3 Non-Jordan and Adidas Kicks Releasing This Holiday Season

This season is scattered with heat through the end of the year. There's the Columbia 11s (that Raf just picked up via SNKRS), Wheat 12s, and throw in some fire NMD & boosts and there goes a paycheck. But despite the headliners drawing people in this holiday season, let's focus on the releases that don't feature the Jumpman and the three stripes.

Fresh off their newly minted partnership this summer, Tyler pushes forward with another sneaker release under the Converse brand. The one stars feature a solid suede and a floral design that encompasses the star logo on the side. The kicks come in three colors (green, a yellow, and a beige) which plays off the simple design of the summer version of the Le Fleurs. 

Converse continues to slide through with shoes a decent price point. Despite being led by a name brand collaborator, the kicks run at $100. Compare that to the adidas x Pharrell NMDs running $20-30 higher aimed at the same market. 

RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 2ND, 2017

PRICE: $100

Stash x Nike Zoom Spiridon

A collabo for OG sneakerheads. In '03 NYC graffiti legend Stash collaborated with Nike on an AF1 and an Air Max BW, and then in '06 came out with an Air Max 95. Recently Stash has been tapped by Reebok for some collaborations. The Spiridons have seen a renewed interest since they've been retroed and when Stash brings in his signature color scheme on a project, the kicks become a little bit more special.

Zoom Spiridons are a low-key favorite for sneakerheads and then tack on the revival of cross trainers in fashion scenes and then add in Stash who's been making quiet heat for years. These sneakers are for sure under the radar.

A non-collabo, but these Sk8-His are coming strong. I don't care for much for the millennial pink colorway, but I have to admit these are pretty fire.

Staying with the non-Jordan and adidas theme, these kicks could be thrown into your fall/winter rotation. They're built like sneakerboots, but since these are already high-tops with vulcanized midsoles, it's an easy fit.

RELEASE DATE: AVAILABLE NOW

PRICE: $110 @ Caliroots
