We hope you aren’t having shopping hangover from last weekend and ready for another weekly installment of sneaker releases. This week we’re entering a cozy zone that gears us up for the white Christmas many look forward to annually. So let’s jump right into it, can’t believe it’s already December!

 

Palm Angels x Moncler Genius 8 Shedir Snow Boot

If you’ve ever wanted to dress like a moon man during winter, here’s your chance. Moncler Genius, the branch of Moncler that works on exclusive collaborations with some of the biggest designers in the industry, has teamed up with Palm Angels for the ultimate snow boot. The water resistant footwear features a brown color palette with camo, perfect for cold season. Suede overlays on the rubber outsole and cotton uppers guarantee you’ll be the talk of the town on or off the slopes. Hit up retailers like END. to enter raffles or head over to moncler.com.

 

Release Date: December 2, 2021
Retail: $735
Resell pre-release: N/A

 

BEAMS x Crocs Classic All-Terrain Military Clog Shoes

We just can’t ignore how crazy this collaboration is. Japanese label BEAMS has taken a classic and boring clog from Crocs and turned it into a military-inspired piece of footwear — with a fully removable pocket and buckle closure on the heel. Sporting molle webbing on the vamp and a synch system that let’s you place the pocket on top of the vamp, these have multiple ways of being styled. Did we mention lug outsoles with enhanced treads? After an overseas release earlier this spring, they’re finally hitting retailers like Extra Butter in olive and black.

 

Release Date: December 2, 2021
Retail: $80
Resell pre-release: $90 – $120 (Olive), $70 – $120 (Black)

 

Fear of God The California

Made in Italy, Fear of God has introduced us to a slipper we didn’t know we needed, The California. With its slip-on design, open vent and raised outsole, the foam rubber footwear is more sleek and sexy than YEEZY Slide counterparts. You can shop the five colors: Oat, Concrete, Cement, Almond and Cream from retailers like Feature. The perfect at-home companion this winter.

 

Release Date: December 3, 2021
Retail: $195
Resell pre-release: $195 – $275 (Oat), $190 – $285 (Concrete), $185 – $300 (Cement), $180 – $320 (Almond), $190 – $330 (Cream)

 

adidas YEEZY 500 “Ash Grey”

Another week, another YEEZY. Can’t be mad at these though, we can all use more neutral tone sneakers in the rotation for the colder months. With three shades of grey covering the suede upper, midsole and adiPrene outsole, these are definitely worthy winter beaters. Hit up CONFIRMED app to secure your pair.

 

Release Date: December 4, 2021
Retail: $200
Resell pre-release: $275 – $450

 

Air Jordan 1 Element GORE-TEX “Particle Grey”

I guess we’ll save the most weatherproof sneaker for last. Anyone who lives in an area with tough winter conditions knows the GORE-TEX name. Wind- and water-resistant, the material is now applied to our favorite sneaker model — the AJ1. With waterproof nubuck leather on the overlays, an inner bootie, gusseted tongue and plush lining, staying warm, dry and fresh af is totally doable this winter. Hit up SNKRS app to lock in a pair.

 

Release Date: December 4, 2021
Retail: $200
Resell pre-release: $255 – $380
