Limited shoes are everywhere these days. Whether it’s a high-profile celebrity collaboration, a premium take on a staple style or a rare commemorative anniversary run, limited footwear is abundant and, more importantly, here to stay.
However, “limited edition” doesn’t automatically mean it’s a great shoe. Far too often, brands are guilty of slapping the limited tag on a shoe to generate buzz that otherwise wouldn’t have existed. On the opposite side of the spectrum are the shoes that are so scarce and so hyped — think Yeezys or OVO x Air Jordans — that they’re seemingly unattainable to the everyday shopper.
To help you find some middle ground, Footwear News has narrowed down a select list of limited edition sneakers worth buying this holiday season.
