Whether inspired by the game or driven by nostalgia, these are five sneakers to track this June.
Dior Ribbon Sneakers
For Fall 2026, Jonathan Anderson debuts the Ribbon sneaker for Dior, offering a fresh perspective on luxury sportswear. Available at INR 90,000, drawing inspiration from the House’s J’Adior ribbon motif, the sneaker combines a relaxed silhouette with refined craftsmanship. From suede and denim to technical fabrics and textured cotton bouclé, each material contributes to the design’s layered appeal.
Stone Island x New Balance Furon Elite FG v9
The latest collaboration between Stone Island and New Balance pushes the boundaries of performance footwear with the Furon Elite FG v9 at around INR 38,000. The football boot’s defining feature is a heat-reactive upper that alters its colour with temperature changes, creating a striking visual effect. Designed for players who prioritise speed and precision, it combines advanced performance technology with Stone Island’s signature experimental approach to materials and design.
Dolce & Gabbana x Diadora
Dolce & Gabbana and Diadora have teamed up to reimagine the legendary Brasil, the football boot that first debuted in 1984. The collaboration, available in INR 51,855.47, arrives in two forms: the original performance-focused Brasil boot and the Brasil ID, a lifestyle sneaker built for everyday wear. Both styles blend Diadora’s sporting heritage with Dolce & Gabbana’s unmistakable flair, introducing leopard-print accents and luxurious materials into the mix. While the boot stays true to its technical roots with nappa leather and performance-driven construction, the Brasil ID leans into fashion with pony hair finishes and a folded tongue detail.
Willy Chavarria x Adidas Megaride “Mexico”
Adidas Originals and Willy Chavarria released the ‘Comienza Con El Sueño’ collection priced at around INR 24,600, a bold tribute to Mexican pride. The campaign grounded in the belief that dreams don’t begin on the world stage, but long before. Footwear includes the Willy Mega Low and Megaride AG XL – both built on the Megaride franchise tooling with an exaggerated upper, Chavarria branding at the tongue and hits of red throughout – alongside the Willy Chavarria Megaride Copa, a football-inspired silhouette.
Adidas Originals x Coca-Cola
Two of the well established brands, Adidas Originals and Coca-Cola are coming together to pull the strings of nostalgia by launching the FIFA World Cup 2026 collection which costs ₹13 999.00 and puts sneakers front and center.
