From Comme des Garçons Shox to Off-White Terra Kigers, which are your favourite sneaker collaborations in 2019?
Off-White and Comme des Garçons’ limited-edition collaborations are tapping into a market dominated by Nike, Adidas and Reebok
By 2025, sneakers are projected to be a US$95.14 billion industry, which is nearly double the US$55 billion valuation from 2016. It is safe to say that sneakers rule the world, and with sportswear giants Nike, Adidas and Reebok at the forefront, trainers are dominating the market ranging from simple classics to luxury and covetable creps (stylish shoes).
Not only have brands taken the sporty shoes and made them trendy, Off-White and Comme des Garçons are among the labels that have tapped into the market through limited-edition collaborations that resell for hundreds of dollars. In 2016 the reselling industry made an estimated US$1 billion in sales, and according to market research group NPD’s latest study of the global market, it could be as high as US$3 billion today.
The power of collaborations is beyond what we could have ever imagined, which is why we’ve rounded up some of the best sneaker collaborations that have launched in 2019. Ranging from Nike’s covetable Martine Rose Air Monarch, Sacai LDV Waffle Racers, Comme des Garçons Shox and Off-White Terra Kigers, to Converse’s JW Anderson trainers, we’ve compiled them all.
Take a look at the best sneaker collaborations of 2019, and let us know which shoe is your favourite.
