The dad shoe trend is still going strong, and Zappos and New Balance are offering a fresh take.

In celebration of Zappos’ 20th anniversary, the e-tailer is partnering with a new brand each month on limited-edition footwear. For October, the New Balance Classics 574 sneaker got a fresh update.

The Classics 574 features a black upper with neon accents, inspired by the lights of Las Vegas, home to Zappos headquarters. The shoe is made of suede and mesh, with a rubber outsole and padding at the tongue and collar.

The New Balance x Zappos sneaker is available to shop now on Zappos.com for $80. It is offered in unisex sizing.

For its 20th anniversary, Zappos will partner with a total of seven brands by the year’s end. The e-commerce site kicked things off by teaming up with Birkenstock; it has also released shoes in collaboration with Sam Edelman, Asics and Toms to date. (Like the New Balance sneakers, the Toms collab had a Las Vegas theme.)

As the anniversary celebrations wind down, still to come are Zappos x Brooks running sneakers in November (the shoes will have a birthday theme and smell like vanilla cake) and, just in time for the holidays, a cozy, Fair Isle-inspired Ugg collab with boots and slippers.

All 20th birthday releases can be shopped exclusively at Zappos.com.
