HOKA Restore Chukka TS

Release Date: Out Now

Editor's Notes: The last time HOKA's Restore Chukka received this level of detailed treatment came via a bakery-inspired drop courtesy of paria /FARZANEH. Though this new iteration doesn't sport a hairy upper like the aforementioned pair, the snakeskin mesh upper is surely one of the best versions released so far.

New Balance 1906L

Release Date: Out Now

Editor's Notes: Just a few months ago folks were tapping into every resource they had to secure the first release of the 1906L that dropped last September, and yet here we are in January with New Balance serving up 2 pairs of the techy sneaker this month. The new release sees the mesh upper in a contrasting juniper hue detailed with navy accents.

ASICS GEL-Kayano 20

Release Date: January 17

Editor's Notes: Twelve years after its first release, ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 is still doing numbers with new colorways. The retro runner is bedecked in a neptune blue and black colorway with just the right amount of yellow to tie it all together.

Nike Air Max SNDR GTX

Release Date: January 18

Editor's Notes: Anything GORE-TEX during the first half of the year is an easy cop, especially when it's the Air Max SNDR in a luscious, berry hue.

adidas CLOT Superstar by Edison Chen

Release Date: January 16

Editor's Notes: By now, Edison Chen has completely transformed the Superstar silhouette (at least for those who are fans of tassel shoes). The latest collaboration from the duo celebrates the Lunar New Year with snakeskin overlays on the Three Stripes logo, gold foil accents, and a touch of red for good fortune.

Travis Scott x Nike Zoom Field Jaxx

Release Date: Out Now

Editor's Notes: Previously teased as the Shark-A-Don or Sharkidon (mainly for borrowing from both Nike's Shark and Air Zoom Spiridon silhouette), the Zoom Field Jaxx has finally arrived. If you're a fan of hook and loop closures (velcro straps) and Cactus Jack overall, be sure to pick these up before you regret the price.
