The sneaker game is at its peak, with the brands dropping multiple colourways and designs weekly. So to make up for trashing your new white adidas on the weekend that you regrettably wore to a gig, have three best sneaker drops that happened over the weekend.
1. ADIDAS SAMBA OG
Created for the frozen pitches of the soccer field in the 1950s, this old timer made the iconic three stripes what it is today.
Sticking to the classic crisp white leather outer against the stark black stripes, the model also features a suede cap toe, embellished blue tongue and a dark gum sole.
W&W // Available on Sneaker Politics // RRP $119 AUD
2. SAUCONY SHADOW 5000 ‘LETTERMAN’
Most of us never want to enter the school hallways again, though Saucony new ‘Letterman’ edition to the Shadow 500 range is tempting us.
Taking inspiration from the iconic American ‘Letterman’ jacket, the sneaker balances its traditional wool outer with an embellishment of black leather. The two materials start at the tongue with the stand out piece of a chenille lettered ‘S’ and end at a gum rubber sole.

3. SAUCONY GRID 8000 ‘JERSEY PACK’
A sports fit with a contemporary luxe look, the Saucony GRID 8000 ‘Jersey Pack’ has developed from the tech based shoe it was two decades ago to a street fashion favourite.
With its Wolverine Silkee Suede Upper, the sneakers sleek design is complimented with natural beige tones and dark grey upper with it’s fitted padded collar. Also featuring their iconic G.R.I.D. system (Ground Reaction Inertia Device), the tech element had been designed to simultaneously absorb shock and control mediolateral motion aka stability — science.
