Bode Takes Us to Summer Camp, Wes Anderson Style

13 hours ago | highsnobiety.com | Donovan Alexander Barnett |David Fischer

At Paris Fashion Week, Bode's Spring/Summer 2026 collection delivered what the American brand does best: Reformatted nostalgia. But through Bode's arts-and-crafts-style presentation and summer camp themes, that nostalgia was framed from a younger, smaller point of view, something that wouldn’t feel out of place in a Wes Anderson film. Mind you, this wasn’t the only Anderson-coded moment of Paris Fashion Week (see: Pharrell, LV, and The Darjeeling Limited).
For SS26, Junya Watanabe & New Balance Bulk Up

19 hours ago | highsnobiety.com | Donovan Alexander Barnett |David Fischer

For Spring/Summer 2026, Junya Watanabe MAN ditches sleek silhouettes in favor of something meatier underfoot. Specifically, COMME des GARÇONS designer's menswear line is taking on the chunky, curved New Balance WRPD Runner. Spotted on the Paris Fashion Week runway in a crisp white colorway, the Junya Watanabe x New Balance WRPD Runner sneaker’s bulbous, mech-suit-like shape marks a sharp pivot from the streamlined New Balance Minimus UX200L Watanabe debuted back in March 2025.

20 hours ago | highsnobiety.com | Donovan Alexander Barnett |David Fischer

MANIFESTO is back, and once again, it’s shaking up Paris Fashion Week with a heady mix of art, fashion, music, and food. Hosted by KALEIDOSCOPE and GOAT, the annual culture festival returned for its fourth edition inside the winding halls of Espace Niemeyer, gathering creative heavyweights like Kristina Nagel, Willy Chavarria, Collina Strada, and chef Mathieu Canet.
Your Cool Uncle’s Cortez Just Got a Suede Suit

1 day ago | highsnobiety.com | Donovan Alexander Barnett |David Fischer

Landing later this summer, the Nike Cortez “Black/Sail” swaps the sneaker’s classic smooth leather for plush black nubuck, soft-grey suede Swooshes, and silver-tipped rope laces that flash like cufflinks. Little touches seal the upgrade. The black-and-white tongue tags, matching insoles, tonal heel embroidery, and those glinting dubraes that catch light every time you step off the curb. It’s giving “summer dressy,” but still infused with that retro Cortez sportiness.
First Look: The Well-Coiffed Future of the Dries Van Noten Man

1 day ago | highsnobiety.com | Jake Silbert |David Fischer

Dries Van Noten's future under new creative director Julian Klausner already looked steady, going off his well-received Fall/Winter 2025 womenswear show alone. Any lingering doubts were surely smashed by Klausner's smooth Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection, his first for the house. The ensuing offering was Dries but not, all the design language of what came before elevated by a fresh perspective. And no one loves freshness more than Van Noten himself.
First Look: Louis Vuitton's First-Class Paris-to-India Connection

1 day ago | highsnobiety.com | Jake Silbert |David Fischer

Pharrell's Louis Vuitton is terrifically worldly. Only a year or so ago, it was exploring Virgina, Pharrell's home state, and now it's sunbathing in India, where the LV Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection draws deep from a well of historic style in shaping its typically sumptuous seasonal spread. Since Louis Vuitton collections are typically quite expansive — and SS26 is hardly an exception — not every garment is obvious in its inspiration.
Frank Ocean Revives an Old Project. But No, It Isn’t Music

1 day ago | highsnobiety.com | Donovan Alexander Barnett |David Fischer

Still waiting on that creamy Frank Ocean ballad for summer? Sorry, nothing to see here. Frank Ocean fans were left hopeful that a new project is (finally) in the pipeline earlier this year, following the musician being spotted around putting up mysterious posters over in Japan. However, instead, the musician has broken his long silence with a different kind of project. If you're into jewelry, good news: Frank’s luxurious line Homer is back after a two-year sabbatical.
An Afro-Vegan Restaurant Makes a Flavorful Fashion Week Debut

1 day ago | highsnobiety.com | Donovan Alexander Barnett |David Fischer

JAH JAH just proved it’s not only feeding Paris, it’s dressing it too. Spring/Summer 2026 marks Jah Jah Studio's Paris Fashion Week debut (though not as part of the official PFW schedule) and the Afro-vegan hub turned fashion house served a collection as bold, soulful, and satisfying as its scotch bonnet–spiced plates. Set against a raw patchwork backdrop that’s part Kingston scrapyard, part Paris squat, the SS26 show reimagined tailoring and utility wear through an Afro-Caribbean lens.
Nike's Wild & Wavy New Sneaker Has Literal Astra Aura

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Tayler Adigun |David Fischer

Nike is on a wave when it comes to slim sneakers, and now that flat sneaker tide is taking a retro-futuristic turn. The Nike Astra Ultra sneaker has a super slim build with a narrow toe box, which gives the sleek silhouette a dance-shoe vibe. Admittedly, this comes despite the Astra Ultra resembling some of Nike’s running shoes, like the simple and slim Air Max Muse, the mint chocolate chip-flavored Nike Superfly, or the ’70s-era Nike LD-1000.
Nike's Outdoorsy Mule Has Beautifully Dirtied Denim

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Maximilian Migowski |David Fischer

Nike’s ACG sub-line is responsible for some of the American sports gear giant's most unique concoctions. And the recently revived Rufus mule exemplifies ACG’s uncooly cool appeal, presenting an enticing mix of terrain-defiant functionality and gorpy ugly-chic aesthetics. The latest "College Grey/Khaki" Rufus is a minimalistically taupe-toned denim clog, its textured, washed-out body providing a look normally found on jeans that have been worn to the ground.
