ROMBAUT x PUMA Levitation “Medic Green”
Exploring new things is what fuels my life. It could be stumbling upon a hidden restaurant, a fresh brand, or an intriguing item that catches my fancy. The initial encounter with something remarkable and innovative is always enchanting. One such instance that stands out happened about a year back when I spotted ROMBAUT’s PUMA Levitation sneakers on the runway at Paris Fashion Week. The floating heel and streamlined design captivated me instantly. This sudden burst of excitement not only made me eagerly await its launch but also prompted me to delve deeper into ROMBAUT, ultimately leading to an interview with founder Mats Rombaut before the collaboration’s debut.
Upon obtaining the ROMBAUT x PUMA Levitation in its “Medic Green” version, it met all expectations of being highly acclaimed. The moment I put it on, the textured interior design allowed me to stand proudly with an elevated heel accentuating my presence. It was as if I had boosted my virtual character’s build in a game, enhancing its power and dexterity. This newfound self-assurance has led me through numerous journeys since, as this shoe not only adds to my physical height but also to my style. – Logan Fairbrother, Associate Editor
Rick Owens Beatle Bogun
Over the past couple of years, I’ve been gravitating towards boots more than ever, and my go-to pair has become none other than the Rick Owens Beatle Bogun. These bad boys are not just a massive, blacked-out boot – they’re a versatile gem that fits perfectly into my color-challenged wardrobe. With baggy pants, they maintain a subtle cool, but when paired with shorts or cropped pants, they make quite the bold statement. Comfort-wise, despite their hefty weight, I’ve discovered that they’re incredibly comfortable and accommodating for long hours on my feet. And let’s not forget the extra inch or two they add to my height – a nice little boost to my confidence! – Paul Heavener, Game Design Director
FENTY x PUMA Avanti “Team Royal/Creamy Vanilla”
This year, the FENTY x PUMA Avanti sneaker has produced numerous color options and designs, representing the peak of Rihanna’s collaboration with the shoe brand.
In January, the experienced pair revamped the Avanti design, introducing the sleeker Avanti LS sneaker. Taking inspiration from the classic PUMA shape, this updated Riri-inspired version is tailored for today’s style, featuring a lighter frame compared to its previous iteration. The sneaker boasts a distinctive foldover tongue that resembles a cleat, and it completes the design with natural rubber soles and gum studding on the heels.
Despite the soccer-inspired design being quite appealing, it was the eye-catching color combination that sealed the deal for me. The bold “Team Royal” blue paired beautifully with its contrasting “Creamy Vanilla,” making these boots perfect for summer. – Elaina Bernstein, Editor

Though the soccer-styled design was a major draw, I ended up purchasing it because of its colorway. The striking “Team Royal” blue, complemented by “Creamy Vanilla,” really caught my eye. These boots are ideal for summer as they come in such a bright blue colorway. – Elaina Bernstein, Editor
Salomon XT-Whisper “White/Lunar Rock”
As a longtime admirer of Salomon’s color manipulation skills, the XT-Whisper in “White/Lunar Rock” demonstrates that the brand is equally adept at delivering monochromatic styles. This model has become my go-to shoe for various aspects of my life due to its versatility and convenience. Whether I’m boarding a plane or reaching a destination, these sneakers are always by my side. They’re effortless to put on and take off when I’m heading to yoga or pilates, making them a constant choice in my wardrobe rotation for both on-set and office outfits. I appreciate the silhouette’s versatility and ease of styling, as well as its distinctive design elements that set Salomon sneakers apart. – Courtney Kenefick, Creative Director
Nike Shox R4 “Metallic Silver/Picante Red”
Instead of donning numerous pairs of sneakers, you’re likely to see me wearing well-worn Crocs from a restaurant or old Dr. Martens boots. However, the Nike Shox R4 took me by surprise. They have a sporty feel that suggests jogging, yet they are incredibly comfortable for casual wear like strolling or running errands. The bounce from the Shox columns makes them seem light on your feet, and the fit is snug without being restrictive. The color scheme is noticeable but not overly ostentatious. I’ve worn them in various settings – city streets, airports, art galleries, even casual gatherings – and they have held up well. As a retro design, it combines classic style with futuristic elements, so I believe it will always remain fashionable. At least for me, that is. – Keith Estiler, Managing Editor, Hypeart

JJJJound x ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 I AMP
This summer’s top sneaker pick is the JJJJound x ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 I AMP. Debuted during Paris Fashion Week, it seamlessly merges minimalist design with ultimate comfort by pairing a pure white mesh upper with understated off-white cushioning and stylish reflective accents. Its full-length GEL midsole and upgraded FF BLAST+ foam ensure all-day support, while its understated branding preserves a sophisticated aesthetic. Whether for urban outings or weekend escapes, it’s my ideal choice due to its effortless style and advanced construction, as noted by David White, Brand Partnerships.
adidas Evo SL “Cloud White/Royal Blue”
As I grow older, my preferences for footwear expand beyond looks and comfort, now including versatility. The Evo SL is perfect for various activities, from jogging to shopping, making it an ideal choice. It stands out particularly as a travel shoe due to its lightweight and functional design, allowing me to pack lighter by reducing the number of shoes I need to bring along. – Nick Llanton, Senior Social Producer
New Balance 1906R “Year of the Snake”
Originally, I wasn’t planning for the New Balance 1906R “Year of the Snake” to be my summer shoe choice. I was seeking a running shoe, and it could have been a New Balance or ASICS, but I wasn’t in a great hurry. The ideal pair should be directional yet discreet enough not to stand out excessively. Given that my summer was filled with continuous movement – traveling to work, fleeing the city, early-morning drives for golf tournaments – I required a shoe that could help me stay composed amidst chaos: lost keys, impromptu hikes, and unforeseen summer downpours.
One day, I found myself in a New Balance outlet in Clinton, Connecticut, eyeing a pair of “Year of the Snake” 1906Rs. Perhaps this reveals something about my priorities: I didn’t need the most fashionable pair; I needed something that worked well. Ever since that early June weekend, they have become an essential part of my rotation to such an extent that I’ve even contemplated purchasing a backup pair for storage, which is a clear sign of trust.
Although it might not be the most inconspicuous pair in the New Balance collection, considering a compact, versatile wardrobe centered around multifunctional pieces, a minor footwear adjustment can significantly alter an outfit’s atmosphere. And when I wear the 1906R, it always communicates what I need it to: I’m always on the move, but I’m taking my time.

FENTY x PUMA Cat Cleat Jelly “Pumpkin Pie”
As a devoted fan, let me share my enthusiasm for the FENTY x PUMA Cat Cleat Jelly – a striking summer sandal born from Rihanna’s legendary partnership with PUMA. This footwear masterpiece marries playful fashion and sporty allure, making it an unmissable addition to any wardrobe. The bold jelly cleat design and cushioned leather sole not only turn heads but also ensure maximum comfort.
Versatile is an understatement when describing these sandals. I’ve worn them on tropical getaways and city escapades alike, finding they effortlessly elevate my summer style. They strike the ideal balance between fun and functionality, making them a must-have for any fashion-forward individual like myself.

Willy Chavarria x Allen Edmonds Jalisco
As soon as I heard the sound of Willy Chavarria’s Allen Edmonds derby shoes hitting the runway during his debut Paris Fashion Week show in January, I knew I had to have their stylish charm in my collection. Similar to the runway itself, named “Tarantula,” which showcased Chavarria’s powerful dedication to highlighting his own historically marginalized symbols – these derby shoes are incredibly durable. For evidence, look at the slight wear you see in the image above, a result of navigating New York City’s challenging streets over the past few weeks. Officially known as “The Jalisco,” this design boasts a slim, split-toe shape with a robust Cuban heel. However, my favorite aspects can be found just above the thick platform: two small golden “W” and “C” letters can be found on the quarter, subtly winking at those following behind with a know-it-all smirk. – Dylan Kelly, Senior Editor
