Sneakers, trainers, kicks, whatever your calling them, you will be more than familiar with Collaborations. Aren't we all?! Wether you're tired of the whole thing, or your maxing out the overdraft to pick up collab after collab, these are looking pretty good.

We have all probably seen this shoe a fair few times, weather its on Instagram, Twitter or the many other Menswear blogs. But we thought we would bring you a few images and words on the second installment of the Feature High Roller Pack.
2014 brought us the second instalment of the 'MN Best Kicks of' awards. This year we've slimmed down the catergories and changed the way we vote for the best overall kick to make the whole thing a better experience. Let's get down to it, here are the winners for 2014'.
2014 really has been the year of the collaboration, with more and more retailers and designers getting involved with some of the biggest names in the sneaker world, such as Nike, ASICS, Saucony and adidas. Here we have our 7 best.

On Saturday we brought you the teaser for this UBIQ x Saucony Shadow Master via our social sources. Now we've got a full size image along with release information, exciting times.

You may not have heard of Anteater, but they're certainly both a store and collaborater that you should be well aware of. Coming of the back of their rather extraordinary 'Nature of the Beast' Saucony Jazz OG, they're now back with this 'Sand & Sea' release.


White Mountaineering have made their name in the game as one of the top collaborators, releasing loved shoes on a regular basis. Now they've decided to take on the Saucony Grid 9000.


Most of us are aware of all the gourmet burger joints popping up here there and everywhere, most of which based on the famous American burger diners. End Clothing have took this idea and decided to take a step away from predictable colour blocking, and to take inspiration from the loveable burger joint.


Extra Butter have never been shy about linking their collaborations with the cinema. And here we've got one of the most obvious yet (besides Death List 5, which could of basically of been named Kill Bill). Here they're taking on the space race.

For such a big and beautiful collaboration, there hasn't been much hype surrounding these. But here we have the first on the foot shots of both of the colour-ways, from the huge event that is Crepe City.


It's always a good day when we see a Saucony collaboration, especially when it's with Premier. This Life on Mars pack really is one of the best I've seen.

So today we have the nominations for the first of our Men's Needs' Kicks of 2013 awards, and this one (of course) is the biggest, Best Overall Kick of 2013. We hope we've fitted the 9 best shoes of 2013 into this list, so here they are.

Most recently from West NYC, we had the very different "Tequila Sunrise". That silhouette told us a lot about the team over at West NYC, confirming to us that they do not play by the book. As we have also seen with their other collaborations, such as the New Balance MT580. 

I usually shy away from Saucony in general, but this recent Distinct Life x BAU x Saucony release has had me considering moving away from Nike's infamous QS releases and looking into a brand, which doesn't over load us with release upon release and more importantly doesn't over charge.

West NYC are huge hitters in the world of collaborations, which iconic editions such as the New Balance MT580 Alpine Guide Edition. But now they've turned their attention to the Saucony brand, and their iconic Shadow 5000 silhouette. 

After the huge success of the "Three Brothers Pack" editions earlier in the year, Solebox have decided to revisit the classic Saucony Shadow 5000 silhouette for this amazing new collaboration named "The Lucanid". 

Play Cloths have had a successful run with Saucony lately, with the hugely successful (don't really understand why) Precious Metals pack. This time they've created a rather less brash colour-way for us to deal with which has been named the "Cotton Candy" pack.

Personally I am a massive fan of the Saucony Grid 9000 silhouette, but this premium pack takes it one step further with the addition of suede to the upper, making it look even better than with the standard nu-buck.

For most of you out there, Russia won't seem the best place to go get your sneaker fix, but Anteater are trying to change that, and this very DIFFERENT collaboration with Saucony is certainly a step in the right direction, maybe.
