Nike’s ACG sub-line is responsible for some of the American sports gear giant's most unique concoctions. And the recently revived Rufus mule exemplifies ACG’s uncooly cool appeal, presenting an enticing mix of terrain-defiant functionality and gorpy ugly-chic aesthetics. The latest "College Grey/Khaki" Rufus is a minimalistically taupe-toned denim clog, its textured, washed-out body providing a look normally found on jeans that have been worn to the ground.

Nike's Jordan brand is known for some of the world's most iconic footwear. And while a good lot of its special releases can reach high price points, the basketball diffusion line exists far outside the world of luxury fashion. It is, however, darn good at emulating the latter.

Long before there was brat summer, Europeans across the continent would summarize the season's prickly attitude — that special, bubbly sensation that accompanies the warmer months of the year — as La Dolce Vita. Taken from the iconic, 1960's Federico Fellini film of the same name, the phrase captures the lush, retro-luxurious effervescence of Mediterranean hedonism. Ugh, what a "sweet life" indeed.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, isn't it? Well, Louis Vuitton Menswear creative director Pharrell Williams might think so, based on how his latest LV shoe is paying a whole lotta tribute to one of Nike's most iconic sneakers, the Cortez. 24 different-colored tributes, to be exact. Born in 1972, the Cortez was initially aimed at track and field athletes but'd become one of Nike's first mass-market successes.

Whenever Kith Classics and adidas Originals clash, magic happens. The two staples-dedicated sub-labels are, indeed, birds of a feather. Following last year's successful slew of mash-ups, Kith and adidas rejoin forces for a whole family of sneakers. Most interestingly amongst these co-branded babies, find a retrolicious revival of adidas’ once-Japan-exclusive AS350 shoe, as well as a sleekly slender Taekwondo Mei sneaker.

These days, running shoes really are a dime a dozen. Everyone's got the fastest, the lightest, the grippiest, the coolest. But who's actually got the best? Well, frankly, that is a question far too broad to be answered, seeing too just how specific-to-the-individual said answer would be. So, the question one should pose instead, is which contemporary running shoe covers most ground — literally and figuratively. Right now, I'd say it may just be the Adizero Evo SL.

Following a near-endless onslaught of increasingly lean sneakers, Salomon and COMME des GARÇONS opt out of the industry-wide competition that is to out-slim each other. Instead, the duo debuts a newly bulky, towering Mary Jane. As inspired by the ongoing ballerina shoe fad as the rest of ‘em (searches for “ballet sneakers” grew by 1300% this year on LYST), the RX Marie-Jeanne Platform takes a wholly opposite approach to most.

On Running's elderly shoes are about to get a slick makeover, thanks to the luxury streetwear connoisseurs over at Slam Jam. The Italian retailer has remixed one of On’s classically chunky running sneakers — what appears to be one of On's Cloudmonster shoes, to be specific — into something surprisingly classy. It helps when you make an otherwise function-first shoe all-black, something that the Swiss sportswear brand has done itself before, albeit with mixed results. Odd couple? Perhaps.

In a major move away from the slender sneaker shape it helped popularize, Miu Miu quietly introduced a shoe that bears striking resemblance to HOKA's extra-thicc running sneakers. Because, when everyone is following your lead, it's time to do a 180. In its pursuit of slimming down footwear, Miu Miu has perfected equivalents to the adidas Samba and Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 while collaborating directly with New Balance on red-hot super-flat leather dad shoes. Miu Miu going HOKA? Who could've guessed?
