Autumn might have crept upon us, but there's plenty of heat coming our way throughout September to fight the dropping temperatures. From the Air Jordan 4 'London' and Joga Bonito Air Max to adidas joining forces with Blackpink's Jennie, here's what we're feeling in the month ahead.
AirJordan 4 'London'
The Jordan Brand is turning its attention to The Big Smoke for the latest in its series of city-inspired drops. Joining the likes of the Jordan 1 Low ‘Paris’, 'Shanghai' and 'Tokyo' editions of the Air Jordan 5, and the Air Jordan 3 ‘Seoul’, the Air Jordan 4 ‘London’ comes wrapped in a stealthy black-grey nubuck upper, terracotta accents and a bespoke ‘LDN’ stamp accompanying the Nike Air heel branding.
Cars x Crocs Dinoco
The viral Lightning McQueen Crocs are back to break the internet…again. This time around, Crocs’ somewhat surprisingly grailed collaboration with Pixar’s Cars sees the clog decked out in electric Dinoco blue, complete with a spoiler-shaped heel strap.
Nike Air Rift Pony Hair
Nike’s spit-toe Air Rift is getting a seasonal switch-up, merging the shoe’s traditional Japanese aesthetics with increasingly in-demand pony hair uppers. The new textured takes will release in three colourways: Black, Dark Driftwood and a striking Old Royal Blue.

Jennie x adidas Superstar Square Ballet
adidas has reignited its link-up with Blackpink’s Jennie, unveiling a full apparel capsule and a square-toed Mary Jane interpretation of the legendary Superstar. Arriving in both black and white, the shoe leans heavily into the classic dance aesthetic, tying the familiar Superstar toe box to a ballet-flat bow and adding an elasticated strap for extra support.
1890A Cow Print
Bridging the gap between formality and casual comfort, New Balance has given its 1890A runner-loafer hybrid another animal-themed makeover, this time wrapping it in hairy suede cow print for an eye-catching autumnal moccasin...that isn't really a moccasin.
Pokémon x adidas Superstar Charmander
Pokémon’s 30th anniversary celebrations have thrown out all kinds of crazy collabs, including a pretty sizeable footwear run with adidas. A standout among them is a Charmander-toned riff on the Superstar, painting the iconic silhouette in cream leather, burnt orange, and fiery detailing.
Nike Air Force 1 Low Black Polka Dot
Dipping the Air Force 1 in bold, polka-dot monochrome is a BIG yes from us. Featuring a triple-black upper, punctuated with off-white circles, the shoe feels elegant and grounded, but statement-making all at once…a little Coco Chanel, dare we say?
Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS Gel-Kinetic FR
The latest collaborative release from Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen and ASICS sees them muster up a nature-infused Gel-Kinetic FR, a shoe shaped by the ‘energy of flowers in motion’. Integrating lightweight materials and ASICS’ signature techy innovation, the playful design merges patent leather, mesh and floral motifs with reworked lacing and a striking strap system over foot.
Nike Air Max Joga Bonito R9 Brazil
Reimagining the fabled 98 Mercurial boot donned by Ronaldo Nazário, R9 to most, the Nike Air Max Joga Bonito takes that unmistakable silver-blue-yellow colourway and plants it atop the cushioning of an Air Max 95 Sole. Football-streetwear crossovers are no new phenomenon, but this one... it feels that bit more special.
