Foot Locker is also launching a limited-edition book in partnership with Sneaker Freaker and Nike, which includes the history of the TN.

Since 1998 Foot Locker has been the Home of TN, a timeless sneaker that has left an indelible mark on the world of streetwear, becoming an iconic silhouette for Foot Locker and a much-loved style by the sneaker community.

The TN has cemented itself at the heart of culture, creating its own ‘TN community’ thanks to the launch of hundreds of limited editions, colourways and hyper-local designs such as the recent ‘Marseille’ release which take inspiration from and represent cultural diversity and local communities.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of TN, Foot Locker empowered the passionate sneaker community with a vote on their social channels to determine the top four TNs of all time.

Whittling the candidates down to a final 16 was the first challenge, before a series of battles inspired over 150,000 votes from around the globe to land on four finalists.

These four finalists have been blended to make the new, exclusive, and mesmerising hybrid, ‘TN 25th’. It features tough all-black midsoles which are enhanced with an eye-popping asymmetric fade that veers from ‘Sanguine’ on the medial side to ‘Hyper Blue’ via ‘Fireberry’ while the ‘Palm’ motif from the classic 2019 edition of the same name is subtly sublimated into the mesh.

TN 25th (RRP £184.99) and Sneaker Freaker Book (RRP £39.99) will be available at Foot Locker stores across Europe and online from 9th November 2023.

On launches the Cloudaway. Born in the Swiss mountains, the all-new hybrid outdoor shoe signals a new spirit of traveling: move mindfully, go slower, stay longer, be fully present–no matter if wanderlust carries you far away or to paradise next door. 

The Cloudaway fuses traditional footwear techniques with high-performance engineering. Intricate stitching locks its mesh upper to a vegan suede mudguard to merge adventure-ready durability and street-ready style. Wherever the Cloudaway may roam, it will always be connected to its source, the Engadin Valley–On’s home and inspiration, embossed as a 3D map on its sole. 

This adventure shoe delivers all-day comfort with a tailored Speedboard® for a smooth rolling motion and soft step-in thanks to On’s signature CloudTec® sole. Mindfully designed with sustainable materials, the Cloudaway’s vegan suede leather and lightweight mesh upper is engineered from 85% recycled content. Taking notes from the classic Cloud speed-lacing system, the Cloudaway features a re-engineered slip-on design; single-toggle elastic laces that nod to an outdoor aesthetic while providing a quick lock-in and secure fit. The midsole is closed for stone-catching prevention.

Pack this companion to fit whatever environment the moment brings. The Cloudaway is the shoe for travelling life’s many paths, be it streets or the switchbacks ahead.

The Cloudaway will be released in eight colourways: 

Women: Almond | Glacier, Black | Rock, Ice | Chili

Men: Bronze | White, Ink | White, Black | Rock

There comes a time in every man’s life where you’ll consciously become aware of your own evolution, the age of “man” actually is compiled of different chapters and these chapters all reveal both a change in wisdom, maturity but also your image.

At some point you would need to start “dressing your age” and “dressing like a dad” doesn’t mean you have to enter a realm of a fashion faux-pas, you just need to do it differently.

A key staple of this footwear. The mature man’s wardrobe should include footwear to suit a variety of occasions and work across multiple outfits. Your footwear should be chosen carefully and be versatile such a driving-shoe, loafer, monk-straps and brogues but another staple is the white sneaker.

Smart casual is a tricky grey area for most but one thing we do know is that your Jordans, Yeezys, Stan Smiths and Air Force 1’s are going to have to sit this one out.

We’ve compiled a list of our favourite white sneakers that can be worn to dinner, worn with shorts for a summer pub lunch, with a high-end tracksuit at the airport and everything in between.

Legendary sneaker designer and Nike Hall of Famer Tinker Hatfield has so many iconic sneakers in his portfolio that it’s pretty easy to lose count, However, one that has been etched into the minds of sneakerheads worldwide is the Nike Air Huarache.

Released back in 1991 the Huarache was made to be a no-nonsense running shoe that would be stripped back to the bare essentials, most noticeably with the absence of the Nike Swoosh altogether.

The Huarache was named after the Mexican sandal from Pre-columbian ages. Early forms of original Huaraches or Kwarachi can be dated back to the countryside farming communities of the Jalisco and Yucatan.

“Have you hugged your foot today” was the tagline Nike went out with in the ad’s to promote the shoe which had a very futuristic and unorthodox upper for its time, especially for a running shoe.

With its neoprene/lyrca upper the shoe was meant to fit like a sock and hug your feet throughout activity. It’s design has managed to stand the test of time and it still looks futuristic today as we approach its 30th Anniversary.

With the help of Michael Johnson to promote the ad and Jerry Seinfeld giving it a run out on his show, the shoe quickly transcended its original purpose from the track and into fashion.

This weeks release will see the shoe come in its original form with the Nike logo on the tongue replacing the “Air Huarache” logo which came onto the shoe at a later date.

The European release on Friday will be for one of its original colourways in “Scream Green” and its yet to be confirmed if anyone of the other OG colours will be coming out at a later date.

UK readers can get the Nike Air Huarache Scream Green from the SNKRS app on the 5th March from 8am. Be quick!
