In today’s modern day era sneakers have become a revolution they are no more a utility and simple footwear. And to make it more fascinating and desirable for all the sneaker enthusiasts, sneakers started collaborating with big names. Big brands or big names collaborate with sneaker brands not only to make iconic sneaker line but also to make big money for each other.
There are many sneaker collaborations few bad and many iconic and i have collected few best of the best sneaker collaborations ever made. let’s take a moment to just enjoy some of the greatest sneaker collaborations in history.
1 | Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Chicago’ (2017)
We just can’t talk about the greatest sneaker collaborations of all-time without bringing up the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Chicago.’
Back in 2017 part of the original ‘The Ten’ collection that took the trainer world by storm. The Legendary and late Virgil Abloh took the first Jumpman Sneaker and gave it his signature deconstructed makeover. In a decades time we’ll still be talking about this shoe.
2 | Staple x Nike SB Dunk Low ‘NYC Pigeon’ (2005)
When our grandkids’ grandkids sit down to chat about kicks, there’s a huge chance they’ll bring up the Staple x Nike SB Dunk Low ‘NYC Pigeon.’ Hype surrounding the skateboarding silhouette is pretty crazy at the moment, but it’s nothing like it was back in 2005.
3 | Raf Simons x Adidas Ozweego Bunny ‘Core White’ (2017)
The Raf Simons x Adidas Ozweego Bunny ‘Core White’ is probably a controversial choice, but there’s no debating how much influence it had on the sneaker industry.
4 | Pharrell Williams x Adidas NMD Hu ‘Yellow’ (2016)
A collaboration that supercharged the NMD silhouette’s popularity, the Pharrell x Adidas NMD Hu ‘Yellow’ is still considered by many to be one of the most sought-after Three Stripes shoes even after all this time.
5 | Salehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Clog ‘Stratus’ (2022)
Who said Crocs can’t be cool? Definitely not Salehe Bembury, that’s for sure. While the Colorado-based company’s clogs are no doubt a cult hit, they lack a little bit of finesse.
6 | Sean Wotherspoon x Nike Air Max 1/97 ‘Light Blue Fury’ (2017)
There was a time in sneaker history when the Sean Wotherspoon x Nike Air Max 1/97 ‘Light Blue Fury’ was the only thing that people talked about. A love letter to ’80s thrift stores, it combined the upper from the Air Max 97 with the midsole of the Air Max 1.
7 | Dior x Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Wolf Grey’ (2020)
Let’s shift our minds back to the beginning of 2020. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and that little cough turned out to be… well. Then, as if out of nowhere, Kim Jones completely turned the trainer world on its head by announcing the Dior x Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Wolf Grey.’
One of the most premium Air Jordans that we’ve ever seen.
8 | JJJJound x New Balance 992 ‘Green’ (2020)
While it was tough to pick the Montreal-based platform’s best collaboration, we have to hand it to 2020’s JJJJound x New Balance 992 ‘Green.’ Crafted from lush green pigskin suede, it’s at the top end of premium NBs
9 | Wales Bonner x Adidas Samba ‘Core Black’ (2023)
Over the past three years, the British designer has worked on a total of 12 Samba colourways, but this understated version is still a firm fave.
10 | Adidas Y-3 Qasa High ‘Triple Black’ (2013)
Out of all the hundreds of styles, silhouettes, and colourways that they’ve released over the years, the Adidas Y-3 Qasa High ‘Triple Black’ will always be the best of the bunch. Outrageously futuristic even by today’s standards, it was brought back in 2022 to celebrate its big birthday.
