It seems that every month there’s a new “it” shoe release you didn’t get your hands on. Maybe it was on your favourite moodboard account, or you’d seen it pictured on the foot of your favourite celebrity months before its release.


When searching for those coveted releases, you also run into the issue of homepage clutter. Finding different collaborations and quality sneakers can be a mission if you don’t know where to look, and trying not to miss anything is a full-time job. So, if for whatever reason you missed out on copping an anticipated drop recently—we’ve got you covered. Here’s a comprehensive list of releases you might have missed in the last month that you can still get your hands on. 

1. Jacquemus x Nike Air Humara "Ale Brown Gold"

Price: $240

Where to buy: Supply Store, Incu

French luxury brand Jacquemus and Nike partnered together for the first time on this Nike Pocket Knife and Humara crossbreed. The alternate colourway, “Light Bone”, sold out almost instantly. However, this colourway does an exceptional job at embodying the countryside-resort-styling and youthful hues that Simon Porte’s Jacquemus is best known for. While smaller sizes are mostly gone, bigger sizes are still available at Supply Store and Incu.

2. New Balance 9060 "Brown/Black"

Price: $220

Where to buy: Finesse/Highs And Lows/Incu

It may be the newest silhouette in New Balance’s 99X range, however, the 9060 show no signs of slowing down. The contemporary silhouette has already received plenty of love from New Balance collaborator, Joe Freshgoods,​​​​ but this subtle brown colour feels more like something out of JJJound’s playbook. You can still pick up this modernist masterpiece online at Finesse, Highs And Lows and Incu.

3. Salomon XT-4 "Bitter Chocolate/Mocha Mousse"

Price: $320

Where to buy: Above The Clouds/Salomon 

The Salomon XT-4 is the perfect silhouette for subtle colour gradients, and the chunky, line-heavy design provides the perfect canvas for tasteful, eye-catching hues. This “Bitter Chocolate” colourway does all of the above, and you can pick them up online at Above The Clouds and Salomon.

4. ASICS GEL-1130 x Naked "White/Pure Silver"

Price: $180

Where to buy: Subtype Store/Finesse

Women’s sneaker retailer Naked Copenhagen dropped their second Asics collaboration this month, opting for this light mint colourway. Consumers can keep their conscience clear with this vegan friendly shoe, that features a faux leather and recycled mesh upper—perched atop an elegant eggshell sole. They’re still available to cop at Subtype Store and Finesse.

5. Nike Air Kukini "Khaki/Dark Chocolate"

Price: $190

Where to buy: Supply Store/Laced

Air Max heads everywhere have been revelling in the return of the Air Kukini, a shoe that has been out since 2000. This iteration features a tonal rust colourway that provides the perfect contrast for the tech-heavy silhouette, and gives each segment its own unique shade—highlighting the web-caging in a beautifully garish way that only the Kukini can. You can find them over at Supply Store and Laced.
