7 Of The Best Sneakers We Have Our Eye On This Week

From golfing sneakers to those designed for the colder months, this week’s sneaker drop will have you turning heads.

If some industries have found themselves floundering amidst the global pandemic, the same can’t be said for designers in the sneaker world. Though the pandemic has no doubt been unkind to the fashion world, sneaker drops continue to come thick and fast. While it’s certainly good news for sneaker fiends around the world, simply keeping up with the latest drops can be a source of great anxiety and when you couple it with the fact most tend to sell out quicker than a TikTok dance trend goes viral, it sees you held captive to the whim of sneaker brands as you hover over the “refresh” button of the browser, awaiting that next update.

Thankfully, we’re here to help you out. In this week’s round-up of the best new sneakers launching in the coming weeks, there’s sure to be a sneaker to please everyone. From those looking to impress on the putting green, to those simply wanting to get outdoors and brave the elements that the colder months serve up, these sneakers prove style and function aren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, in 2021 you can have both. For the Men’s Health pick of the sneaker crop, read on for the best new sneakers launching in the coming weeks.

Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 550, approx. $244

This collaboration is one sneaker fiends around the world have been clambering for. Aime Leon Done can do no wrong in our eyes, and never has that been more apparent than with this reissued pair of 550s. The colour way is a fresh take on a classic and while there are hits of nostalgia, it’s also incredibly current. 

New Balance

Nike Air Max 90 Golf NRG, approx. $193

It used to be the case that as far as golf attire was concerned, you’d be trading style for functionality. But in recent years, as the popularity of the sport has increased significantly, we’re seeing sneaker brands take a fresh, contemporary approach to golfing attire. Case in point: the Nike Air Max 90 Golf NRG sneakers. With an island influences thanks to its all-over palmetto tree graphic, we’re loving this take on a favourite silhouette. 

Nike

Karhu, Fusion 2.0, $186

And Wander x Salomon Crosshike, $396

If you needed any further proof that Salomon is the brand to watch as far as sneaker trends are concerned, here it is. The And Wander x Salomon collaboration is a significant one and while it might see you reaching deep into your pockets, know that you’re getting style and function in the one sneaker.

New Balance, 57/40, $217

In celebration of the brand’s annual Grey Day, New Balance have introduced the M5740TA.

If you thought there was such a thing as too many New Balance sneakers in your wardrobe, think again.

With traction underfoot and stability provided through a multi-directional bevelled rubber lug design, this sneaker will have your turning heads on the green. Featuring an engineered GRANDFOAM midsole and removable sockliner for responsive cushioning and multi-layered comfort, Cole Hahn once again proves to be the destination for golfing sneakers that are stylish as they are supportive and functional.
