Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Cloud, €220

With one of the most loyal fan bases around these are sure to fly off the shelves this September.

The 350 V2 once again features an entirely primeknit upper and matching rope laces while the semi-translucent mesh stripe allows you to transform the look of these trainers by simply changing the colour of your socks, a slick update that’s crying out for you to show some creativity.

What makes a good collectable sneaker? It is usually down to the latest tech mixed with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Inspired by the classic 1989 running shoe the ZX 4000 by Adidas, this updated version uses all the hottest technology from prime knit uppers and 3D printed lattice soles. Simply put, the tighter the lattice the firmer the support and vice versa. Why not try them for size?
