The sneakers releasing this week aren’t your conventional hyped collaborations. In fact, the list comprises some already established partnerships like Converse and JW Anderson, Adidas, Bape and Neighborhood, and let’s not forget Puma’s ever-expanding apparel and sneaker range with Han Kjobenhavn. Get all the details you need below.
Converse x JW Anderson Run Star Hike
April 18
JW Anderson literally elevates the classic Converse Chuck Taylor for this truly unique rendition. The sneaker, dubbed the Run Star Hike, sees the Chuck Taylor atop a JW Anderson-branded white platform with sawtooth soles in gum and black colors. This modernized interpretation is certainly eye-catching and you only have to part with S$195 to get your hands on it.

Nike Zoom Vomero 5

PUMA x Han Kjobenhavn
April 18
Puma and the Danish label expand their collaboration line with a Spring/Summer 2019 drop this Thursday, April 18. The RS-X collaboration sneaker that will be released as part of the collection looks set to steal all the attention with its neon green outsole and metallic embellishments on the otherwise muted beige midsole and black upper. Want a statement sneaker? This S$239 pair could just be it.

PUMA Bugis+, Jewel Changi Airport, MBS SELECT, CK Tang and Leftfoot
Adidas Originals x Bape x Neighborhood
April 19
If recent sneaker history is any indication, anything produced by the collaboration trio comprising Adidas, Bape and Neighborhood will most definitely fly off the shelves. We’re guessing this upcoming release will be no different. The sneaker designs on the NMD STLT and POD S-3.1 are bold, but geared for different tastes. For an obvious flex, set your sights on the Bape camo-splashed POD S-3.1. If not, gun for the NMD STLT which features a slightly more minimal design – aside from the bold streaks of yellow on the side panels and the large co-branding texts on the tongue cover. These sneakers will retail at S$320 each.

Air Jordan 11 Low “Navy Snakeskin”
April 19
The Air Jordan 11 Low “Navy Snakeskin” makes a comeback this week, albeit with a slightly updated design. This retro of 2001’s original will feature leather panels on the upper instead of mesh and a new translucent icy outsole for a modern touch. But the already luxurious navy snakeskin wrap on the mudguard remains. Unfortunately, the sneaker will only be available in smaller sizes, retailing at S$155.
