However, the brand has changed the narrative by taking onboard the young basketball sensation LaMelo Ball. Puma isn’t as big on celebrity sneaker collabs as Nike or Adidas, or even sneaker collabs, in general.

But we did get another smashing sneaker collab released posthumously. Virgil Abloh’s contributions to the sneaker world go way back, and it’s unfortunate that we won’t see more of them. After his passing, the sneakers have resurfaced as part of his last collection for the French luxury brand. The Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 sneakers by Virgil Abloh easily take the reigns when it comes to the most iconic sneaker collabs.

First off, it’s a new sneaker model inspired by the 990 series, unlike other collabs that are just reincarnations of classic models. The 9060 collab is different for a variety of reasons. Joe Freshgoods has established himself as the design king of the ‘West side of Chicago.’ While he has collaborated with many brands, he outdid himself with New Balance.

According to Nike, she wore them when she sprained her ankle and loved the extra support the high top of the sneakers provided. It’s interesting why she chose to collaborate on this particular sneaker model. The young singer-songwriter took the technologically-advanced design of the Jordan 15s to the next level, with 20 per cent of them made with recycled material, just how her AF1 rendition was.

The subtle colours of these sneakers are just so versatile that they have to be the best Travis Scott collab sneakers to come out in 2022. The Reverse Mocha colourway features cream leather, brown suede, and the Cactus Jack logo on the back tab. As if a Travis Scott collab isn’t already hyped! The Travis Scott x Jordan 1 Low ‘Reverse Mocha’ colourway was teased for months, only hyping it up for the Cactus Jack sneakerheads.

Sachs even asked fans not to buy resales as the shoes will be restocked, so they can buy them at retail price. They were priced modestly and were restocked frequently to meet the demand. His collab sneakers, named ‘General Purpose Shoe’ or ‘GPS,’ are all about accessibility. Where sneaker collabs are all about limited edition numbers, the contemporary American artist, Tom Sachs, took a different approach with his collab with Nike under the label Nike Crafts. ![]() Source Image: GQ Tom Sachs x Nike ‘General Purpose Shoe’ There are even rumours of an AF1 Low collab with Eilish making rounds in sneaker blogs and forums. A second colourway ‘Sequoia’ has been unveiled, releasing in fall. ![]() They were released in the neutral ‘Mushroom’ colourway. Made with 18 per cent recycled materials, the sneakers sold out immediately. Eilish redesigned the iconic high-top sneakers, Nike Air Force 1s, and made them with a vegan nubuck upper.
