaking from the tonal color scheme.Nike carries the see-through concept into the branding as well. The tongue labels and heel tabs are rendered in the same clear material, so the logos underneath remain visible through a glassy top layer. Cream laces and a matching lining keep the interior and lacing in step with the exterior, while a tonal midsole houses the silhouette’s signature visible Air unit in the heel.Underfoot, a semi-translucent outsole continues the theme from top to bottom. The standout accessory is a metallic Swoosh hangtag clipped to the laces, engraved with an intricate pattern that is echoed on the printed insoles. That artwork links the pair to a wider set of releases, with forthcoming Air Max 95 and Air Force 1 styles set to carry the same engraved motif alongside their own patent leather and translucent details.
