7 Must-Haves for Your Spring Rotation

adidas Country x Kamanda ‘Footwear White’

Originally released as part of the ‘Never Made’ collection that debuted in 2018, the Country x Kamanda epitomises adi’s old-meets-new designs from the range. The unique, wavy sole unit pairs perfectly with the old upper of the Country – so perfectly, in fact, that non–Three Stripes aficionados would be hard pressed to even realise that this was a hybrid. For spring, you can’t go wrong with a classic white/black execution either, and adidas have obliged with the latest version of the design.

Vans Era BMX ‘True Navy’

Archival graphics have long been a go-to for Vans, and their old school BMX offerings are some of the greatest, expertly recreating and resurrecting the best that the sport’s heyday had to offer. Sk8-His and Eras were always the BMX line’s staples – with the low-top Era, in particular, being perfectly suited for the warmer weather.

adidas Stan Smith Cloud White/Collegiate Green

Understated classics will always be crucial to springtime style, and the adidas Stan Smith is one of the best around. A truly unimpeachable classic, the timeless tennis silhouette has been kept fresh with premium executions and subtle updates over the years. Case in point: this season’s Cloud White/Collegiate Green drop. Not only does it sport buttery leather construction, it also comes with a subtle update to the shoe’s prototypical green heel.

PUMA LQDCELL Optic Sheer

If you’re looking for something a little more technical to rock this season, PUMA have you covered with the LQDCELL Optic Sheer. The shoe’s upper is one of the most unique designs you’re likely to come across this spring, employing layers of dynamic colour throughout a chunky retro-inspired silhouette. Think of these as the perfect warm weather followup to the German sportswear giant’s fan-favourite Thunder – and one made all the more comfortable by PUMA’s hexagonal LQDCELL cushioning tech.

Reebok Club C White/Metallic Silver

For far too long, many women’s sneakers were quite stereotypical, sporting pink and purple with floral details, season after season. Thankfully, there's now some diversity, with brands like Reebok cleverly reimagining exactly what it means to craft a women’s exclusive. This season’s Club C features scalloped edges on the heel and tongue, which add some feminine flair to a tried-and-true execution.

Karhu Fusion 2.0 Bright White/Marlin

Amongst all of Karhu’s retro staples, the Fusion 2.0 is arguably the best, and traditionally lends itself well to fall and winter drops thanks to its mountaineering-inspired details. However, this season’s Bright White/Marlin colourway is tailor-made for warmer climates, sporting a clean white base with bright yellow nylon overlays and smooth purple suede. The result is the perfect retro-inspired silhouette for hitting the trail this spring.

Superga 2750 Cotu Classic ‘Peach Coral’

Few sneakers have stood the test of time quite like the 2750 Cotu Classic: Superga have been producing the silhouette since 1911, so you know it has an unquestionable pedigree. To help sweeten the deal, the ‘Peach Coral’ colourway is one of our favourites, lending a little contemporary spring/summer spunk to the century-old cotton canvas design.
