Another year flew by in the blink of an eye! It feels like just yesterday I copped my last pair of sneakers for 2023, and here we are, already debating which pairs to add to our rotation before stepping into a brand-new year. 2024 has been packed with exciting collaborations and releases—from JJJJound and Wales Bonner to A$AP Rocky, Aminé, and so many more!As we all know, December is the month of heat. With the holiday season in full swing, brands are pulling out all the stops to ensure we end the year on a high note.
Nike’s Kobe-lijn: Retro & Protro Heat
Nike has been ramping up releases of Retro and Protro models from the Kobe line. Among the standouts this month is the Air Force 1 “Kobe Bryant”, a tribute to the late legend that blends the iconic AF1 design with elements inspired by Kobe’s illustrious career. This is a must-have for die-hard AF1 and Kobe fans!
For the hoopers, Nike is also celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Kobe 9 Elite Protro 'Christmas' edition, a re-release of the 2014 original. If there’s one Kobe sneaker you need to add to your collection, this is it.
Nike is keeping us warm this winter with the Nike Air Max “Stash”, dropping on December 13. This release revisits the iconic 2006 collaboration, featuring a bold and icy colorway that remains one of the coldest designs ever created. If you missed out on the original, now’s your chance to own a piece of sneaker history!
Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Columbia/Legend Blue'
It wouldn’t be December without an Air Jordan 11 release. This year, the AJ11 Retro 'Columbia/Legend Blue' returns for the first time since 2014! With its crisp white upper and icy blue accents, this pair guarantees you’ll be the smoothest person at any holiday gathering.
Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Velvet Brown'
Speaking of hype, Jordan Brand continues its collaboration with Travis Scott with another banger: the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Velvet Brown'. Featuring a dark mocha suede upper, this pair is bound to sell out instantly. I haven’t copped one yet, but this might be my first Travis Scott release! Remember, if you snooze, you lose.

New Balance brings retro design elements into 2024 with the 1906L 'Blacktop/Phantom', a sneaker-loafer hybrid.

Its combination of vintage aesthetics and modern tech makes it a staple for both sneakerheads and fashion enthusiasts.
Puma Mostro 'Camo Wild Willow'
Puma has been quietly dominating 2024, and the Mostro 'Camo Wild Willow' is proof. This sleek, camo-inspired silhouette makes a statement while offering unmatched comfort. If the Puma Speedcat replaced your Dunks, the Mostro should be next in line.
