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.
