This Week's Biggest Sneaker Releases, and Where to Get Them

This week is all about sneakers that blend a whole lot of design elements—think paneling, materials, and sole units—with super-minimal color schemes. The standard-bearer for that vibe, not surprisingly, is New Balance, which celebrates its annual "Grey Day" with two riffs on the 997 in the chilled-out hue that's become the brand's signature. But there's also a sneaker that riffs on the same sort of idea from Nike. And another, well, also from New Balance, but in collaboration with Engineered Garments this time. On the flip side, there are also more than a few just-bold-enough (Adidas) and bolder-than-bold (Nike, once more) options hitting shelves this week. It's a lot to take in, but we're giving it a shot. Read on to see everything in the mix.
