Nike are deep into their European tour, celebrating the World Cup and the Cryoshot with collabs that feel more like cultural moments than just sneaker drops. We’ve already seen Jacquemus bring Parisian cool and Patta channel Dutch energy, now Palace steps in to give England its due.The Cryoshot Air Speed M x England x Palace isn’t just another “football-inspired” sneaker. It’s got that unmistakable London attitude, equal parts irreverent, streetwise, and just a tad bit rowdy. At first glance, th

Crocoliga is officially getting started. Following the launch of Lacoste’s fresh take on table tennis alongside Highsnobiety and Zalando, the project is kicking off in some of Europe’s creative capitals with the help of three collectives that represent their hometown’s underground cultural scenes.Obby & Jappari, Dar Studio, and Fritto FM will hold tournaments in their cities to find the local legends with sneaky topspin and killer dropshots. The first tournament held by Obby & Jappari wi

Miu Miu is seeing green. Not in the sense of jealousy, though. However, Miu Miu's gorgeous new green New Balance colorway might inspire some level of envy amongst those unable to snag a pair.In addition to its forest green colorway, the shoe wears a soft suede upper that gains some textural depth by way of technical fabric panels that have a way of reinstating the sneaker's sporty essence. The sneaker also has a removable leather cover insole, which can be taken out for easy washing, a

New Balance is dropping its top and feeling the breeze — in the most literal sense, of course. Always the pragmatic type, that New Balance.In collaboration with Korean clothing brand SUNLOVE, New Balance is launching two new colorways of its most adorable ballet flat, the Flat Breeze.Perched right at the intersection of sport and whimsy, the Flat Breeze recently joined New Balance's ever-extending lineage of hybrid shoes.Where other mixed footwear offerings err toward the side of geriatric

When a silhouette is as ubiquitous as the Nike Air Force 1, keeping it fresh requires subtle yet noticeable updates. Instead of relying on bold colorways or heavy-handed collaborations to turn heads, the Swoosh often finds success by rethinking the texture of its most foundational shape. For the Nike Air Force 1 Low Denim/Anthracite/Medium Ash, the brand is trading in its classic crisp leather for something decidedly more rugged.The Air Force 1 Low Denim/Anthracite/Medium Ash swaps the tradition

You don't need me to tell you that Nike has that dog in it. And when it comes to the Air Force 1, well, that's an alpha sneaker if we've ever seen it. That's what makes the Victor Worldwide AF1 such a fitting addition to Nike's wonderful world of Air Force 1 sneakers. To state the obvious, the shoe wears Victor Worldwide's Tosa Inu fighting dog logo at the heel, complete with a matching insole and lace chain charm.Elsewhere, the collaborative AF1 wears a black leath

Call me crazy, blind, or both, but my first thought upon seeing the concise new “JIL” logo in Jil Sander’s latest ready-to-wear collection was… CAT? As in, Caterpillar, the workwear brand for both burly manual laborers and LGBTs in search of solid boots (aka me). A quick poll of the newsroom has made me realize I’m alone in conflating JIL with CAT, yet I can’t unsee it and… I even kind of like it?Some may shriek with horror at the notion of creative director Simone Bellotti cutting off the “Sand

Heikki Salonen is one of the most important working designers who you've never heard of. After establishing his eponymous label, sold by tasteful retailers like Tokyo's Ware-Mo-Kou, Salonen graduated to a tenure at MM6 Maison Margiela, where he was instrumental (albeit intentionally anonymous) in evolving the Margiela sub-label from undersung womenswear line to a supremely good standalone label, with its own powerhouse Supreme collab to boot.Also while at Margiela, Salonen was a lynchp

There are only two things you need for a game of bat and ball, and it’s all in the name. However, there are levels to the equipment used in this simple beach sport, which consists of pinging a ball between two bats as many times as possible without dropping it.On one end of the spectrum are the endless supply of cheap plastic rackets and balls flogged at every beachfront stall since time immemorial. On the other are the biggest names in luxury fashion. Loro Piana, the opulent Italian fabric mill

The Wave Prophecy Moc is Mizuno’s most insane shoe. Which is really saying something, because the Japanese sneaker label is famously freaky.This is the mastermind behind orthopedic sandals held together by a confusing array of straps and running shoes where the heels literally hover above the ground. But they’re no match for the Mizuno Prophecy Moc, where a huge, wavy, hole-filled sole combines with a leather moccasin upper that sits somewhere between a loafer and a boat shoe. It’s the sneaker-l

Nigel Cabourn passed away at age 77, his team announced on June 11. The designer was a pioneer of workwear, militaria, and broader menswear but remained a best-kept secret outside of these realms. But in these realms, Cabourn was an undersung titan.Born into a post-war Britain, Cabourn's early brushes with workwear clothing — then worn as a necessity, rather than aesthetically — at first didn't inform his work. In fact, after studying fashion, he founded a moddish label that leaned on

Salomon is a brand that’s already built a stellar reputation for a good techy sneaker. Throw A-COLD-WALL in the mix and you’ve got yourself a match made in heaven.The pair have teamed up for the A-COLD-WALL × Salomon ACS PRO.Does this look like a classic Salomon shoe? Yes. Does it have A-COLD-WALL written all over it? You best believe it. Over the past few years, the British industrial sportswear brand has built a name for itself through carefully curated collaborations that have struck a cord,

Michael Olise, the 24-year-old Bayern Munich winger who also plays for the French national team, might be the best football player in the world right now. He’s certainly one of the most talked about. And sought after. Bayern signed him in 2024 for a reported $58 million, and he’s expected to put on a dazzling performance with France in this summer’s FIFA World Cup. Yet he arrives at a beautiful location in Paris’s 15th arrondissement — an area that’s residential in the way that suggests someone&

Berlin has a habit of leaving its mark on everything that passes through. Posters overlap until they become collages. Stickers multiply across street signs, utility boxes, and bathroom doors. Layers accumulate over years, creating a visual language that belongs entirely to the city itself. It’s unpolished yet personal. On an early summer evening at CUPRA City Garage Berlin, that same language found itself stretched across something considerably larger: the CUPRA Raval.To celebrate its latest col

Crocs going crazy? That's nothing new. But this time, the clog aficionado is turning things up a notch with its Classic Luxe Boat shoe, which is exactly what it sounds like: A Crocs clog crossbred with an aquatic boat shoe.It's the exact type of wacky concoction that's so offbeat it somehow just works. This kooky-cool amalgamation is something Crocs has proven to be very well-versed in. That being said, it's not all too shocking that Crocs has managed to put a boat shoe upper

New Balance's latest 991v2 sneaker? One word: dusty. But in a good way.The newest 991v2 Made in U.K. sneaker lands with the usual high-quality construction, including the luxe suede and mesh uppers. But this time, it's all dressed in a faded pink colorway called "Mahogany Rose."Altogether, it creates this worn-in look for the popular dad shoe that still feels fresh and quite summery. Basically, it's another 991 banger for the collection.2026 continues to be a good year f

Be there or be square? The adidas Stan Smith SQ has clearly chosen the latter option.The new adidas Stan Smith SQ sees the classic tennis shoe reimagined with square toe boxes, giving it a somewhat funky, slightly dressier look.Other than the square toes, it's pretty much the classic Stan Smith elsewhere. It keeps the usual glossy leather uppers and the signature Three Stripes holes on the side. Don't forget the actual picture of Stan Smith on the tongue.adidas has introduced other for

Nike's Total 90 III sneaker is more than ready for the World Cup, so much so that it turned into a soccer ball. Really, it's more like Nike turned a pretty pink soccer ball into a Total 90.The leather uppers, in particular, feature the same hexagonal patterns seen on soccer balls. It has even been nicknamed "Football" and "Soccer Ball" for its new design.It balances the sporty look with frilly touches, like ruffled laces and a full "Pink Rise" paint job.Th

Even in one of its quietest colorways, the Nike Pegasus Premium still somehow looks good enough to eat.The latest pairs land in a simple "Black and Sail" colorway, creating a clean two-tone look for the stylish running model.It honestly reminds us of those classic white-and-black cookies, a.k.a. the half-moon cookies dipped in chocolate and white vanilla icing (sometimes white chocolate if you're looking to make it extra sweet).But even though the Pegasus Premium is now a low-key
