          It’s been less than a month since Rihanna released Fenty Beauty. Now, she’s back with her Spring ‘18 RTW Fenty x PUMA Collection, which includes Cleated Creepers. Just like original, the Cleated Creeper’s sales are expected to be phenomenal. Rihanna nor PUMA has told the public how many colorways there will be, but, two colorways were revealed at the line’s fashion show. These include the pre-released tan Creeper that came out this August, and a red, black and white pair with ankle cuffs. This drop of Cleated Creepers is sure to be another fan favorite.

          This release of the Adidas Tubular X 2.0 is a softer and more feminine vibe compared to the recent colorways on its men’s shoes. The two editions to the futuristic sneaker come in pink and light grey. Sadly, Adidas have not given a specific date for this shoe, but, it is set to release this fall. So, you’ll have to keep your eyes opened and be on the lookout for an official release date.

 

Men’s (For women too!)

Nike SF-AF1 High Release Date: November 1, 2017

Price: $200

          If you loved the Nike SF-AF1 Mid, but, aren’t a fan of shorter height shoes, the high-top version is the perfect sneaker for you. If you have a pair of jeans that you outgrew in length and aren’t ready to let them go, throw them on with these. No one will ever know and you’ll still look cute.

 

Pharrell Williams x Adidas NMD HU Trial Release Date: November 11, 2017

Price: $250

          Pharrell’s newest NMD collaboration with Adidas is a little pricier than the others, but, it’s worth it. Designed by the ageless style icon, these shoes are bound to be in high demand. With the vibrant, colorful decor and designs, this NMD will have your outfit go from regular to head-turning. More colorways can be found here.

 

Yeezy Boost V2 “Semi Frozen Yellow” Release Date: November 17, 2017

Price: $220

          You either love them or hate the “Semi Frozen Yellow” Yeezy Boosts. Either way, you’re still talking about them. We all know the hype and exclusiveness that comes with a Yeezy release, so, without a doubt, these are a must cop. Don’t get excited too fast because Yeezy’s are known to sell out in seconds. If you really want them, but, you know you’re not going to catch them in time, you can always buy from a reseller; but be prepared to spend more than the retail price of $220.

Kid’s/Grade School

Nike SF-AF1 Mid Black Release Date: October 3, 2017

Price: $95

          For all the small-foot people who fell in love with the Nike SF-AF1, but, can’t fit a men’s size, you’re in luck. This shoe also comes in grade school and kids sizes. The only downside is that you must wait two additional days after the men’s version drops, but at least you can still get them! If you do not want to wait for this release, other colorways of the SF-AF1 are currently available in grade school sizes.

 

Air Jordan 12 Bordeaux Release Date: October 14,2017

Price: $140

          Every week to two weeks an Air Jordan sneaker is released (or rereleased). This month, the Air Jordan 12 will be released in a fan favorite colorway, Bordeaux. With its rich wine color complimented by just the right amount of off-white, how could you resist? This shoe also comes in men’s sizes, though, at a price higher than the grade school size.

 

Air Jordan 13 Bordeaux Release Date: October 28, 2017

Price: $140

          If you love the color scheme of the 12’s but not the shoe design, maybe you’ll have better luck in two weeks with the release of the Air Jordan 13 Bordeaux. Although the 13’s have a weaker hue of wine and more off-white, the colors still complement each other well. Both the 12’s and 13’s run for the same price.
