Release date calendar for running shoes – 2025

by Solereview editors
The release calendar table was last updated on May 19, 2025. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for the full list. While this calendar strives for a high rate of accuracy, please note that the dates are a mix of publicly confirmed release dates, best estimates based on historical launch cadence, and informal information on launch dates. To minimize brand influence and reciprocity, Solereview does not reach out to the brands directly for information on release dates. The current accuracy rate of this calendar is approximately 70%.
  1. The list of shoes released in the previous year (2024) is available here.

Wouldn’t it be nice to see a calendar that lists the release dates of upcoming running shoe models for a given year? Say, not just for the calendar year, but for a rolling 18-month period?

There are so many models spread across nearly a dozen shoe brands, so it can get confusing to keep track of launch months – even for us shoe-reviewing folks.

Except that such a calendar doesn’t exist. At least, not for running shoes. This page is a baby step towards changing that; this article will help our readers keep track of what’s next, and budget accordingly.

So why would anyone need a shoe release calendar? Sure, it’s good to know when the new models are arriving, but does the information result in tangible benefits, if at all?

Knowing the release date in advance makes the best use of your running shoe money. Here’s why this data helps make an informed purchase decision:

The previous model will go on markdown sales and can be bought for less money

Let’s say a popular shoe model gets its annual refresh every January. To clear inventory, brands and retailers will put the previous model on clearance sale when the release of the updated model becomes imminent.

Knowing the release date of the upcoming model could mean the difference between paying full price and saving money on discount sales. Most of the time, the old and new models overlap each other in the market, and that’s when the best deals are had.

The upcoming model could be an improved version that’s worth waiting for

Running shoes are seldom perfect, so many runners skip buying the current version and prefer to wait for the updated model.

The new model could be just an ‘upper-only’ update with no changes

Many brands re-use the midsole and outsole for several years, with two years being a common practice. For example, the Hoka Arahi 7 and 6 are based on the same sole, and so are the Altra Lone Peak 8 and 7.

If the ‘new’ model is just going to re-use the same midsole, then why spend more money on the new shoe – unless there is something wrong with the existing product?

After reviewing running shoes for over a decade, we have a fair idea of the design refresh cycle. For example, Nike, adidas, and Saucony tend to recycle their midsole designs for two years.

In other words, a running shoe released in 2025 will use the same sole for 2026. On the other hand, Asics and Brooks are now doing annual top-to-bottom refreshes for their main models.

Solereview doesn’t have a personal relationship with brands or retailers, so the information here is not official but our best guess.

Based on what we know, here are the highlight releases for the next 12 – 18 months. Just keep in mind that it takes at least a month for a shoe (after the release date) to be widely distributed across different retail channels.

January to March 2025:

By arriving early in December, the Saucony Ride 18 was the first shoe out of the gate. Like the Ride 17, it uses a Pwrrun+ midsole, but with an updated design. The adidas Adios Pro 4 and Asics Novablast 5 were also released in December.

So what’s left? Plenty more, if you ask us. The much awaited Hoka Bondi 9 (released) will hit the shelves, along with popular trainers like the Asics Nimbus 27 (released) and Brooks Glycerin 22 (released). The adidas adizero adios 9 (released) will show up in early January. The adidas adizero EVO SL got a wide release in February. The Brooks Hyperion Elite 4 (released) will get its updated PEBA midsole.

Other shoes in this quarter include the Nike Pegasus Premium and Nike Vomero 18. (Both released) Nike’s updated Vaporfly 4 (released) and Streakfly 2 (released) will also be released.

April to June 2025:

April kicks off with the highly anticipated Hoka Clifton 10 (released). Many ‘core’ models like the Asics Kayano 27, Brooks Ghost 17 (released), New Balance 860 v15, and Nike Structure 26 are slated for introduction.

Skechers is debuting a new design language – or direction – for its performance running products. We’ll see the first intro, called the Skechers Aero Tempo, in May 2025.

June has a couple of heavyweights releasing. The Nike Pegasus 42 and Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 are due for release. The new ON Cloudmonster Pro, Skechers Aero Spark, and Saucony Triumph 23 are some of the other highlights. The Adidas Boston 13 (released) will also be launched this quarter, and New Balance will release the SC Elite 5. The New Balance Rebel V5 also gets a top-to-bottom refresh in June.

July to September 2025:

Summer has historically been the strongest release season, and it’s no different for 2025. The Brooks Hyperion Elite 5, Brooks Hyperion Max 3, Saucony Endorphin 5, and New Balance SC Trainer 4 are solid marathon racing and training picks.

In July, Asics will overhaul its Metaspeed lineup with the brand-new Metaspeed Sky Tokyo, Metaspeed Edge Tokyo, and Metaspeed Ray. The midsole will use Asics’ new FlyteFoam Leap foam.

Footwear needs for shorter races will be covered by the Brooks Hyperion 3 and New Balance SC Pacer 3.

October to December 2025:

Running shoe releases come at a slower pace during late fall and start of winter.

Popular staples like the adidas Ultraboost 6X, Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23, New Balance 1080v15 will be launched in this quarter. Weather resistant variants like the Gore-Tex versions of Brooks Ghost, Nike Pegasus, and many others arrive just in time for the damp and cold season.

The asterisk on the change summary denotes that it is our best guess and the final product is not confirmed yet.
