Painted midfoot and toe bones layer over the dark orange nubuck upper that also supports intricate lattice and floral details along the spine of the heel.

Periwinkle-ish blues take over the boot's collar and laces.

The shoe's fun with color doesn't stop there, as the boot's skeleton upper features color-changing properties that reflect light, turning from white to purple depending on the lighting.

Marigold, a golden flower symbolizing grief and remembrance, hangs from the shoe in the form of an embroidered hang tag. The flower also has brief cameos at the eyelet and footbed.

Available on the Timberland website for $240, this boot is part of Timberland's larger Día de los Muertos. The lineup also includes a women's Stone Street Platform Día de Muertos 6-Inch Waterproof Boot that features pearl beading at the ankle and an embroidered collar that matches the embroidery on the boot's marigold hang tag.

The collection also includes a matching black hoodie, available on the Timberland website October 19.

The Crafted Pony Hair Clog takes the familiar shape we all know and gives it a seasonal makeover, swapping the usual no-fuss finish for a fuzzy upper in rich shades of, you guessed it, brown.

And honestly, it works ridiculously well. The Espresso colorway has all the warmth of a freshly brewed coffee, with a hairy, tactile finish that makes the classic Crocs silhouette feel considerably more dressed up. It’s practically begging for oversized knitwear and a questionable number of pumpkin-spiced flavored drinks. 

The beauty of the clog is that it doesn’t sacrifice what made the original so good in the first place. The lightweight Croslite sole is still there, as is the adjustable “sport mode” backstrap, so all that fall styling comes without losing the easygoing appeal Crocs has built its reputation on.

There’s something particularly satisfying about seeing such a great shoe get a completely different personality just by switching up the materials. No need to mess with a good thing when a little pony hair can do this much heavy lifting.

Basically, if fall were a shoe, this Crocs clog would be a pretty convincing contender.

The Wheat colorway is arguably one of the most culturally significant in footwear history. Directly inspired by the iconic Timberland 6-Inch Premium boot, a silhouette that defined East Coast hip-hop culture and outdoor workwear uniform throughout the 1990s, the tan palette goes way deeper than the surface.

Nike famously brought this workboot aesthetic onto the Air Force 1 in 2001 with the release of the CO.JP Flax Air Force 1 Mid in Japan, followed by the legendary Low-top iterations that became annual cold-weather requirements. This much-awaited return marks a revival of the fan favorite, arriving right on cue for fall and winter rotations.

This latest iteration sees some subtle changes in design, though, most notably in its elevated material execution. Swapping out standard smooth nubuck, Nike updates the upper with a more tactile suede with a hairy finish.

A full monochrome Wheat flood coats the upper, midsole, and outsole, giving the shoe its signature monolithic aesthetic.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Wheat is a case study in good colorways, really. The best don’t need to be complex, but it does help if they have a story behind them. This one appeals on pure aesthetics at the most base level, but for those looking one step further, it’s an exercise in cultural referencing and storytelling.

That's right. New Balance has weatherproofed its 480 skate shoes, ensuring they stay dry and breathable even in unexpected wet conditions.

Plus, the GORE-TEX versions come in a sharp-looking "Black/Charcoal Grey" colorway. So, they're still stylish as ever in messy weather.

New Balance has dropped many GORE-TEX sneakers before, including waterproof 1906s and DynaSoft trail runners. But this is the first GORE-TEX 480 skate shoe. And honestly, it's about time.

Don't get me wrong, the 480 is already pretty great, with its simple, skate-ready design and fashionable color options. But making a skate sneaker for rainy days is a smart move.

New Balance's GORE-TEX 480s is set to land at skate shops starting on October 9. It will then drop on October 12 on New Balance's website for $160.

The model typically retails for $100, but those aren't waterproof. Yesterday's price is not the GORE-TEX price, or whatever Fat Joe said.

The burgundy "Team Red Pony Hair" Nike Air Force 1 Low sneaker is a cherry cola take on the Swoosh's hairiest shoe genre.

Nothing spells fall like a deep burgundy dye job. The tufted fur upper is a rich cherry red across the upper, including the equally dense Swoosh that blends into the thick brush of the sneaker, while the burgundy rubber outsole breaks up some of the shoe's fuzzy goodness.

Before Nike took the Air Force 1 down this layered cherry cola road, the Swoosh has added extensions to the AF1 in the past.

This includes a Lorax-coded ginger iteration that looks like it came straight out of the Truffula Forest.

In general, hairy Air Force 1 sneakers are quite the burgeoning demographic. No seriously. The Swoosh put rat fur on a mousey little Air Force 1, turned a black AF1 into a stunning black panther, and even swaddled a stone iteration of the sneaker in its very own ice blonde wig.

But as it stands, this burgundy Air Force 1 is the deepest red head on the Swoosh's roster. Comb sold separately.

Python-print leather completely swallows up the newest Authentic-based model, covering it in reptilian scales from the upper to the soles. Seriously.

The Ease keeps its incredibly supple tongue, which folds with, well, ease, along with other high-end touches like the waxed laces. It also keeps that general Authentic-ness.

Vans started out with mostly muted suede Authentic Ease sneakers. Lately, though, the brand has been experimenting with new designs while still keeping things calm-colored and luxe. Just recently, Vans introduced a black leather Ease, which made the model look dressier than ever.

Now, it's biting back with this snakeskin release. Still fancy, though.

As of now, the python Premium Authentic Ease sneaker is available on Vans' website for $100.

So far, we've seen the Air Max Muse swap out the traditional sleek leather for croc skin and even extra-smooth matte looks. But the next release might be the daintiest of them all.

On the newest pairs, the uppers are completely covered in pink satin, with silky ribbons for shoelaces. It's a very ballet-coded take, to put it simply.

KNWLS delivered its own Air Max Muse Ballet in 2026, which resulted in an offbeat point-toe collaboration with silky lace-ups. The new Air Max Muse Satin is very ballet-y, yes, but it sticks to the original design formula. No pointy twists.

So, if you weren't quite ready to walk on the wild side of ballet sneakers with KNWLS, Nike's new satin Muses might be more your steez.

Good news (for those overseas): the Nike Air Max Muse Satin, which comes in "Bleach Dry Lacquer," will release soon on Nike Japan's website for ¥21,230, or $133.

The latest pair features black padded leather uppers and clean stitching. It all looks as if the model slipped into the slickest winter coat. It's unclear what inspired the latest Air Max, but one thing's for sure: it's puffed to perfection.

Again, we've seen all sorts of Nike Air Max 90s over the years, including denim versions and even smooth suede options. Nike has done leather options, too. But this season has seen some especially buttery drops, including those gradient Premium Essential pairs in "Dark Smoke Grey" and "Cinnamon."

Nike's "Triple Black" Air Max 90 is another leather gem for the collection.

Speaking of which, it's now available on Dover Street Market Japan's website for ¥20,900, which is around $131 at current exchange rates.

The collaborative Air Forces arrive in glossy leather, finished in "Burnt Sunrise and Metallic Gold" with nods to all three collaborators.

Retro colorblocking and bright colors are classic NIGO. He basically brought the energy from his BAPE shoes and Nike Air Force 3s to the latest Air Force 1. Meanwhile, the boldness is also very j-hope-coded. ICYMI: the BTS member has his own bright aesthetic dubbed "hobicore."

The collaborative Air Force 1 also features squirrel graphics throughout, including an embroidered motif on the heel. It's basically another j-hope reference, as he's largely associated with the animal (it's basically a inside joke amongst his fanbase that became a huge part of the K-pop musician's brand).

Of course, underneath the j-hope and NIGO touches, there's the mega-classic Air Force 1 silhouette. It keeps its signature touches, like the platformed Air soles and perforated toe box. This version is just, well, a little extra nutty, thanks to NIGO and j-hope. All compliments, by the way.

The NIGO x j-hope x Nike Air Force 1 is scheduled to release on Human Made's website on October 17, followed by a release on Nike's website on October 22. The shoes retail for $150.

Founded in Los Angeles by Steven Mena, Menace has carved out its identity by combining the classic and time-proven cocktail of skate culture, social commentary, and solid design. But while Menace is thriving in its own right, it’s always great to see that popularity translate into a big-name collab. 

This release serves as yet another clear signal that adidas is pushing the Adistar Control 5 aggressively this year, with momentum all but guaranteed to carry deep into next year. By handing the silhouette over to names like Menace, the brand is systematically establishing the model as its chosen canvas for cultural storytelling.

This one isn’t easy to miss. Fitted with an upper that mimics the ever-fascinating markings of a heat map, it’s defined by deep purple transforming through the gradient spectrum to a bright yellow center.

Black accents layer over the heat-map base to ground the shoe in a more balanced way. Menace branding replaces standard tongue badges as well as landing on the third stripe along the lateral side.

The Menace x adidas Adistar Control 5 reinforces the runner’s status as the new powerhouse of the Three Stripes' lifestyle stable. With this silhouette rapidly becoming the default canvas for adidas collaborations, it begs the question: who will we see take on the model next?

 Highsnobiety got up close with the 30th-anniversary Space Jam collection, and spoiler alert: there are even more shoes this time around. The OG "Space Jam" Jordan 11s lead the way, with a premium design that's not only true to the original but complete with movie Easter eggs. It’s basically the closest thing we'll ever get to the pairs Jordan wore in the film. Meanwhile, the brand also introduced two additional Jordan 11 sneakers: a bronze-ish, color-shifting "Magic Ball" pair and a tonal, Bottega-level "Green Screen" option. These new takes call back to the ‘90s classic but with more modern details and finishes. 

"Think about all the content creation that's going on, kids using these backdrops to create these invisible worlds. Imagine that kid that's using a green screen. He can pick his AJ11 and turn it into whatever moment he's trying to create," Terrance Harvey, who oversees Jordan’s retro releases, tells Highsnobiety.

"It's more about the experience that they can feel around the product and less about telling them another narrative about MJ."

Jordan’s Space Jam anniversary collection also includes Jordan 11 cleats, Jordan 1 Golf shoes, Jordan First 1s, Jordan 3s, and lifestyle-slash sports clothes. Essentially, there's something for everyone, young and old, hoopers and golfers, and the "I thought it looked cool" folks in between.

"It's not just offering the consumer an AJ11 or the OG colorway. It's about what other worlds they are in. That's why we offered the cleat, golf shoe, and apparel across sports and streetwear," Harvey says.  

"We got something for you that's still tied to the Space Jam vibe and still relevant to the moment." 

The jam-ing didn't stop there, either. The Jordan Brand invited Highsnobiety out to Los Angeles for a massive celebration, aptly dubbed "Welcome to the Jam." It was roughly 48 hours worth of Space Jam-related activities, including a beachside welcome dinner with movie-themed cocktails and a private screening of the movie (of course!). 

The main event, however, went down at the Jordan Dome in Inglewood on October 8. Under one roof, the brand erected an exhibition of never-before-seen cartoon sketches and movie memorabilia. The brand also hosted a panel with stylist Aleali May, WNBA star Azzi Fudd, MJ's trainer Tim Grover, and godfather of the Jordan Brand Howard White. Cactus Jack artist SoFaygo performed. Travis Scott also made an appearance. 

As if the night wasn't already jam-packed with surprises, the Jordan Brand ended the evening with a bang, announcing a six-part mini docuseries about the making of Space Jam. Its name? Beyond the Jam. It will debut on YouTube on November 15. And since Jordan's Space Jam sneakers and clothes drop on November 6 on Nike's website, consider the watch party 'fits handled.

"We're Jordan Brand at the end of the day, so there will always be product, synergy, and momentum built around MJ himself. But we also know we have an obligation to push this brand 40 years from today's moment. I think that comes through really unique stories that really resonate with the kids today," Harvey says.

"Today's Jordan consumer is totally different from what it was 5-10 years ago. Today's youth, they haven't had the chance to see him play. They know who the man is to some extent, but I think it's very important for us to push new narratives that are respectful of their worlds."
