VANS X OFFSPRING X CLOTHSURGEON SK8-HI & OLD SKOOL
Three heads are better than two, right? UK-based sneaker boutique Offspring teamed up with menswear designer Rav Matharu, also known as Clothsurgeon, on a collection of luxe Vans that celebrate British heritage and the impacts of streetwear. Two of Vans' most popular silhouettes—the Old Skool and the Sk8-Hi—are done up in rich suedes and veg tan leather. The typically lowbrow skate shoes have elements of broguing and zigzag cuts as a shoutout to classing British tailoring and footwear, as well as Matharu's signature designs. Watch for a very limited release to drop exclusively at Offspring and Selfridges.

NIKE LEBRON 13 LOW "LEBRON JAMES FAMILY FOUNDATION"
We don't typically include technical basketball sneakers in our weekly round-ups, but this pair of low kicks designed in collaboration with the LeBron James Family Foundation are worth the shout out. Nike has been slow on the rollout of information about these sneakers so we can't be sure if proceeds from these pairs will go to benefit LeBron's Foundation that serves underprivileged youth, but even if they merely get the foundation's name out there it's worth it. The shoes are grayscale and mismatched, with a black right sneaker and a white left sneaker. Splashes of color cover the outsole.

TIMBERLAND 6-INCH FIELD BOOT "DARK PORT"
One of the best things about fall is the chance to lace up in a new pair of boots. Timberland brings a refreshing look to its classic field boot with this Dark Port colorway. Our favorite is the 6" version, which offers significant heft and an iconic silhouette with just the right amount of color.

REEBOK QUESTION MID "DRESS CODE"
Jordan wasn't the only NBA player who got his ish banned on the court, and no one has committed more to their style than Allen Iverson. The flashy player's signature sneaker, the Question, is done up this week in his very own personal "Dress Code" that features the denim of his baggy jeans and wheat nubuck of work boots. Banned symbols on each heel bring the message home.

NIKE "SPECIAL FIELD" AIR FORCE 1

AIR JORDAN 1 HEIRESS "NIGHT MAROON"
Women get very little love from the sneaker industry, but this weekend is an exception. The velvet "Night Maroon" colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Heiress brings an underused material to a classic sneaker. The colorway is gender neutral enough that anyone can wear them (just make sure you get the right size; add 1.5 to your normal men's size). Don't let these get away.

PUMA X KICKSLAB DISC BLAZE "DESERT TROOPER"
Not everyone understands Puma's Disc and that's A-okay. The lacing system has been replaced with a tightening spinner in a design move that alienated plenty of more conservative dressers, but excited those who like something fresh. Japanese sneaker chain KicksLab took advantage of the silhouette with hairy suede in a sophisticated sand color that contrasts with black mesh on this very wearable version of the shoe.

VANS X BODEGA SK8-HI "INSTANT WINNER"
Legendary Boston sneaker institution Bodega challenges you to test your luck with this weekend's "Instant Winner" collaboration with Vans. The Sk8-Hi features rich pastels in blue, pink, and green offered in canvas and leather. A gum sole adds grip for this skate shoe, and an embroidered set of dice sits on the heel. Although there's no chance at play in the initial sale (everyone who pays will get a pair), each box also includes a scratch-off ticket for a shot at more winnings from the store.

NEW BALANCE MADE IN UK 770
If you're looking for an exceptionally well-made, relatively conservative pair of sneakers that will reveal your style with a little bit of sophistication, New Balance has the shoes for you. The 770 is a 1984 design that New Balance has started manufacturing at its Flimby factory in the UK, bringing handmade quality to an otherwise understated shoe. This weekend the brand is offering the sneaker in burgundy and tan.

NEW BALANCE MS066
With just 40 pairs made you don't have to like the New Balance MS066; it's going to sell out whether you understand it or not. The knit laceless silhouette sits on top of a 3D-printed sole and fits like a sock. The shoe is flexible and has a challenging look, but commands a high price on account of its innovative construction and limited availability. Head over to Concepts NYC to throw your name into the raffle now, with the drawing on November 5.

SAUCONY X EXTRA BUTTER SHADOW 5000 "FOR THE PEOPLE"
The Extra Butter x Saucony Shadow 5000 "For the People" releases on Election Day, a fitting sale date considering this sneaker was voted on by the public. A year ago Extra Butter made available a handful of designs for fans to vote on; the winner was produced. These sneakers, inspired by a "Nite At the Drive-In" reflect a classic 1950s car in baby blue.
