The Hottest Trainer Launches This Week

New Balance M585DR x Danner

You may not be much of a mountaineer, but that shouldn’t stop your footwear game reaching new heights. Teaming up to celebrate a shared love of American craftsmanship, Boston sneaker brand New Balance and Portland-based hiking specialist Danner have built a ready-for-anything version of the 585 from Horween leather and durable nylon.

Available from 12 November at End, priced £299.

Visvim Foley-Folk

Visvim may take most of its cues from Native American style, but the Japanese label’s perennial Foley-Folk silhouette is straight off the operating table. Back for another outing, the updated low-top sneaker is cut from the finest cowhide leather, with a surgically upgraded vulcanised sole unit and cork footbed.

Available at End, priced £575.

Newton Gravity V Low-Top Trainers

Pretty soon it’ll be time (again) to pledge to get fit. Make your efforts all the more stylish with a pair of runners from American brand Newton. Crafted from stretchy and breathable mesh in eye-popping lime green, the Gravity V model sits on top of a high-rebound sole for some of the most responsive shoes on the starting line.

Available at Newton, priced £140.

Puma Ignite 3 Evoknit

Here’s something for the weekend…from the Weeknd. The first sneaker to come out of the Grammy-winning artist’s tie-up with Puma, the foot-hugging Ignite Evoknit has gained a new all-white colourway. The sockliner silhouette holds on to its branded collar and energy-returning foam midsole. You just concentrate on feeling your face.

Available from 10 November at Amazon, priced £94.99.

Asics X Mita Gt-Cool Xpress Lotus Pond

Tokyo-based sneaker boutique Mita is taking another dip in Asics’ back-catalogue, this time updating the recently resurrected GT-Cool Xpress. Inspired by the Japanese lotus pond, the kicks feature a water resistant brown leather and suede construction inspired by the pond’s muddy bed, accompanied by contrasting pink flower-inspired accents.

Available from 12 November at End, priced £119.

Nike Sock Dart Premium

Men might have developed an aversion to socks (long live the mankle!) but they’re no less fans of sneakers that feel like sliding into a pair. Nike’s lightweight slip-on runner, the Sock Dart, takes on a new premium look this week, with a heathered jacquard knitted upper in a range of autumnal colourways, including maroon.

Available from 11 November at End, priced £95.
