The latest lifestyle
The New Arrivals lifestyle showcase the sneakers, clothing and accessories as they come in, from reissued archive models to new silhouettes.
The selection is refreshed with each release, colour after colour.
Reissues and archive silhouettes
A large part of the current lifestyle sneakers draws from the brands' archives. The running models from the 1990s and 2000s, originally designed for performance, are coming back as reissues faithful to their design, sometimes in their original colourway, or as hybrid models that combine an old upper with a newer sole. The materials are evolving too: lighter foams, more breathable meshes, and more durable leathers and suedes.
This is why a sneaker that looks retro can offer much better comfort than the original. The description of each model specifies its construction, which reveals more than its appearance. All pairs can be found in the sneakers.
Releases in waves
Brands don’t release a collection all at once: the colourways come in waves, often several times a season, and some are produced in limited quantities. For a sought-after model, the most common sizes, those worn by the majority of buyers, sell out first, while the extreme sizes remain available longer.
A model spotted in your size is therefore best not to wait on, especially since a sold-out colourway isn’t always reissued. On the other hand, someone who isn’t fixated on a specific colourway will often find the same model later on in the sales.
Does a new version fit the same?
Not always. When a brand updates a model, it may change its shape, the thickness of the tongue, or the height of the sole, which alters the feel on foot even in the same size. A reissue may also take on the original shape, which can be narrower than that of recent models.
Before ordering a new release in your usual size, it’s helpful to read the size guide and the information on the product page, which indicate if a model runs small or large. The brands allow you to find a manufacturer whose sizes you already know.

Frequently asked questions
Why are the 1990s models making a comeback?
Brands are drawing from their archives and bringing back running models from the 1990s and 2000s, true to their original design. These reissues attract with their retro style, often featuring modernised materials.
Why do some new releases sell out quickly?
Many sneakers are released in waves, in limited quantities depending on the colourways. The most common sizes sell out fast, so it's better to decide quickly on a highly anticipated model.
Does a reissue fit like the original model?
Not always: the shape may have been altered and the materials modernised. Compare the length of your foot to the brand's guide rather than automatically taking your old size.
How can you keep your sneakers looking new for longer?
Apply a protective spray before the first wear, alternate with another pair, and store them with shoe trees. Clean stains quickly, before they penetrate the material.
What is a hybrid model in sneakers?
A hybrid model combines an upper inspired by an old silhouette with a newer sole, often more comfortable. It retains a retro look while benefiting from modern cushioning.
