This November, sneaker brands are pushing boundaries and flexing serious creative muscle. Whether you’re into streetwear icons, pop culture callbacks, or high-speed collabs, November’s lineup delivers something wild for everyone. Here are five of the coolest pairs about to shake up your rotation. Lace up, because these are the ones everyone’s going to be talking about. 5 coolest sneaker collaborations releasing in November 1. Eric Koston x Nike Air Max 95 SB Nike taps skate legend Eric Koston for a remix that feels both retro and rebellious. The Air Max 95 SB in Obsidian and Speed Yellow brings skater grit to a silhouette built for comfort. Think of it as a mashup of the halfpipe and the pavement, skate DNA meets sneakerhead heritage. Koston’s influence shows in the understated colour blocking and meticulous detailing that make this pair easy to rock daily but impossible to ignore. 2. Wicked x Puma Speedcat OG "Elphaba" Puma’s Wicked-inspired Speedcat channels pure green goddess energy. The “Elphaba” edition is sleek, shimmering, and straight-up theatrical, a love letter to everyone who’s ever rooted for the misunderstood villain. The catlike Speedcat shape keeps things sporty, but the emerald finish and spellbinding details make it clear this shoe was born for the spotlight. Expect these to fly off shelves faster than a broomstick in a thunderstorm. 3. Stranger Things x Nike Dunk Low Nike and Stranger Things are back, ahead of the show's final season, and this Dunk Low is straight from the Upside Down. The colourway is a nod to Hawkins High, but there’s a twist: eerie textures and subtle design cues that hint at supernatural chaos. This drop proves once again that Nike knows how to balance fandom with fashion. Consider this your next cult classic. 4. SpongeBob SquarePants x adidas Stan Smith Friezeit This collaboration walks that fine line between cartoon chaos and streetwear cool, a reminder that fun is a fashion statement too. These are smile-inducing with the playful design that flips the clean-cut tennis icon into something wonderfully absurd: pastel tones, cheeky graphics, and seaside vibes all over. 5. Bad Bunny x Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 x adidas Adiracer GT Teaming up with Mercedes’ F1 crew, the musician has engineered a sneaker that screams velocity. The Adiracer GT blends racing aesthetics with Bad Bunny’s effortlessly futuristic vibe; think sleek curves, metallic detailing, and performance flair you can actually flex on the street. This is for the ones who move fast and dress bold, like the Puerto Rican rapper and singer himself.
