After a strong week of new drops, the next seven days is shaping up to be equally packed. Arguably the standout is the long-awaited half-and-half Dr. Martens Monkey Boots from Engineered Garments, which are finally set to get a wider release having already dropped in New York. Elsewhere, there are new bits from Samuel Ross‘ A-COLD-WALL*, Common Projects and Acne Studios.

This week also features a range of new collaborations with Patta rekindling its work with Mephisto, while Self Made has joined in colette‘s farewell series of releases and Burberry has recruited Kris Wu for an exclusive collaboration. As always, we’ve compiled a list of the best products dropping in Europe this week, as well as all the information you’ll need to cop.
