Name: ASICS Utility CollectionMSRP: £125 – £170 GBP (approx. $165 – $225USD)Release Date: Available NowWhere to Buy: ASICSASICS leans into all-weather utility with a three-model Utility Collection, comprising the GEL-KAYANO 20 in “Black/Gunmetal,” GEL-VENTX GTX in a “Carrier Grey/Black” and GEL-NYC 2.0 GTX in “Graphite Grey/Black.” Though each silhouette draws from a different corner of the ASICS archive, the range is unified by dark technical palettes, layered construction and performance-informed detailing.The GEL-VENTX GTX carries the strongest trail influence, building on the GEL-VENTURE lineage with a Carrier Grey/Black finish that layers charcoal mesh and synthetic overlays with lighter grey ASICS Stripes. A GORE-TEX membrane adds weather protection, while rearfoot GEL cushioning and a trail-specific traction pattern reinforce its outdoor-minded character.The GEL-NYC 2.0 GTX “Graphite Grey/Black” takes a more streamlined, city-focused approach, combining references to early-2000s ASICS running design with updated cushioning and support. Its upper mixes graphite grey, black and gunmetal-like tones across densely layered mesh and synthetic panels, creating a monochromatic finish that emphasizes the shoe’s technical construction. A GORE-TEX membrane is joined by a TRUSSTIC support unit, GEL inserts and FF BLAST PLUS cushioning, giving the silhouette a softer, more contemporary ride while maintaining the visual complexity associated with the GEL-NYC family.Rounding out the trio, the GEL-KAYANO 20 “Black/Gunmetal” revisits the 2013 runner with the darkest and most metallic treatment of the collection. Black mesh forms the base beneath a crisscrossing FLUIDFIT TPU cage finished in gunmetal tones, lending the upper a subtle sheen that shifts across its structural overlays. Reflective laces introduce another light-catching element, while dual GEL inserts and a GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC support system retain the model’s stability-focused performance roots.

Name: Nike Air Max Goadome Low “Yellow Croc”Colorway: Vivid Sulfur/BlackSKU: IV4517-700MSRP: $175 USDRelease Date: October 15Where to Buy: NikeNike continues to reshape the rugged Air Max Goadome for lifestyle wear with a new low-top “Yellow Croc” edition, officially dressed in a “Vivid Sulfur/Black” color palette. The upper is almost entirely wrapped in vivid yellow leather embossed with a pronounced crocodile pattern, giving the traditionally utilitarian silhouette a much more polished, statement-driven character.A glossy finish emphasizes the raised scales across the toe box, side panels and heel, while smoother perforated leather around the collar adds a subtle change in texture. Tonal stitching and laces keep the upper visually cohesive, leaving a small black Swoosh near the lateral heel and the dark interior lining to provide the strongest contrast against the saturated yellow.Underfoot, the design shifts abruptly into black through the substantial Air Max midsole, visible cushioning and rubber outsole, grounding the bright upper while preserving the Goadome’s heavy-duty proportions.

JJJJound and New Balance have officially presented the collaborative New Balance MADE in USA 990v3 in suede, revealing the official release date. The upcoming collaboration reimagines the iconic running silhouette through a singular material expression, replacing its standard mesh construction with a premium, all-suede finish.Designed to explore how the heritage running silhouette feels when constructed entirely in suede, the project eliminates traditional mesh underlays to give the sneaker a more elevated character. By substituting the usual mesh base for a full monochromatic suede upper, the release introduces a new material language to the partnership’s ongoing MADE in USA lineup.The monochromatic upper is offset by contrasting black outsoles, trims, and signature branding details, delivering a sharper, more understated profile. Operating at the intersection of luxury materials and athletic heritage, the shoe balances the familiar proportions of a Made in USA performance runner with an elevated design approach.The JJJJound x New Balance MADE in USA 990v3 in suede releases on October 22, 2026, via JJJJound.
