Sneaker and Streetwear Collaborations Everyone Should Know

Pinpointing the first-ever fashion collaboration is a daunting task. Some look back to 1911, when French couturier Paul Poiret commissioned Parisian textile manufacturer Raoul Dufy to conjure up various fabrics for his luxury garments, while others cite Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí’s then-shocking 1937 “lobster” gown as the first true designer x artist partnership.

In streetwear and sportswear—movements that have done more to normalize collaborations than any other—the ’90s were when crossovers first began to rise to the surface, setting the stage for the early 2000s and 2010s as the concept exploded. Like runway shows or creative directors, collaborations are not a novelty, but an intrinsic part of the fashion lexicon. Today, new partnerships are continually emerging, as designers trade creative codes in the pursuit of unveiling something entirely original.

Below, an evolving list of recent and upcoming collaborations to have on your radar.

Recent and Upcoming Sneaker and Streetwear Collaborations

JJJJound x Descente

Descente was founded in Osaka, Japan, in 1935 by Takeo Ishimoto. Originally specializing in athleticwear, the brand later became renowned for its innovative ski apparel, pioneering ergonomic designs and advanced fabric technologies. Deriving its name from the French word for “descent,” Descente is now synonymous with high-performance gear, blending functionality with minimalist aesthetics.

Enter JJJJound, another notable force in the world of minimalism. Unsurprisingly, the pair have kept things simple with a capsule in 2024 and a second chapter in 2025. Together, the two bring understated design codes to down jackets, insulated vests, gloves, ski masks, bags and more.

AURALEE x New Balance

Japanese label AURALEE is a serial New Balance affiliate, having reinterpreted silhouettes like the WRPD Runner and 990v4 through founder Ryota Iwai’s pared-back aesthetic. The label provided a first look at a 475 collaboration during its Spring/Summer 2025 Paris Fashion Week presentation, reworking the “dad shoe” in two color schemes: one with earthy grey and brown hues, the other rendered in a slightly more effervescent yellow and blanched-out neon green.

Swarovski x Nike Air Max Plus

The Nike Air Max Plus is inspired by palm trees blowing in the wind, blending nature’s fluidity with a bold design language. Now, with Swarovski’s touch, the silhouette shines even brighter, adding sparkle to every step. Constructed with a black leather base, Swarovski crystals are placed on the TPU overlays for a statement look. Additional crystals arrive on the mini Swoosh, further enhancing the opulent aesthetic.

KITH x Sesame Street

The Sesame Street universe has become a fixture in streetwear, with collaborations including BAPE, Medicom Toy, and, most notably, a 2018 project between KAWS and Uniqlo, which spanned apparel and plush toys. In late 2024, Kith joined the list of collaborators, launching an expansive collection that included apparel, accessories and lifestyle goods, along with a special range for kids through the Kith Kids and Kith Baby lines.

Supreme x Spyder

Spyder, a pioneer in the ski universe since its inception in 1978, has built a reputation for blending high-performance technology with bold, distinctive designs, marked by its signature arachnid logo. Renowned for innovations like EXO Shield and EXO Thermo, the Colorado-based brand has consistently pushed the boundaries of outerwear. In 2024, Spyder took its expertise beyond the slopes, teaming up with Supreme on a capsule collection. Highlights included a technical outdoor jacket, as well as spiderweb-inspired gloves and even a Zippo lighter.

BAPE x adidas

It was back in 2016 that BAPE and adidas caused a storm when they teamed up for an all-encompassing winter collection, the start of which was a camo-clad NMD silhouette. The partnership has come a long way since, taking in projects like 2024’s Orketro sneaker. The original silhouette—designed in BAPE’s hometown of Tokyo, and released in 2020—incorporates contrasting Three Stripes on the left shoe and BAPE’s Sta logo on the right. Arriving in three colorways, the collaboration continues the duo’s journey of executing performance styles with the Japanese label’s signature codes.

Travis Scott x Nike Zoom Field Jaxx

Travis Scott is firmly embedded in the Nike family, redefining the landscape of artist-sneaker collaborations and setting a new standard for creative partnerships in footwear. The Nike Zoom Field Jaxx is an all-new model overseen by the Houston artist, drawing inspiration from the Spiridon and Land Shark baseball cleat. Following a surprise drop during the MLB All-Star Game, the shoe—crafted to complement Scott’s high-energy performances—debuts in Cactus Jack’s signature earthy brown palette, paying homage to the deserts of his Texan roots.

Marvel characters have frequently crossed into the world of footwear, and in 2024, Kith and ASICS took their turn to reimagine the iconic figures. The collaboration celebrates the comic book publisher’s 85th anniversary, with super villains serving as the inspiration for apparel, accessories, collectibles and sneakers.For the footwear, Kith and ASICS designed five custom models: a GT 2160 pack inspired by Spider-Man and Venom, a GT 2160 inspired by the Green Goblin, a Gel Kayano 14 inspired by the Silver Surfer and a Gel 1130 inspired by Magneto. Each silhouette features subtle nods to its respective character, from corresponding color codes to custom-printed insoles.

Futura x Nike

Over 20 years since the release of Futura’s legendary Nike SB Dunk High ‘FLOM,’ the NYC graffiti artist reunited with the Swoosh in 2024 on two SB Dunk Lows. Highlighted by a gradient visual effect and multicolored tones, the sneakers are rendered in ‘Bleached Aqua’ and a Friends & Family ‘Sunblush.’ “FL” (referencing Futura Laboratories) and Futura’s personal signature both appear on the heel of the shoe, with a lightweight, durable canvas upper employed for everyday wear and the demands of skateboarding.Regrouping once more in 2024, Futura worked with Nike ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics to create the Nike Jam, the Oregon brand’s first-ever shoe designed for breakdancing.

Action Bronson x New Balance

New Balance and Action Bronson kicked off a colorful partnership in 2023 with the ‘Baklava’ 990v6, a design inspired by the elements of water, earth and electricity, and the 990v6 in ‘Lapis Lazuli.’ One year later, the chef and rapper joined forces with the Boston label once more, this time taking on the 1906R in ‘Rosewater,’ ‘Medusa Azul’ and ‘Scorpius.’ “Having rosewater sprayed all over you is one of the most luxurious experiences,” said Bronson of the ‘Rosewater’ colorway.  “It’s a symbol of youth and decadence, like a droplet on a petal that gently falls upon you. These sneakers are pieces of my soul and art.”

Louis Vuitton x Timberland

Timberland’s rugged outdoor heritage meets Louis Vuitton’s luxury craftsmanship in a collaboration imagined by Pharrell Williams. Pharrell, who had previously worked on a collaboration with Timberland through his Bee Line label in the 2010s, placed the hardwearing brand at the forefront of the Fall/Winter 2024 Louis Vuitton show. Taking on the classic 6-Inch Boot with nubuck calf leather, the LV monogram is stamped into the upper and tongue.

Wales Bonner x adidas

Acclaimed designer Grace Wales Bonner explores her British-Caribbean roots and adidas’ celebrated status in Jamaican culture through their ongoing creative partnership. The Samba trainer is the hero style of the collaboration, boldly reimagined with snakeskin and metallic materials in a manner that recontextualizes its soccer heritage. “I’m always really drawn to brands that have a specific heritage—classicism, in a way,” said Wales Bonner of the collaboration. “When I create something, what I try to do is a meeting point between two worlds. I like that [adidas] really honors its history. I was connected with that way of looking at the past and also looking at how other cultures have appropriated and interpreted things differently.”

Palace x GAP

Palace lends its incendiary design language to the Gap for a collection that zeroes in on ’90s influences and skate culture. Highlights include a logo hoodie that trades “GAP” text for “PAL,” Oxford shirts, tracksuits, rugby shirts and board shorts. Three exclusive logo skate decks and a limited-edition Jeremy the Duck plush toy round out the project.

Nike x Jacquemus

French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus revealed his inaugural Nike collaboration in 2022, citing vintage ACG pieces and Nike campaigns from the ’90s as creative reference points for a collection that “[reinterpreted] women’s sportswear in a minimal way.” The partnership has since led to sneakers like the Air Humara LX and J Force 1, as well as accessories like the Le Sac Swoosh handbag.Jacquemus, a passionate Frenchman, teamed up with Nike once again ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This collaboration featured 10 lifestyle items in a red, white, blue and silver color palette, including tracksuits, statement bras and a new iteration of the Swoosh’s Air Max 1 sneaker. The release was accompanied by a short film titled “J’aime Paris,” which also marked Jacquemus’ directorial debut.

Travis Scott x Air Jordan

Travis Scott’s long-running affiliation with Air Jordan extends back to 2018's ‘Cactus Jack’ Air Jordan 4, a pale blue design that paid homage to the Houston Oilers. The partnership has since spawned some of contemporary footwear’s most notable collaborations, best exemplified by 2019’s reverse-Swoosh Air Jordan 1. From the AJ6 to the AJ33, the partnership continues to evolve, culminating in an inaugural signature silhouette in 2024, the Jordan Jumpman Jack. Executed in Cactus Jack’s earthy tones in addition to blues and reds, the sneaker is accompanied by an extensive apparel range. The Travis Scott x Jordan 1 'Reverse Olive / Medium Olive' is set to release September 28, 2024.

Accessories rounded out the collaboration, including a skate deck treated to a pre-worn aesthetic above a concealed Supreme logo, a bike chain, receipt wallet and even a blonde wig.Like so much of Supreme’s earlier work with other partners, the collaboration with Maison Margiela’s MM6 division demonstrates the versatility of the New York label’s creative expression.

Jean Paul Gaultier x sacai x Nike

sacai founder Chitose Abe is a member of the Jean Paul Gaultier family.

Denim Tears x Levi’s

Tremaine Emory, better known as Denim Tears, is a prolific collaborator, working with brands to amplify his activist message. The multi-hyphenate creative force has used his platform with Levi’s to explore themes of slavery, race and colonialism, employing a cotton wreath logo as a hallmark throughout. “When I went to Levi’s about three, four years ago to meet with them, I only had one design. I didn’t have a plan B. It was the cotton wreath, this emblem symbol that I adopted and created,” said Emory. “That was the plan to put that on the jeans, and that was the only plan. The wreath guided me to the design and to the storytelling behind it.”  

Fear of God Athletics 

Fear of God’s official partnership with adidas was three years in the making, eventually manifesting under the name Fear of God Athletics.

The Fear of God 86 Low, Los Angeles Runner and Adilette comprise the rest of the inaugural footwear.
