One of the most anticipated sneakers of 2021, that has now ended up being delayed once again and rumoured to finally be releasing in 2022 is the sacai x Nike VaporWaffle ‘Sail/White’. That’s right, the shoe we’ve all been waiting for could be making an appearance in your collection within the next few months. But the question is, will it actually drop!?

The New Balance 550 certainly had a moment in ’21 and it seems the retro pair is set to continue its reign as one of the most-wanted silhouettes of the year into 2022. We’ve seen high-profile collabs, new colourways and now this newly unveiled UNITED ARROWS x New Balance 550 that puts a fresh spin on the old-school silhouette. Tokyo-based fashion label, UNITED ARROWS have teamed up with New Balance to create one of the cleanest 550s we’ve seen so far. No UK release date has been confirmed yet, but keep it locked for the latest updates.

2021 was the year of the Dunk, we saw more colourways of the iconic silhouette than we ever imagined, with women’s-exclusive pairs dropping almost every month! If you missed out on copping the Nike Dunk Low ‘Archeo Pink’ then the Dunk Low ‘Gypsy Rose’ is one you don’t want to miss. Painted in a similar white and bright pink colour scheme and dressed in tumbled leather, this pair is sure to be a must-cop.

JJJJound and New Balance have joined forces once again to create this upcoming JJJJound x New Balance 990v3. After the success of the 992 collab, it’s no surprise the two brands have collaborated once again and created yet another unmissable pair. We’re loving the khaki green colour scheme that dresses this newly released 990v3 that’s no doubt crafted from high-quality fabrics, as you’d expect from any NB. Will you be adding this upcoming release to your wishlist?

Add a pop of colour to your collection with the Air Jordan 1 Mid ‘Pink/Tan’, one of the cutest colourways to surface in 2021 that’s set to land next season! There’s no doubt this colourful J will brighten up every ‘fit, with bright-coloured overlays that add a touch of colour to the upper.

It seems our Dunk obsession is set to continue into the New Year with the unveiling of these two upcoming colourways. The Nike Dunk Low ‘Vast Grey’ is as premium as they come, decked out from heel to toe in soft suede and painted in the cleanest ‘Vast Grey’ colour palette, with touches of light cream across the toe box and sidewalls. If you’re a Dunk fan, this upcoming pair is sure to be on your ’22 sneaker wishlist.

That’s right, more Dunks are on the way and this Nike Dunk Low 'Harvest Moon' has made its way to the top of our must-cop list for the new year. The Swoosh brand continue the classic colour-block detailing with a fresh white upper, accented with dark tan details that give this iconic pair a vintage feel. Stay tuned for the latest updates no these two new Dunks dropping in 2022!

The Nike Dunk Low 'Paisley' pack surfaced just this month and already has made it to the top of our must-cop list for the new year. The light blue overlays paired with the Paisley print Swooshes make this one of the cutest pairs we've seen!

If you’re an Air Jordan 1 Mid lover then there’s a lot to look forward to next year, with a selection of new colourways already unveiled and more to come in the next few months. This neutral-hued pair uses various shades of brown and pink to create a tonal-looking J that we’re loving.
