The strangest shoe in the Stranger Things x Puma collection is the LaFrance RNR, and that is saying something when the pack also includes a vine-covered LaFrance and a plum MB.06. The RNR takes Melo chunky retro-runner experiment and drowns it in Upside Down textures, and the result looks like a prop straight out of […]

The Stranger Things x Puma collection is not just the MB.06. LaMelo Ball signature-adjacent pairs are getting the Upside Down treatment too, and the LaFrance might actually be the loudest shoe of the whole pack. The MB.06 Stranger Things leads the collection with its plum-and-purple look, but this one goes completely the other direction. The […]

LaMelo Ball is heading to the Upside Down. Puma just confirmed a full Stranger Things collection with their signature star, and the centerpiece is the MB.06 wrapped in a spiderweb of Upside Down graphics. If you have followed Melo at all you know the vibe fits perfectly, the guy has never met a loud colorway […]

Song for the Mute keeps doing something most collaborators forget to do. They change the shoe itself. The SFTM x adidas Samba OG Core Black, style code HQ7600, landed October 16, 2026 for $130, and I think it is the strongest Samba mutation of the whole FW26 lineup. The Australian label first showed this set […]

Every fall Nike slips out one Dunk that nobody schedules their day around and then it quietly becomes the best value on the shelf.

It lands November 21, 2026 for $215 and style code IF4396-001, and I think it is quietly the most interesting Jordan of the season. […]

Holiday Jordan releases used to mean one thing for me. Space Jams, Concords, stuff that came in a fancy box. But every year around late November my brain drifts back to 1989 instead. The Air Jordan 4 Bred is coming back on November 27, 2026, and honestly I think this might be the most important […]

The line between sneaker culture and streaming culture keeps getting thinner, and Rakai is the newest proof. If you know the name, you know him from the livestreams. If you do not, get ready, because the guy just landed his own Under Armour signature silhouette, which is a sentence that would have sounded completely insane […]

Tyrrell Winston has been one of my favorite “wait, what label is this on” collaborations to watch. The New York artist built his name on found objects and consumer culture detritus, basketballs pulled out of dumpsters and recontextualized into gallery pieces, and somehow that eye translates to sneakers better than most designers with actual footwear […]
