Q4 has hit us with the best surprise yet- a month packed full of sneaker releases, and no, we’re not exaggerating.
From the return of some of the most lauded silhouettes to eye-opening collaborations, September is setting the pace for what’s yet to come for the latter end of this sneaker year, and we’re going to take you through what you should be copping this month.
Stay tuned as there’s a lot of heat coming your way!
1. Pokémon x adidas Originals 30th Anniversary
Release Date: September 1st

It’s been 30 years of the Pokémon franchise, and adidas thought it was only right to celebrate this pivotal milestone with a flurry of reimagined classics. From Pikachu-Esque superstar additions to pastel Mewtwo Sambas, this collection blends storytelling and nostalgia into wearable art, taking you back to some of your most cherished childhood memories. There is truly something for everyone in this collection, with 12 signature designs to choose from. Are you gonna cop ‘em all?
2. Travis Scott x Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Ice Blue’
Release Date: September 4th
La Flame knows a thing or two about a great collaboration, and its latest remastering of an uptown classic has everyone on their toes. Following in the footsteps of its earlier 'Cactus Jack’ and 'Utopia’ predecessors, this one cools down the classic with an ice-blue palette, matched with an ostrich-inspired textured upper. Everything else remains faithful to the OG tooling, never a far cry from its uptown legacy.
3. Air Jordan 4 ‘Tour Yellow’
Release Date: September 5th

Sitting comfortably within the Jordan Brand’s Rare Air line, the Air Jordan 4 ‘Tour Yellow’ has maintained its cult-like status for a while, and now, 20 years after its initial debut, it finally makes a comeback. Staying almost identical to its OG tooling, it stuns in its crisp white tumbled leather upper, ‘Tour Yellow’ painted midsole with black speckled detailing. Plus, it also retains one of its most significant features, the removable hook-and-loop tongue that unveils the ‘Rare Air’ branding underneath. It’s history recreated in its purest form.
4. Comme des Garçons Homme Plus x Air Jordan 11
Release Date: September 5th
When it comes to minimalist design language, Comme des Garçons is at the upper echelons of it all, and they’ve only made another icon because of it. Enter their first-ever Air Jordan 11 collection, which is the definition of understated. One pair arrives in a stealthy black leather arrangement with glossy patented lowers, covering the mudguards and midsoles, with the crisp white version also following suit. The only fundamental difference, per se, is the ‘COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS’ heel insignias that deliver a branded completion.
5. Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble ‘Greedy’
Release Date: September 9th
One of Nike’s most colorful Air Max 95s is making its way back into the rotation, and the ‘Greedy’ is bringing all the nostalgia with it. Originally introduced as a mash-up of some of the silhouette’s most recognizable colorways, the returning favorite brings together flashes of Bright Mandarin, Grape, Solar Red, and signature Neon detailing across its layered upper. This time around, however, Nike is giving the icon a Big Bubble upgrade, bringing its retro construction closer to the original Air Max 95 blueprint. If you missed the ‘Greedy’ the first time around, consider this your second chance.
6. Simone Rocha x adidas Taekwondo Ballerina
Release Date: September 10th

Love them or hate them, sneakarinas have officially become one of the biggest style movements in footwear, and Simone Rocha is taking the trend somewhere decidedly more maximalist. Her latest adidas collaboration transforms the low-profile Taekwondo into a ballet-inspired statement, complete with ribbon lacing, pearl-like embellishments and diamanté detailing across the toe. It's delicate, theatrical and unmistakably Rocha, while still retaining the slimline DNA that made the Taekwondo a street-style favourite. With the balletcore trend showing no signs of slowing down, this could be one of September's most talked-about drops.
7. Vans Premium Old Skool 36 Pearlized ‘Yacht Club’
Release Date: September 10th
Vans is giving one of its most recognizable silhouettes a seriously glamorous makeover. The Premium Old Skool 36 Pearlized arrives with a distressed upper covered in pearl and crystal detailing, giving the skate staple an unexpectedly elevated finish. The debut ‘Yacht Club’ colorway draws inspiration from nautical sailing flags, mixing bold color blocking with the unmistakable attitude of '90s sportswear. It's still an Old Skool at heart, but with a whole lot more sparkle. For anyone looking to add a little personality to their autumn rotation, this one's worth keeping on the radar.
8. One Piece x Nike Air Max Plus ‘Devil Fruits’
Release Date: September 25th (Global launch date)
One Piece finally gets its own sneaker collaboration with Nike Air Max Plus, and it's already turning heads. One of the world’s most popular anime franchises enthrals in a 3-piece collection that takes design notes from the iconic Devil Fruits, with each rendition arriving in an eclectic color scheme. The ‘Gomu’ Monkey D. Luffy opts for a rich purple and yellow combination; the ‘Ope’ Trafalgar D. Law pair is reimagined in vibrant touches of burgundy and mint green. Finishing off the pack is the ‘Mera’ Portgas D. Ace, which boasts an electric orange and blue setup. For devoted collectors, there is also a limited run of cards that will be included with product purchases, so you’ll never miss a moment of fun.
9. Nike Air Bakin OG ‘Varsity Red’
Release Date: September 28th
Nike takes you back to ’97 with the Nike Air Bakin, gifting the new generation of collectors and basketball enthusiasts a taste of court nostalgia. From being laced up by court legends such as Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond, the silhouette’s vibrant court energy is now recreated for the modern world, keeping its traditional fiery red overlays and plush boot-like construction intact. Yellow laces continue to inject a pop of color up top, while soft black suede fills the gaps with a plush, understated feel.
