A new chapter is beginning in the ongoing Wales Bonner x adidas collaboration. After having worked together for five years, elevating and editing a wide array of adidas sneakers, Wales Bonner is launching a brand new adidas model. The Wales Bonner x adidas Karintha is a new take on archival adidas sneakers. Its wavy, thin sole unit has a hint of adidas’ Tokyo model, and the T-shaped toe box is very Samba-coded, but this is an all-new design.

For the Nike Air Max 95’s 30th anniversary, Nike handed the reins to South Korean streetwear imprint WORKSOUT, and it’s given the classic sneaker a pretty substantial overhaul. Gone are the Air Max 95’s signature wavy panels, replaced by no-sew overlays with a subtle camo pattern. This new, clean-cut look is finished with 3M reflective hits and a huge swoosh logo across the side (which is further emphasised by its criss-crossed textures finish).

This might look like a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor Lows, but it isn't. What you're looking at is actually the latest collaboration between Japanese label nonnative and artisan shoemaker Spingle Move. The nonnative Dweller Trainer Low by Spingle Move is a low-cut, 7-eyelet canvas sneaker. In deep hues of gray, dark navy, and blue, each shoe looks like it survived a delicate watercolor wash thanks to the over-dye process, which gives every pair a slightly different patina.

Watches used to be about telling time. Now, they’re about telling the truth. No one really needs a watch to know the time anymore, which is why Our Legacy’s “No Time Watch” is perfect. It’s a fully non-functional watch that does absolutely nothing. Honesty in horology. In a world where utility is inescapable, the No Time Watch says the quiet part out loud: This is a watch you aren’t buying for the time but to show off. And, so, it’s kind of genius.

New Balance is closing out its 25th anniversary with UK sneaker stalwarts size? in style by re-releasing the New Balance 2002r “Protection Pack” shoes and dropping the 3rd and last colorway in sharp silver. After offering two colorways in previous weeks, one in earthy brown, and on in black and charcoal grey, size? has given its final New Balance “Protection Pack” sneaker drop a kind of slick urban polish that feels more Blade Runner than disco ball.
