For years now, the walls between luxury and sneakers have rapidly begun to crumble, as names like Dior and Louis Vuitton have collaborated with Nike to quite the roaring applause. And soon, the Swoosh will be enlisting the help of yet another name in high fashion: the ever-beloved Simon Porte Jacquemus.

Though well-known for creating fashionably tiny leather accessories, Jacquemus also dabbles often in sportswear-inspired pieces, such as hiking boots and even scuba gear. So a partnership with Nike seems like an adequate fit, especially considering that the designer manifested the collaboration, as he told Vogue “I always said to myself, If one day I do a collaboration, it will be with Nike.”

Though not much has surfaced from the collection other than a handful of teaser imagery, we have caught quick glimpses of upcoming standouts as well as written details from Jacquemus himself. There will be a total of 15 pieces, which marry the designer’s neutral-toned womenswear with Nike’s technical innovations. Pleated skirts, simple, bodycon dresses, and the like are among the selection, all of which may contrast the more rugged Humara sneaker, which has apparently been modified with a tiny, elegant Swoosh.

So far, only very few images have been shared of the upcoming collection, most of which only express the garments’ and shoes’ overall inspiration. More information and imagery should surface closer to the release on June 28th.

Imran Potato is well-known for his subversive, often humorous creations, from his foot-shaped slip-ons to his parodical series of bootleg gear. And soon, the New Jersey born designer will be channeling his creativity into a six-piece collection with Vault By Vans, which puts a spotlight on not only a newly-reissued model but also renewable, recycled materials.

To welcome Imran Potato into the family, the team at Vans opened the vault to the young creative. And for their first collection together, the two are bringing back a rarely-seen, ’90s skate-inspired classic: the KNU SKOOL. The design is extremely distinct from its original appearance in 1998, as the silhouette has been updated with an all-over suede upper, 3D Jazz stripe, overstuffed tongue, thick cotton laces, and a custom Potato-printed waffle sole.

A series of SK8-His join the collection, all of whose sides are covered with a primitively drawn human hand. This print grips the side panels as it does the tongue, boldly and conceptually evolving the concept of Imran Potato’s viral Caveman Slippers.

Both the KNU SKOOL and SK8-Hi will be releasing in three colorways: the low-top will come in a classic black and two cheetah print make-ups, while the high-top opts for a trio of classic options. All six shoes will be available first on ImranPotato.com beginning May 18th; a wider launch will follow on May 21st via Vans.com/vault and select retailers.

Due to the tragic events at AstroFest back in November 2021, Travis Scott took a long hiatus from the limelight, indefinitely postponing any public appearances, live performances, and product launches. However, enough time has passed, and now La Flame and Nike are set to resume their planned sneaker releases, including the Air Max 1, Air Trainer 1, and Air Jordan 1 Low OG.

While the former two are set to drop in May, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Reverse Mocha” is now expected to launch in full family sizes on July 21st. Featuring the same design as his previous “Mocha” and joint project with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design, the “Reverse Mocha” inverts the sail and brown for a summer-ready take on the remixed Air Jordan 1 Low OG. The large reverse Swoosh and ample Cactus Jack markings persist, with red accents covering the heel and the tongue.

Again, July 21st is now the expected release date for this collaboration; stay tuned for updates as we near that date.
