Nike’s new sneaker launches may have everyone talking this week, but we’ve got our eyes on Balenciaga.
The French luxury brand recently unveiled romantic iterations of its Track sneakers for Valentine’s Day, but we bet more people will snag the new Pantone-approved version of the best-selling Triple S kicks.
We can see Kim Kardashian digging them just as much as the Nike Air Max 95, which has now dropped in a unique earthy colorway. Read on to learn more and discover more exciting sneaker releases this week.

Longtime collaborators Nike and Acronym are back, this time with a spotlight on the Blazer Low. With the attention to detail it gives to its technical apparel, Acronym has reworked the cult skater silhouette to include Ghillie laser cutouts, a removable TPU heel clip and nameplates. The two colorways available, ‘Black’ and ‘Night Maroon’, perfectly capture these unconventional characteristics and look great with the collaboration’s tracksuits.

Nike Air Max 95 “Ironstone”
The Nike Air Max 95 is back on everyone’s radar thanks to Kim Kardashian, who boldly ditched her Yeezys for these underrated running shoes. This pair’s connection to nature isn’t just in its name or hue; shoes are made from natural hemp and other similar sustainable materials. The neutral, earthy palette also brilliantly brings out the canyon-inspired ridged pattern that is unique to the Air Max 95.

Nike Air Trainer 1 “Coriander”
When: February 11th
Nike brought back another Tinker Hatfield design, but with a twist. Although originally designed for athletes who take to the court and the gym, this new Nike Air Trainer 1 is meant to be taken on the trails. The shoes double down on the utilitarian aesthetic with the buckle strap on the forefoot, while their palette of neutral browns, yellows and oranges ensures you’ll stand out wherever you go.

Balenciaga Triple S “Purple”
With Demna at its helm, Balenciaga hasn’t been one to shy away from head-turning hues. (See Kim Kardashian’s neon green Le Cagole handbag, for example.) This season, the French luxury brand launched the iconic Balenciaga Triple S trainers in an all-new purple colourway, which seems to match the color of the year of Pantone, Very Peri, quite perfectly. The shoes are finished with see-through midsoles which only add to their cool factor.
