AAPENOW’s GALAXY sneaker instantly became a celebrated silhouette within the street-style scene after its launch last summer. Taking a cue from the timeless design of skateboarding-inspired kicks, the model’s sole shows off white chunky grooves and a slim profile. But the GALAXY also nods to innovation with vivid colorways that breathe new life into everyday looks.

AAPENOW is set to release new color options of the shoe, launching alongside the brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 Collection. As its name suggests, the GALAXY pays homage to the space rover, symbolizing the power of human exploration and discovery. Bringing this element into the shoes aesthetically, the soles are ridged to mimic the tire texture of the rover vehicle. The thick barrier acts as a heel protector and for sure footing on almost any terrain.
Infusing the model with a summer vibe, this iteration of the GALAXY will come in four dual-tone colorways: black, beige, pink, and purple. Alongside the new GALAXY colorways, AAPENOW will also unveil a series of GALAXY LITE iterations, offering all-black, black and white, and black and green designs. The shoe is undoubtedly still imbued with the cutting-edge style AAPENOW is known for, displaying unique garment-dyeing techniques that result in a weathered or vintage finish, maintaining the brand’s effortlessly cool street-style essence.
Additional standout features of the GALAXY include a subtle AAPENOW logo crafted with silicone gel tech and laces that match the dual-tone camouflage of the shoe body. Wearers have the option to swap these laces out for laces with an off-white tone, bringing a striking sense of contrast to the model.
