Esquire Sneaker Ticker: We're starting the new year with these 5 long-awaited sneaker releases!

New year, new sneakers? Finally one, which we undertake, not out of a bad conscience, half-heartedly pursue for two weeks, only to then give up on it again in resignation. Seriously, goals that are too ambitious and unrealistic expectations are of no use anyway, except maybe. That's why it's better to stack deep andMake resolutions that you really want to make. Like new sneakers, for example.We have a few ideas.

You will also know in 2025 thanks to oursalways,which new releases are coming upandwhere you can get the most exciting shoe trends. This week, for example, the "Black 'n White" sneaker fromNikeat the start, which triggers the first sneaker hype of the year even before its release. We have a total of five new sneakers for you with which you are guaranteed not to go wrong in 2025 - and finally the new yearstart. Namely: always looking cool.

If you've been wondering which sneaker will replace the hype surrounding the adidas Samba in 2025, we now have a clear favorite: the new "Black 'n White" sneaker fromNike. It comes from the Nike Dunk Low family and, similar to the Samba, has a dark brown rubber sole and black and white leather outerwear. The most important requirement for a shoe trend is that you can always wear it and combine it with anything. The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro can do that with your left hand. And if you don't feel like wearing black sneakers - the color scheme is also available in "White 'n Black".Release date: January 4th

Retro sneakers were, are and will remain a huge sneaker trend in 2025.New Balancehas launched a suitable model in the past few days, the 997, which originally came onto the market in 1990, was revised in recent years and has now become part of the Made in USA seasonal collection for the first time. The sneaker is characterized by its classic, wedge-shaped silhouette, its high heel pad and the material mix of mesh, suede and suede. The neutral color palette is beige and gray tonesnow available for 240 euros.

Bodegacloses the year 2024 with a new oneAsics-Collab, which is intended to build on the success of past collaborations (for example the Gel-Kayano 20 "Small Winds Add Up" released in September). The model is now called “Success in Small Batches” and impresses with an asphalt-colored colorway with dark green, neon yellow and blue color accents – very subtle, of course. So subtle that the sneaker can be perfectly combined with baggy jeans and chinos.will remain with us in the coming year. Lucky. The Bodega x Asics sneaker isavailable now.

Anyone who wants the Dunk Low fromNike– perhaps the best alternative to the adidas Samba – but likes to make a clear statement, is well advised with the new colorway “Picante Red”. It wasn't that long ago that there werethe hottest shit among shoe trends. That has changed in recent years, but could tip back in favor of eye-catching sneakers in 2025. Then it's better to take precautions now and get the cool Nike Dunk Low. It's even made from fine suede. The only disadvantage: thisSneaker-Release started on 01 Januaryat 9 a.m. We would advise getting up, ordering and going back to sleep.

Even though we now(for example the "Black 'n White" sneaker from Nike), we obviously can't start the new year without introducing a new Samba model. That wouldn't live up to the hype in 2024. In addition, hasadidasWe've put a lot of effort into creating a special edition that's completely different to the classic models. The silhouette and basic structure remain the same, but the outerwear (smooth leather) and the color scheme (exclusively cognac brown) of the Samba Brogue Pack "Dust Rust" change. Simple and elegant instead of colorful and sporty - why not?Available from January 1st at midnight. Then you can tackle your fashionable New Year's resolutions straight away.
