Sandro.
If there’s one thing this season’s footwear taught us, it’s that designers can’t quite agree on what’s the best way to step out to enjoy the weather. One moment we’re deep in skate park nostalgia with Casablanca and the next we’re pirouetting into ballet flats via COS. Elsewhere, summer living gets a proper moment in the sun, whether that’s Havaianas teaming up with TwoJeys on jewellery-inspired toe rings for flip flops, or Sandro expanding its Light Wave trainer into fresh colourways built for warm weather dressing. To help you navigate the chaos, Schön! has selected the standout footwear drops dominating the global style index right now.
ASICS x EMPTY BEHAVIOR.
Kicking things off, ASICS SportStyle has teamed up again with Los Angeles label EMPTY BEHAVIOR on the HYPERSYNC, a shoe built around a theme they’re calling “Powerette.” The idea fuses the strength of wrestling with the poise of classical dance, hence the playful suffix nod to female dancers. Structurally, it borrows the low-profile silhouette from wrestling shoes while channelling something closer to a ballet flat in its fluidity underfoot, translating explosive movement into something altogether more graceful. It’s an unusual pairing that somehow makes complete sense once you see it.
Available from July 19 through ASICS channels and selected retailers.
Casablanca.
From dance floors to skate parks, Casablanca continues to build out its Del Mar sneaker, one of the house’s fastest-growing hits since launching in the SS25 ‘Can’t Get Enough’ collection. The name pays homage to the legendary Del Mar Skate Ranch in California, the spiritual home of skateboarding through the 1980s, and the design leans hard into that era with canvas panelling, chunky laces and a kidney pool-shaped logo referencing the swimming pools skaters once treated as makeshift ramps. New seasonal colourways now join the original green and white and off-white and sand pairs, including a croco-textured blue suede alongside Casablanca’s signature red, navy, black and green tones.
Available now online and at Casablanca flagships in Los Angeles and Paris.
COS.
COS.
Staying in a similarly laidback register, COS has turned its attention to ballet-inspired footwear for the new season, softening things up with khaki and powder pink alongside classic neutrals. Made from soft satin, the trainers keep a streamlined shape with a flexible split sole built for walking, while the accompanying ballet flats bring a square toe and buttery leather lining to the mix.
Available now online and in selected COS stores worldwide.
Dior.
Precision takes over at Dior, where Jonathan Anderson has turned his attention to the house’s Médaillon shoe. Built on the bones of a classic Italian loafer, the design carries the Dior Medallion, an emblem dating back to 1947, positioned delicately on the vamp so it reads as understated. Anderson has prioritised comfort as much as heritage here, opting for a supple leather sole and proportions built for actual daily wear.
Available later this year through Dior boutiques and online.
Ferragamo.
Sport and craftsmanship collide again at Ferragamo, whose new Citymatch capsule takes its cues from movement and competitive energy. The collection spans sneakers, ready-to-wear and travel-ready leather goods in punchy shades of green, blue and red, with the low-top sneakers borrowing details from athletic footwear, including a stitched overlapping upper and a fold-over tongue featuring an oversized Gancini. It’s Ferragamo’s artisanal know-how filtered through a sportier lens.
Available now at Ferragamo boutiques and online.
Havaianas x TwoJeys.
Jewellery meets beachwear next as Havaianas and TwoJeys reunite for round two of their partnership, this time introducing three limited-edition toe rings designed to double as statement jewellery or be styled directly onto Havaianas flip flops. Born from a Brazil-meets-Barcelona sensibility, the collection celebrates Havaianas’ heritage alongside TwoJeys’ distinctive approach to craftsmanship, with the rings sold alongside classic Havaianas TOP flip flops in black, yellow and green. A bespoke studded flip flop and chain TOP were also created as one-off art pieces, unavailable for purchase but serving as the collaboration’s creative anchor.
Available now online and in TwoJeys stores.
Kith x New Balance.
Kith x New Balance.
Sneaker anniversaries rarely come more considered than Kith’s fifteenth, marked with the debut of the 2011, its first-ever original New Balance silhouette after more than 30 prior collaborations between Ronnie Fieg and the brand. Developed alongside designer Sam Pearce, the shoe combines a newly built multi-panel upper with ABZORB tooling borrowed from the New Balance 2002, arriving in four colourways named Bark, Redwood, Leaf and Sakura that trace the pair’s fifteen-year relationship through watercolour packaging depicting a growing tree. The Bark and Redwood pairs remain exclusive to the new New Balance at Kith store in West Hollywood.
Available now at Kith stores worldwide, online and the Kith app.
Sandro.
Colour takes the spotlight again at Sandro, which has expanded its Light Wave trainer with four fresh interpretations. An off-white leather version, crafted from LWG Gold-certified leather, keeps things timeless, while a satin blue pairing mixes suede and satin for textural depth. Come August, a satin red edition and a multicolour version combining purple, brown, yellow and pink will round out the story, leaning into a bolder, more graphic mood. Together the colourways show just how far a single silhouette can stretch across different moods and seasons.
Off-white leather and satin blue available now online and in boutiques, with satin red and multicolour landing in August.
VEJA.
VEJA.
Handcraft gets its moment with VEJA’s second collaboration with Sashiko Gals, a collective of women artisans from Ōtsuchi, Japan, who hand-finish each shoe using sashiko stitching, a repair technique with roots stretching back to the 17th century. Reimagining VEJA’s Salar sneaker exclusively for Casestudy Boon The Shop Cheongdam, the design pairs urban styling with a durable Vibram sole, and with only 12 pairs made, each one carries a genuinely unique stitched pattern.
Available now exclusively at Casestudy Boon, The Shop Cheongdam, Seoul.
Vivienne Westwood.
Rounding things off, Vivienne Westwood debuts the Drunken Trainer for Autumn/Winter 2026, built on the label’s established Worlds End Hammerhead Trainer silhouette. The twisted, asymmetric upper draws on the house’s celebrated ‘drunken’ pattern cutting technique, first introduced back in the Spring/Summer 2000 ‘Summertime’ collection, where irregularity became a design philosophy in its own right. Signature details carry through, including a burgundy and gold woven label and an embossed foil orb, offered in either distressed black leather or an iridescent snake-effect print.
Available later this year at Vivienne Westwood boutiques and online.
