New Balance, Umbro, Puma, Nike and Autry: Five cutting-edge trainer collaborations

Published
October 3, 2025

Autumn is here, and with it a slew of sneaker collaborations: sportswear brands are teaming up with ready-to-wear labels, from one-offs to capsule collections, spanning minimalism, nostalgia and sporting references. These drops underscore the sneaker’s versatility — and its ability to reinvent itself.

Nike X Jacquemus

Nike and Jacquemus have unveiled a new take on the Moon Shoe, originally handcrafted by Bill Bowerman in 1972.

True to the original and its waffle sole, this version features a ruched nylon upper, a leather Swoosh and an outsole that together lend it a streamlined profile, inspired by modern ballet and athletic performance. Offered in pale yellow, black and red, it marks the fourth collaboration between Nike and the southern French label. Launching at the Jacquemus flagship on Rue Montaigne, the pair will be available for €180 in selected Nike boutiques from October 6.

UmbroXRains

The Rains × Umbro sneaker forms part of the first collaboration between the two brands, the Apply Pressure collection.

It revisits the Fusion model with a pared-back aesthetic, a low profile and exposed seams inspired by football shirts, smooth surfaces contrasted with more pronounced textures, and a graphic interplay between the Rains and Umbro logos. The pair comes in solid black or black with off-white accents, priced at €129.

New Balance X Ganni

From the outset, the Ganni × New Balance 1906L stands out, striking a balance between the energy of a running shoe and the elegance of a moccasin.

The silhouette sits on a rubber sole set off by the Danish brand’s signature serpent motif. At the front of the shoe, the loafer-style strap detail is reimagined with a metal Ganni butterfly alongside the New Balance logo. Presented during Paris Fashion Week, the pair retails at €190.

Puma X Louis Gabriel Nouchi

Puma and LGN embrace minimalism with the Mostro Sock, a contemporary reinterpretation of the Mostro.

The design swaps the strap for an ankle-high sock, while retaining the original’s lugged, textured sole. Offered in black and khaki, the pair combines a breathable textile upper with a functional heel pull tab. Inspired by the codes of running and football, it also features a laceless slip-on system. The pair is priced at €170 for the high-top and €150 for the low-top.

AutryXKitsuné

The Autry × Maison Kitsuné Medalist sneaker (€220) revisits an iconic 1980s model with a Franco-American twist.

This silhouette retains its clean, athletic lines while adding a Parisian touch, in two colourways: navy and red. Retro tones, sport-inspired details and a co-branded varsity logo featuring the Kitsuné fox reinforce its vintage, collectable spirit.
