2 New Drops From Brooks & New Balance Are Back From The Past & Sprinting Into The Future
The world of footwear is always evolving, constantly delivering new and exciting pairs for us to slip our feet into.
From a bold original creation, to a reintroduction of a classic – here are new, killer kicks you gotta take a gander at.
Brooks Cascadia 1
With the return of the Cascadia 1, a shoe that made its debut on the trails in 2004 and swiftly rose to fame, Brooks Running is going back to its roots.
In collaboration with ultra-running champion and Brooks-sponsored trail athlete Scott Jurek, the Cascadia 1 was created with the goal of breaking new ground in trail-running innovation, rather than focusing solely on functionality.
Back after 20 years, the shoe is not just breaking records in the mountains; it is also redefining lifestyle footwear standards on urban streets.
This is not nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia. With the same ready-for-anything mentality that propelled Jurek across finish lines, the resurrected Cascadia 1 remains loyal to its origins; improved foam cushioning and a ballistic rock shield ensure a smooth transition from rough trail to urban jungle.
Bold, daring, and unmissable, the classic yellow colourway is combined with modern accents and vintage technology like HydroFlow cushioning and Pivot Post stability.
It is a dependable lifestyle essential that gives your outfit personality without compromising comfort.
Something uncommon is provided by the Cascadia 1: authenticity with edge. It is a shoe for people who like bold design and understated innovation, as well as story and substance. The Cascadia 1 is a unique fusion of technical heritage and lifestyle flair, with Brooks' 110-year legacy behind it and an eye towards the future.
Wearers are encouraged to create their own path rather than merely following one, whether that path is on concrete, dirt, or some other surface.
Find the shoe that began it all again and style it however you like. You can visit BrooksRunning.com to snag your very own reissued Cascadia 1 for US$140 (~RM592).
Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance RC56
Since their 2019 partnership debut, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance have consistently worked together. Some of the most well-liked recent releases from the American sportswear brand are featured in the pair's footwear.
A brand-new model, the RC56, is expected to be the focus of their first new project for 2025.
The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance RC56 has leaked an early look, showing off the model's green, yellow, and silver colour scheme, which is contrasted with an off-white midsole and black accents. The new silhouette has a mesh base with synthetic overlays, though its technical details have not yet been made public.
Additionally, the tongue that sits beneath an 'aimé' hit features model branding. This initial examination of the shoe is completed by the appearance of ALD's Queens Crest logo at the heel.
Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance have not yet disclosed the arrival date of their joint campaign, which features the new RC56. We currently anticipate it to be released later this season via Aimé Leon Dore, New Balance, and a few other retailers. Prices for the shoe will be announced at a later date.

2 Bold Drops From New Balance & Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court Bring Neon Heat & Creamy Cool
New Balance 1906A Neon Pack New Balance is turning the heat back up on its 1906A lineup with a bold new 'Neon Pack' dropping this Fall. After letting the 2010 and 2000 series take the spotlight for a bit, the 1906A returns with two eye-catching colourways that are anything but low-key. The 'Pink Metallic' colorway goes all out with a black base, bright pink mesh, and shiny silver accents – giving serious Y2K-meets-cyberpunk vibes. Meanwhile, the 'White/Green' version is a clean, minimalist look, built on off-white leather with subtle neon green details hiding in the stitching and outsole. Both styles still champion the 1906A's deconstructed frame and tech-runner DNA, but this pack plays with tone and texture in exciting new ways. Whether you're after an unapologetically loud statement shoe or something more quietly confident, the Neon Pack has your vibe sorted. The New Balance 1906A 'Pink Metallic' and 'White/Green' Neon Pack will retail for US$170 (~RM799) and are expected to launch in Fall 2025 at select New Balance stores and online. Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court 'Muslin' Jordan Brand is teaming up once again with Ev Bravado and Tela D'Amore's label, Who Decides War, to deliver a fresh take on its newest lifestyle silhouette: the Jordan Flight Court. After helping launch the model with a sleek black version last year, the duo is back – this time with something softer, but just as bold. Enter the 'Muslin' colourway, a creamy concoction of coconut milk, varsity red, and off-white tones. The upper features signature Who Decides War touches like intricate stitching and that low-key bullet logo, tucked behind a semi-translucent heel. You'll also spot the red Jumpman branding and a hidden message – 'The World Is Your Court' – etched on the tongue's inner side. This collab leans into detail without going overboard, blending streetwear's storytelling with Jordan's court heritage. It's clean, it's wearable, and it lowkey makes you feel like you're walking on a gallery floor instead of just the sidewalk. The Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court 'Muslin' will retail for US$115 (~RM539) and is expected to release in Summer 2025 at select Nike stores and online via Nike SNKRS and What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0

Crafted In The USA, Worn Everywhere: New Balance Drops 1300JP 2025
The other shoe has dropped! New Balance has unveiled the 2025 iteration of the Made in USA 1300JP – the legendary style released just once every five years. Coming this May during 'Grey Days,' the 1300JP stands out as one of New Balance's most sought-after styles, not only because of its rarity, but because of its impeccable craftsmanship and unique place in global sneaker culture. Released in 1985, the original 1300 was lauded for its combination of technological innovation and premium materials. The superior cushioning provided by full-length ENCAP and the shoe's premium nubuck and mesh construction redefined the public's understanding of what a luxury running shoe could be. Even though the original 1300 shattered the era's established price ceiling, the shoe quickly gained traction amongst consumers, particularly in Japan. New Balance fans began wearing the 1300 not just to run, but as a mark of status and taste, rooted in the culture's deep reverence for craftsmanship. The discerning sneaker-buying public paid extra close attention to the details of the shoe, where the immense care taken to construct each component was evident – down to the subtle individual irregularities created by hand stitching. The 1300 elevated standards of quality and craft to a level that transcended performance footwear. Demand for the original led to a cult-like following, inspiring the reissue of the 1300JP in 1995. Celebrating the brand's rich heritage, New Balance has since re-released the 1300JP every five years. The anticipation for this extremely limited release is part of what makes it so special. The style's authentic appeal, elevated materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, continue to enthral fashion and sneaker culture alike with each new release. 'The 1300JP is a shoe like no other, an emblem of the soul of New Balance, that is prized by collectors and appreciators around the globe. Even before joining New Balance myself 34 years ago, I was inspired by my father's work with the brand on the innovative sole design for the original 1300JP. This legacy model has been a constant throughout my career at New Balance, from spending years perfecting the first reissue, to working diligently on each subsequent launch to evolve the style in subtle ways while remaining true to its roots. With 2025's launch we are excited to continue the 1300JP's legacy, showcasing the design's timeless appeal to loyal fans and a new generation' said Shinichi Kubota, Vice President, New Balance Japan. Meticulously crafted in New Balance's Skowhegan, Maine manufacturing facility, the Made in USA 1300JP is produced with a level of detail, expertise, and premium quality that is unrivalled in the sneaker world. The Made in USA 1300JP will retail for RM1,399 and drops in Malaysia on 29th May 2025. Cop it online at The Grey Shop and through raffle draw at the New Balance Malaysia page.

2 Sneaker Drops From Bembury x Crocs & ALD x New Balance Bring Bold Colour & Retro Tech
Want to kick off your sneaker year with a bang? Get ready, because these two drops will fire up your shelf and your socials. From a fingerprint-stamped statement to a sleek retro runner, here's what's dropping. Salehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Juniper 'Apricot' Salehe Bembury's reign of rubber continues – and this time, he's bringing the heat in juicy 'Apricot.' Following up on his wildly popular Pollex Clog and that quirky 'Art Friends' series (shoutout Nina Chanel Abney), Salehe is back with the fifth iteration of the Pollex Juniper. And yes, it's as delicious as it sounds. This round wraps the upper in an all-over apricot orange, accented with a moody brown tongue and collar, rouge red laces, and a pop of bright blue across the midfoot – it's giving sunset meets streetwear. The real scene-stealer, though? That signature wavy sole, decked out in lavender and stamped with Bembury's iconic fingerprint motif. It's as much a fashion statement as it is a biometric one. Salehe Bembury's Crocs Pollex Juniper 'Apricot' drops 22nd May on BeASpunge, so keep your eyes peeled for price and release updates – this juicy collab won't stay on shelves for long. Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance RC56 If Crocs aren't your jam, maybe something a little more track-to-street will get your engine running. Enter: the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance RC56. Born from a long-time love affair between the NYC label and Boston's beloved sneaker giant, the RC56 is a brand-new silhouette cooked up in ALD's creative kitchen. Inspired by early 2000s cross-country runners but served with a modern twist, this launch isn't just another collab – it's a straight-up debut. We're getting three clean colourways this week: 'Neon/Grey,' 'Pristine,' and 'Navy' – all laced up in perforated leather, nylon mono mesh, and synthetic detailing. It's giving breathability and bougie. Beneath the surface, FuelCell cushioning and a PU foam footbed offer the kind of plush comfort you'd expect from a long-distance runner. Aimé Leon Dore's New Balance RC56 drops 23rd May, so keep tabs on ALD for the latest scoop on pricing, sizing, and where to snag this clean-cut collab.
