Release Date:May 27Release Price:$200 USDWhere to Buy:CrocsandG-SHOCKWhy You Should Cop:When it comes to choosing collaborators, Crocs always subverts expectations. The slip-on specialists are back with a new partnership this week, tapping the watch experts at G-SHOCK for a new glow-in-the-dark take on the Echo Wave. The silhouette's signature flow is covered in a light beige as green and pink collide at its strap. What sets this pair apart is that it comes with its own co-branded timepiece that can either be worn with a watch strap or placed at the slip-on's custom dock at the lateral rivet of each shoe. Release Date:May 28Release Price:$250 USD to $350 USDWhere to Buy:adidasWhy You Should Cop:Grace Wales Bonner's eponymous label is back with another capsule made in collaboration with adidas Originals. The duo is responsible for many exciting footwear releases in recent years and are back with not only two revamps of existing silhouettes, but a new model entirely as well. The Karintha fuses adidas' DNA with Wales Bonner's fashion-forward vision, building atop a contrast grip-patterned, low-profile outsole with two sleek upper options. Its first colorway sees a brown sequined finish pair with satin touches whereas the other offers a light brown suede. Adding to the range are suede versions of the Superstar Hi that sport perforated Three Stripes and gilded co-branding. The Adilette slide completes the lineup with leather at both the footbed and its strap, which has been handwoven in Brazil. Release Date:May 28Release Price:$70 USDWhere to Buy:CrocsWhy You Should Cop:Just one day after the G-SHOCK drop, it'll be time for Crocs to reunite with theDragon Ball Zfranchise. The two teamed up earlier this year for hero-centric colorways dedicated to Goku and Vegeta. Now, villains are at the forefront of two Classic Clogs, nodding to Frieza and Cell. The former's pair combines high-shine purple with a muted green while carrying five Jibbitz charms based on Frieza and his forms. As for Cell's version, his green specks are back alongside his high-shine navy as his Jibbitz charms round the pair out. Release Date:May 29Release Price:$330 USDWhere to Buy:New BalanceWhy You Should Cop:The New Balance 1300JP is one of the most elusive models in the sneaker scene. Since being introduced in 1985, it releases only once every five years and is back once again courtesy of the MADE in USA line in celebration of the brand's month of 'Grey Days.' Craftsmanship is a key focus of each pair, with light brown nubuck overlays running atop a blue mesh base. A white leather 'N' logo is situated at each side of the midfoot, matching the white lining, heel tab, and ENCAP-equipped midsole. Release Date:May 30Release Price:$190 USDWhere to Buy:SNKRSWhy You Should Cop:If you missed out on UNDEFEATED's exclusive launch of the Nike Kobe 6 Protro 'Dodgers' last month, you're in luck as Nike is set to host its own drop of the LA-themed sneaker. A 'Game Royal' blue upper combines with white and 'University Red' detailing, recreating the color scheme of the MLB's most recent World Series winners, the Los Angeles Dodgers. For those looking to further celebrate their fandom, Nike has a Kobe-themed baseball equipment collection that complements the kicks. Release Date:May 30Release Price:$130 USD to $250 USDWhere to Buy:HBX(Inhale & Mostro) andPUMAWhy You Should Cop:It's been less than two years since A$AP Rocky's partnership with PUMA debuted and the style icon has already made his mark on the brand, bringing energy to the return of its ever-popular Mostro sneaker. He's doing this once again as two Mostros and another collaborative Inhale are on the way from the duo. Looking first at the Inhale, it dons fiery overlays with a reflective gray base while nodding to Flacko at the tongue. The standard Mostro maintains its sleekness with a contrast-heavy black and white color scheme that features a croc skin-inspired leather finish. The Mostro Gabbia Leather is where things take a turn. He's again replaced the Mostro's strap system with a Disc unit while also introducing a removable cage that accentuates the model's edgy flair. Release Date:May 30Release Price:$210 USDWhere to Buy:SNKRSWhy You Should Cop:One of Jordan Brand's flagship themes for 2025 is 'Rare Air.' It draws inspiration from the imperfections found on sample pairs of early Air Jordan releases and calls upon them to signify rarity. The line began with the release of two Air Jordan 1 High OGs last month and continues now with a thematic take on the Air Jordan 3. This version of the shoe not only sports Nike Air branding at the heel, but the right shoe's logo is mirrored. It also forgoes the use of the AJ3's typical elephant print, instead using various gray suedes. A black leather upper, bright blue accents and hits of off-white round it out. Release Date:May 30Release Price:$135 USD to $140 USDWhere to Buy:HBXandVansWhy You Should Cop:Japanese denim meets classic Vans silhouettes with this FDMTL x OTW by Vans collaboration. The partners worked together previously on mainline Vans releases and are back now with takes on the Old Skool 36 and Half Cab 33. Unlike some of their previous projects, these pairs recreate the look of sashiko stitching by utilizing an engineered knit upper instead of actual denim. A flurry of blues are backed by off-white notes that match the plain OTW by Vans-branded sole unit. Release Date:May 31Release Price:$200 USDWhere to Buy:WORKSOUTWhy You Should Cop:South Korean boutique WORKSOUT has teamed up with Nike to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 95, assembling two collaborative colorways of the sneaker. Its 'Uniform' and 'Triple Black' looks, the latter of which will not be re-releasing next month, reimagine the upper of the iconic shoe. Its wavy structure sets aside its anatomy-inspired stacking in favor of sleek linework that backs a new large lateral Swoosh. The 'Uniform' pair carries a military green upper whereas the 'Triple Black' colorway offers a pure all-black look. WORKSOUT branding is visible at both the tongue tag and special packaging. Release Date:May 31Release Price:$180 USDWhere to Buy:SNKRSWhy You Should Cop:When it comes to the Air Jordan 1, the Jumpman team has proven time and again that it has plenty of tricks up its sleeves as both new and familiar colorways are reworked to provide something fresh. This week, the Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Bred Toe' becomes the 'Ruby' colorway as its white, black, and red color blocking sees the latter note transition into a shimmering 'Ruby' red thanks to a high-shine crackled leather. From there, a black metal Wings logo further elevates the women's-exclusive colorway.

A$AP Rocky x PUMA Mostro release date: Premium design, velcro closure & everything we know
A$AP Rocky x PUMA Mostro: Prepare to step up your sneaker game! ASAP Rocky returns with another highly anticipated collaboration, this time with Puma. The rapper and fashion icon collaborated with the German sportswear brand to produce a fresh new style that is already generating talk. In this article, we'll look at the ASAP Rocky x Puma Inhale OG Reflective, including the narrative behind the shoe, its distinct characteristics, and what fans can expect from this exciting new release. Whether you're an avid sneakerhead or simply a follower of ASAP Rocky's style, you'll want to keep reading to discover more about this exciting new release. A$AP Rocky x PUMA Mostro release date Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the A$AP Rocky x PUMA Mostro will be available on May 30th, 2025. In addition, when the sneakers are released, they will retail for $130 (Approx. 11,180 INR). All about PUMA Mostro The Mostro debuted in 1999 and has always stood out for its jagged, low-profile design. Under Rocky's vision, it becomes even more aggressive. The Harlem-born rapper has always been a tastemaker outside of music. Rocky knows how to impact fashion culture, whether through archival Raf Simons or a handmade Bottega boot. His new interpretation on the Mostro draws on that tradition. It's unapologetically loud and intended to divide opinions. That has always been the Mostro's appeal: startling looks and unusual textures that cater to a specific audience. Now, under Rocky's influence, it appears ready to disrupt again. The Mostro's resurgence is not about nostalgia. It is about altering the existing terrain. In a market saturated with throwback Jordans and collaboration fatigue, PUMA's proposal stands out. The photographs show a black crocodile-textured top, spiky sole, and striking velcro strap that feel like throwbacks to Y2K futurism. It's a chaotic silhouette, but it fits right into Rocky's managed chaos. Also Read: Converse x Naruto Shippuden Limited-Edition Sneaker launch date is out: Check out the characters, price, and more PUMA Mostro features The sneaker has a faux croc leather upper in jet black and a white PUMA Formstrip that cuts sharply across the sides. A modern velcro closure mechanism substitutes traditional laces, contributing to the streamlined appearance. The robust, spiked midsole provides both style and grip. White PUMA emblems appear on the heel, tongue, and insole. The grey lining and hidden strap provide subtle contrast. Part trail shoe, part fashion statement.
