PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

THE ONE THAT'S STUCK IN OUR HEADS

ACTION BRONSON X NEW BALANCE 1906R

In his second collaboration series with New Balance, Action Bronson infuses his bold and vibrant color sensibility into the 1906R's wearable tech with two striking new colorways: Rosewater and Medusa Azul. The former features a light green mesh upper accented with bold fuchsia on the tongue and heel counter, while translucent TPU overlays with reflective details replace the traditional synthetic materials. Medusa Azul (pictured) showcases a cool blue shadow mesh, complemented by purple synthetic overlays and golden brown mesh beneath the metallic N-lock branding. Both designs are completed with a color-blocking approach that emphasises each technological element within the segmented sole unit.

THE BEST COMBINATION OF LUXURY AND PERFORMANCE

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN ROCKNRUN

The ROCKNRUN has to be one of the releases of the year, among both running shoes and lifestyle sneakers. They're engineered to contain all the technical features of the best running shoes, such as technical cushioning that offers great energy returns, and lightweight materials so you can get more out of your runs. With a two-tone, textured rubber sole, it's also a great run on asphalt, concrete and on the track.

The ROCKNRUN also has all the couture hallmarks of Christian Louboutin sneakers: bright, bold colourways, urban motifs and the maison's signature tricolour laces (made reflective for visibility during night runs).

It's a fantastic follow-up to last year's Astroloubi, which we absolutely adored. But while the Astroloubi are the sneakers you bring out for the right party, the ROCKNRUN is built to be a more constant companion.

THE BEST OF STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
