Another week, another sneaker release.
In the life of a sneakerhead, there is never such a thing as “too many sneakers.” As much as we despise our weekly Ls and (attempted) early morning purchases, there is something about that one successful cop that continues to make sneakers so addicting. Whether it is 1985 or 2021, I don’t expect that feeling to go away anytime soon.
Adidas terrex ax4 mid gore-tex hiking shoes core black carbon grey four fy9638 NICE PICKS, the team here at Stefoy-les-lyonShops (see what we did there?) wants to help you fuel that feeling. We’ve sifted through the noise to select our top sneaker releases for this week, ranging from in-line sneakers to high-profile collaborations. Click on the headlines to read more details about the discussed sneakers, including more photos and a purchase destination.
