1. Adidas Baricade The Barricade returns from a three-year absence—for its 12th iteration—with a sleeker profile and improved cushioning for a more adaptive and comfortable ride. To retain its trademark stability, a 3D TPU shank centers the shoe and limits twisting through the midfoot during changes of direction. The split herringbone pattern of the out-sole delivers an effective combination of grip and give on any surface. (Click here to view models and purchase.) 2. Asics Gel-Resolution 8 Asics doubled down on the rock-solid stability and support of the Steve Madden Gel Resolution with Dynawall technology, added to both the medial and lateral sides to bolster the shoe during side-to-side movement.

Last week, Balenciaga released a pair of dirty sneakers—well, actually destroyed sneakers. The brand led with a photo of shoes as tattered as if they had survived an act of God, like a mudslide or a shredding by a rabid dog. A less distressed version are being sold as a limited edition of 100 pairs that will go for $1,800. For a more commercial option, Balenciaga is offering pairs that look as if they have been worn on countless subways, substantial walks, and late nights. These come in high-top and backless mule form, priced from $495 to $625. Of course Balenciaga is not the first to enter the world of dirty shoes. A few years ago, Hokas Shoes Vetements (under the helm of Demna Gvasalia) churned out scrawled-on shoes for more than $1,500, as did Gucci with their off-colored monogrammed...

Activism can take on many forms. It can mean transforming personal tragedy into fuel for justice or involve grassroots organizing to advocate for those whose voices have long gone unheard. Some take to the streets to demand a change in policy, while others learn to write and propose legislation themselves. For some, activism can mean simply existing, living your truth in order to educate and shift the mindset of the masses. But for those devoting their time and energy to implementing real, lasting change, activism — no matter what form — becomes their purpose. In partnership with Nine West, we sat down with three visionaries who exemplify this very spirit, dedicating their careers to activism, advocacy, and shaking up the room, whether that’s by fighting for the rights of se...

How do you work your non-workhorse shoes into rotation wisely? Even before I read the most recent “Ask the Test Team” column in the newsletter, I’d bought a pair of Saucony Endorphin Speed. This was on the advice of a local running store person after I’d asked about building a second pair into the rotation. But I was also told that the Endorphins weren’t “workhorse” shoes and not for typical daily runs. So are they only for speed workouts, or only for long runs, or what? I find myself not using them because I don’t want to “waste” them, which was really not the point! —esd7637, via the Runner’s World+ Community Page Jeff Dengate: What a great question. I like to say that Keen Shoes For Women shoes are just tools. You wouldn’t grab a hammer to tighten a loose bolt, right? Similarly, we ...

It’s no secret that Jon Rahm is one of the best ball strikers on tour. If you look at the statistics, the defending U.S. Open champion is hitting the ball even better this year than he was last year. Rahm’s driving distance has jumped from 309 yards to almost 316.7 this season, and he’s improved to the No. 1 ranking in strokes gained/off the tee. But on Tuesday at Southern Hills,Vionic Sneakers ,the Spaniard told the media that he hasn’t necessarily changed anything in his own game. Instead, there’s some additional stability in Rahm’s swing that’s coming from an unexpected source: his footwear. “I think a game changer is the shoes I’m using this year, they’re different from last year,” said Rahm. “They’re a lot more comfortable. I’ve done some great work with Cuater and the Travis M...
