SNEAKER CULTURE IN 2025? Let’s just say it’s having a very collaborative moment. From Loewe’s ultra-slick link-up with On — equal parts performance and chic — to Wales Bonner’s latest collab with Adidas, which continues to lace heritage with high fashion, this year’s best sneakers are coming in pairs… of brands, that is.

Whether it’s sequinned Sambas, sculptural running shoes, or unexpected twists on old-school silhouettes, the only rule seems to be: go bold or go home.

These are the 10 collabs making the biggest moves (on foot and in fashion) so far this year.

10 best sneaker collabs for men in 2025

Wales Bonner x Adidas Karintha Lo Shoes

These aren’t your average sneakers. Wales Bonner and adidas return with a sharp low-top in rich brown and a sequinned counterpart that riffs on retro athleticism. Luxe but low-key — trainers built to carry you from day to night.

On x THE ROGER Pro

Co-created with the one and only Federer, THE ROGER Pro is built for serious play — on and off the court. Available in black, white, or sand, it pairs carbon tech with tailored support for fast lateral moves and a locked-in fit. Clean, high-performance, and court-approved.

MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon Spectur 2 Sneakers

Salomon’s tech meets MM6’s offbeat cool in the Spectur 2. All-black with a chunky rubber sole, padded ankle, and that subtle logo hit — this is performance gear reworked for the style set.

Y-3 x Adidas Country 3 Sneakers

Y-3 and Adidas team up on the Country 3 sneaker— a modern take on a classic silhouette. In all-black with panelled detailing, a flat rubber sole, and signature 3-Stripes, it’s understated, sleek, and built for everyday wear.

LOEWE X On Cloudventure 2.0 Sneaker

A standout from the LOEWE x On collab, the Cloudventure 2.0 is our favourite yet. Featuring an oversized Anagram and marble-effect sole, it’s comfort-driven and city-ready. Our go-to shades? Khaki, sand and black — no contest.

Wales Bonner Silver x Brown Adidas Originals Edition MN Samba Sneakers

Now on sale, these Wales Bonner x Adidas Sambas combine silver lamé, croc-embossed leather, and satin lining. Polished enough for evening, effortless enough for every day.

Jordan x Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low OG

Crafted in Italy, the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG lands in velvet brown and dark mocha. Luxe leather, suede panelling, and signature Swooshes make them a rare find — now even harder to resist.

Adidas x Song For The Mute Country OG “Bronze” Sneakers

A classic, but a chic classic. The Adidas x Song for the Country OG lands in a camel brown hair, finished with a drawstring fastening and a logo patch at the front.

Junya Watanabe x New Balance Low-Top Sneakers

Junya Watanabe x New Balance serve up a sleek, low-key sneaker in all black — leather, mesh, and tape layered just right. Style them up with tailored trousers or down with jeans — they’ll pull their weight either way.

Comme Des Garçons Shirt x Asics Gel-Nunobiki Sneakers

Now on sale and nearly gone, the CDG Shirt x Asics Gel-Nunobiki comes in electric blue or lime green. With GEL™ cushioning and signature stripes, they’re bold, different for some, breathable, and built to move. Don’t wait.
